I originally tried this post in a knife newsgroup, oops,
wrong crowd for a do-it-yourselfer.....so I thought
I would ask the newsgroup who were a little more
like myself, all comments appreciated.

I like to carry a small, thin knife for every day use. I also
use it at work to open boxes, cut plastic banding, etc. I
am not supposed to have a knife at work, but my work is
easier with one. The current one I have is a folder, very
thin, and cheap. I hate how the blade dulls after a few
uses. Looking for recommendations for decent quality
knife that will hold an edge, but am not interested in
spending a ton of money for a pocket knife. I appreciate
the responses in advance.


Get a box cutter. One that uses single edge razor blades,cheap to
replace,VERY sharp. One I have is thinner than a pocket knife.

Cold Steel,Columbia Knife and Tool(aka CKRT),Benchmade,all make good
folding knives,perhaps a bit pricier than you want.
Gerber,too,and you can find them at WalMart.

Or go to a gun show,they usually have some vendors who specialize in
knives. and boxes of cheap knives abound there.
