Looking to get a new pocket knife. Only have regular case/buck knives now. Was leaning toward Spyderco Native 5 or Benchmade Bugout mini. Don't want anything that is too big. Any recommendations? Probably $150 or less.

I'd buy the Benchmade if I was spending that amount

I have a Kershaw Scallion that I use everyday. It's small enough that I don't notice it in my pocket.

Love my old Case knives. Most practical in use.

I like my Civivi Elementum Button Lock. It's a great fidget knife.

I have a bugout that I carry every weekend when working at my farm (carry multiple others during the week).

It's a great knife. I've yet to see a mini bugout (haven't looked really)

WAY below your budget but, the Ontario Rat is a great EDC beater knife. Around $30

For reference, the RAT II and Bugout Mini are the two in the middle:

Automatic Kalashnikov 74 (Böker)

I been through a bunch of different knives over the last few years. For whatever reason haven’t liked one that has stuck so to speak. Just got this one a couple weeks ago and I think I might have found my knife. The automatic is a real nice feature…and let me tell you….the spring in this knife is definitely impressive. Just my .02

I have a couple of ontarios, a bugout, and some other knives. I don’t think there is a better value than the sog terminus in d2 or the sog terminus XR in S35vn. You can easily find the black rifle coffee company code for sog I think it’s like 25 or 30 percent off the sog website.

My recommendation as well. I recommend them to all my buddies and have bought countless to give away to customers/friends as gifts. They’re impossible to beat for the money.

I have a rat 2 in d2 and it’s great but I highly recommend the sog terminus over it for the money. The rat 2 in d2 is $40-$45 on Amazon and the terminus in d2 is $45 if you use brccsave25 when you checkout. Even if you already have a rat 2, you should check it out to compare. I don’t think there’s a better beater for the money.

Kids gave me a Spyderco H-1. Only drawback is the serrated blade. I have carried it for about five years.

Opinel No.7

At their price point, if it gets lost, damaged, or stolen you won't feel too bad.
