What's a GOOD folding knife out there 3-31/2 inch blade, no serrated blade, with
pocket clip? No more than about $50. Can a good one be had for $50 or less? Thanks |

I'll give my usual list of characters for good value knives in this price range. There are quite a few, and it depends on what you're looking for but several will fill the bill. Check these out, I own one of each of them and they're all good. Spyderco Tenacious Spyderco Delica Spyderco Endura Kershaw Leek Kershaw Blur Kershaw Skyline Kershaw OD-1 Benchmade Vex (this is the only one I don't have but have heard good things generally) |

I absolutely LOVE my kershaw skyline, so much so that I'm buying several for friends for Christmas.
It comes from the factory with a great edge, and it holds its edge very well through lots of chores. I'm an edge fanatic, so I convexed mine, and it's scary sharp now, with great edge retention. All in all, it's a hell of a good knife. |

The one I currently carry is a S&W "Special Ops" assisted opening with a Tanto blade. I got it for $35 at a gun show. Probably over paid, but I like it and I got the blade really sharp. ETA: found a pic...  ETA: Did a little digging, I paid a really good price on it. Most online vendors are selling it at around $35 + shipping. |

Depends on what kind of knife you like. If you like liner locks, here's a good one.
