Knife for around $60

I am looking for a knife in the $50-$70 range. I primarily just want a good 3-4 inch blade, but accessory options are of course a plus. The two most important factors would be the ability to hold a sharp edge and have a clip. Thanks.

One can commonly buy a Spyderco with an AUS-6 grade blade, and a nice bearing, meeting all those specs, within that price range. That would be the knife I'd buy. Their folders are big, and last for years.

You beat me to it. The Spyderco Endura or Delica are top notch knives in that price range. I've been carrying an Endura every day since '94. When I retire it, I'm buying another one.

Re: Knife for around $60

Well generally price dictates performance so thats why I say around $60. I have looked at these mora knives and seem only to hear good things about them. But are they that high of quality or more a great value? I've read where people have said "I've had mine for a decade", but this doesn't tell me much about performance. My friends Honda is a piece but it lasts.
