Victorinox Cadet, same answer I always give to this question. Small but useful and universally nonthreatening. Plus it never hurts to have a bottle opener and a few screwdrivers with you as well. [Under 30$ also] (https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-53044-Cadet-Black-Swiss/dp/B000WEG8PA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468775396&sr=8-1&keywords=victorinox+cadet)

  • ~$7-8 Sanrenmu 7010/710 - You can find these at Gearbest for cheap as hell when they have sales but they're absolutely $30 worth of knife
  • ~$10-20 Opinel no.6-12 - Depends on blade size/steel/handle wood. #6 is under 3in blade if that kind of thing matters.
  • ~$20 CRKT Drifter
  • ~$20 Spyderco Byrd Cara Cara2
  • ~$20-25 Ontario Rat II or Rat I
  • ~$30 Victorinox Cadet Alox
  • ~$30 Kershaw Cryo
  • ~$35 CRKT Ripple
  • ~$35 Spyderco Persistence
  • ~$40 Kershaw Skyline - Often on sale in the ~$30 range
  • ~$40 Kershaw Leek - Same sales as with the Skyline \^^

    Honorable Mention: Case knives. Traditional lockbacks. Hard as nails and pretty to boot. True pocket knives. Your grandfather (possibly great grandfather) had one. Good stuff the lot of them. $25-50 will get you a legacy knife that you can carry and use and then pass to your kid.

    You don't need to spend $200 to get a quality, durable, reliable knife. I've owned all of these knives at one time or another and loved every one of them. Sure they needed sharpening more often and sometimes something a little more drastic (Sanrenmus are often cheaper to replace than fix) but the value is insane. Plus, lets face facts; we're much more likely to break out our Cadet when we get box duty than our Sebenza.

    Knife enthusiasts (brothers) if there's a weighed and measured cheapo that I forgot, let me know.

Unless something has changed recently, you should be able to carry a cadet in the UK. And in most places outside of airlines.

Good old Victorinox! I carry a Victorinox Cadet or a Bantam as an everyday pocketknife. I like the Compact for camping.

Things:

u/IronPentacarbonyl · 4 pointsr/EDC

I'm a fan of the Executive, which is very slim and has about a 2" main blade. It comes in black, too. If you want a bit more knife and don't mind losing the toothpick/tweezers and scissors, the Cadet is popular for good reason. Among the keychain size knives, my favorite is the Rambler, for packing all the most important (to me, anyway) tools into a very small package.

u/mroystacatz · 4 pointsr/knifeclub

Here are my personal essentials.


  • Spyderco Delica 4: $60 VG-10 steel, comes in tons of colors
  • Spyderco Endura 4: Larger version of Delica
  • Morakniv Companion: $12-$20 A really awesome fixed blade, outperforms knives triple it's price.
  • Victorinox Tinker: $20-25 classic swiss army knife, really great quality in general. Lots of tools but not too many so it's easily pocket carried.
  • Victorinox Cadet: Smaller Swiss Army Knife, aluminum handles. Lots of colors.
  • Kershaw Cryo, or Cryo 2: $20-40 steel frame lock, Hinderer design, good price, tons of colors. The Cryo 2 is the same as the Cryo just larger.
  • Ontaro Rat 1 or 2: $25-30 Classically shaped folders with a very rugged build for a liner lock. The 2 is a smaller version of the 1.

    Also, you're going to want a sharpening system that works for you in the long run. I personally use the Spyderco Sharpmaker But there are tons of good sharpening options out there.

    P.S: You're going to get a lot of people hating on your Gerbers most likely, that's because they're honestly not worth it in the long run. They use very low quality steel for the price and they don't have the best quality control. I'm not saying your Gerbers are trash or anything. But they definitely won't last very long. Just about all of the knives I listed will last you a lifetime if you treat them right, and oil/sharpen them correctly.

Here's mine. (I didn't include anything crazy like a Spyderco Manix 2...which I've wanted for years...just stuff that's affordable)

If you need more of a multi-tool, the Leatherman Skeletool is awesome.

If you're just looking for a blade, the Kershaw Cryo is a really solid knife for the price (currently around $23). Because it's all metal, it has some weight to it, but I really like it and it's currently in my EDC.

If you want multifunction but not a large multitool, the Victorinox Swiss Army Cadet is stylish, lightweight, and very functional.

just wait till you see these (source)

But the black cadets can be bought on amazon.com here: http://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-53044-Cadet-Black-Swiss/dp/B000WEG8PA

The Skyline definitely sounds like what I'm looking for, I will probably get one soon. Traction probably won't be an issue, I'll likely be carrying something more robust when I'm likely to run into such situations anyways. I just want something with a decent sized blade (> 3") that's light (< 3.5 oz) and thin (< .5") to carry when I don't need something heftier.

Found the silver, black, and red Alox Cadets on Amazon. I don't see any other colors either. I can get a silver Cadet for $20 locally, but I'd rather have black and I can probably find a cheaper price somewhere. My Wenger is heavily worn but still holding up, so I'm not really in a rush to get another SAK.





u/ame-foto · 1 pointr/EDC

Yes! The Alox Victorinox Cadet (where it has the metal case instead of plastic) is awesome. It's super thin too, it fits in my work dress pants pockets perfectly.
