Well I had a nice Benchmade I carried and somehow have misplaced it, pissed me off so much and knowing I would eventually find it I did not want to spend another $300 for one. Since then I have made it a quest of sorts to gather different auto's as inexpensively as possible. Flea market finds of $5 and $20 were the first, Then Kershaw and Schrade started making them and the last one I got was an OTF Lightning and clone of a well made expensive knife.
Anyway None were over $39 and the first in the pic is a $24 OTF. Yeah the Benchmade was a better knife but these are sharp and also if I lose one I will not cry. All have been 100% function and w my carbide sharpener I can keep them very useful! Fl CCW is a weapons permit so we can carry almost anything.
The sharpener, very inexpensive, I have used these for 10 years at least finally broke the original and got 3 new ones these are $2+ from China or $8 from a US seller. tungsten carbide steel
