What is your experience with cheap knives from amazon or others? There are a lot of sub $50 knives there with mostly positive reviews. Are they actually good? Or do you have better cheap options that are not sponsored by amazon? I see brands on there like Lothar or Bergkvist. They actually have decent websites on their own, so I don't know if they are actually that amazon trash or a decent budget brand.

I personally wouldn’t buy them, as there are good knives from more reputable companies at that price point. Case in point: the Knafs Lander. It’s currently listed at $45 on Amazon (if you are set on buying from Amazon, and not directly from the company). I backed the kickstarter when it first started and I’m carrying it right now.

Other companies like CRKT, Spyderco, Kershaw all make knives under or around $50 that are solid. I own and have carried knives from all of them. I’d rather go with a more reputable company. Just my two cents.
