00:00Okay, so I've got a bit of a problem, I keep losing pocket knives.
00:04Left one at a campsite, dropped one in a parking lot, and don't even ask about the one that went
00:09through the wash. So instead of dropping 80 bucks on another fancy folder, I went hunting for the
00:14best budget folding utility knives you can actually carry every day. Five of them, all under $7,
00:21all with ratings that made me do a double take. Let's get into it.
00:26Starting with the WXCOO Stainless Steel Folding Knife. This one's the workhorse of the bunch.
00:33What sold me was the non-slip handle, it's got this textured grip that actually stays put when
00:37your hands are wet or greasy, which sounds like a small thing until you're trying to break down
00:41cardboard boxes in the rain. It doubles as a fruit peeler and food prep tool, so it lives in my
00:47bag
00:48for lunch breaks. $6.38. Nearly 5,000 sold with a 4.9 rating. For that price, honestly, buy too.
00:59Next up is the Outdoor Multifunctional Folding Knife, and this is the cheapest full-size option
01:04here at $5.08. The standout for me is how genuinely sharp this thing comes out of the package I
01:10sliced
01:11through packing tape and a zip tie without thinking about it. It's marketed as a tactical and personal
01:16defense knife, but realistically, it's the best box opener I've owned. Solid stainless steel,
01:23folds down flat, disappears in a pocket. Almost 4,900 people bought it and it's sitting at 4.9 stars.
01:30Hard to argue with that. Third is the Stainless Steel Multifunctional Pocket Knife,
01:36and this one's the Kitchen Crossover. The blade geometry is more of a paring knife shape,
01:41so it's thinner and it actually glides through tomatoes and apples instead of squishing them.
01:46If you camp, picnic, or just want something in the glove box for road trip snacks, this is the one.
01:53$5.22. $4,700 sold, 4.9 rating. It's the knife I hand to people who say they don't need
02:01a knife
02:02and then they keep it. Number 4 is the Mini Folding Knife, and this is my favorite of the whole
02:07lineup.
02:08It's tiny, keychain size, genuinely, but the blade locks up solid and it's sharp enough to matter.
02:14I've got it on my keyring next to my house key and I've forgotten it's there until I need it.
02:19That's exactly what you want from an EDC piece. It's also the cheapest here at $4.54,
02:26with a 4.9 rating across 4,400 sales. If you carry nothing else, carry this.
02:33And finishing up, the Stainless Steel Folding Utility Knife with the Back Splint.
02:38This is the one with a trick up its sleeve, replaceable SK5 blades.
02:43So when it dulls, you don't sharpen it, you just swap it. That's huge if you're cutting drywall,
02:49carpet, or anything that eats an edge. It's also got a corkscrew built in,
02:54which feels random until you're at a campsite with a bottle of wine in no plan.
02:58628, 4.7 stars, 4,100 sold. Best pick for actual jobsite work.
03:06All five links are down in the description, so grab whichever one fits your pocket.
03:11If this helped you out, drop a like and subscribe I've got more budget gear tests coming.
03:16Thanks for watching, and I'll catch you in the next one.
