I thought about doing the best EDC knives for $35, and I would have to put this on that list too. This liner lock has a flipper tab on the back as well as an elongated hole for multiple deployment options. One of the cheapest knives that made the list, the Sencut Acumen is a capable folder that gets the job done while still looking like it costs more than it does.

As you can see in the picture, not a scratch for using it. One knife test I do is slicing a soda can, and that can leave a ton of marks on coated blades. The blade here is coated (there is no indication with what) and it seems to stand up to wear and tear pretty well. I only have a few knives with the 14c28n steel and, in my experience, it takes an edge super easy. This model wears a titanium pocket clip and the blade rides on ceramic ball bearings, is 3.5” long, and made from 14c28n steel. The Miguron Amazon listing says the scales are waterproof micarta, but they really seem like G10 to me. Skip Amazon on this one and go over to AliExpress to save a few bucks. Another front flipper, this one is fun to open once you get the hang of it. But for the $50 price tag, I can’t really complain.

That means it will have more than decent edge retention on top of the fact that D2 sharpens on almost anything. The Kubey’s 3.6” blade comes in at 61 on the hardness scale. Many brands today actively promote their Rockwell hardness like a badge of honor, however this was not the case a few years ago. The Nova I bought has G10 scales over skeletonized lines, a reversible deep carry pocket clip, a nice D2 blade that was very sharp out of the box, and well-done milling of the scales for a great fit in the hand. Brands like Civvi and Trivisa should take a lesson. Sometimes Chinese knives can be hit or miss, but this one is a winner. It’s really crazy that at the time I am writing this, the knife is only $40. The Nova has to be one of the best all-around deals on this list. He does some great reviews and videos, and (like me) he actually has the knife in hand. I picked up the Nova after seeing a video round up by Stassa23 Knife Therapy on YouTube. Shop On Amazon Shop On Blade HQ Kubey Nova
