This thread is spun off from the "Inexpensive Valuable Knives" thread.
This is the place to offer suggestions for knives you consider to be a bargain, modestly priced, yet providing good value, but which don't make the $25 cutoff in the other thread.
So, just to establish the framing for the price range, let's begin at $26 -- where the other thread leaves off -- and continue up to $60.
Some latitude is allowed for "outstanding value," in a knife that may cost a bit more than $60 but whose value would normally peg it as costing twice that.
Let's use some common sense. A $75 knife that's worth $75 is out of range for this discussion, even if it's your favorite and you know someone else would love one. For that, just start a separate thread.
I'm going to start off with the new Light My Fire / Mora product, the FireKnife.
I recently scored one of these for $25, FOB my front door, but the usual retail pricing is around $30.
They come in several colors:
The one I got is green: - -
See also the separate thread on this knife.
I will mention that there are several Mora knives that fall in this $26-to-$60 price range. The Swedish catalog at Ragnar's Forge has a lot of them.
Happily, the $60 cap opens the door to this little gem:
The The Eriksson Hand Axe weighs in at about 18 oz, and costs $59 at Ragnar's place.
