Cheap Every Day Carry, Part 1
So I ordered a bunch of cheapo knives to replace the Spyderco Delica I lost while on vacation. Here's what I got:
CRKT small Crawford/Kasper, $19.99
Winchester rip-off of the Spyderco Endura, $5.99
Kabar International linerlock, $3.99
What is the saying, "you get what you pay for"? The Winchester and Kabar knives were just a notch above the flea market crap. The Winchester is such a blatant rip-off of the Endura that it's not really funny. See for yourself:
I didn't even bother carrying the Kabar and Winchester around. The CRKT rode in my pocket for a few days, but it's too heavy for carrying in dressy clothes. My Delica was with me through at least five rental tuxedos over its lifetime.
So I caved in and bought a new Delica. Broke the tip already. :-(
