Vosteed Porcupine

you could try a Vosteed Porcupine. Fun colors, super fun knife to figdet with, etc.

I've got the Porcupine and PM2. Both are phenomenal.

My personal recommendation for the best budget knife this year would be the vosteed porcupine. you can find them for around $50.

Porcupine is the best fit and finish. I LOVE this knife. If I was more used to the thumbhole design I might choose it over the Kizer. Detent (and button) is very strong, but once you get a good flick its probably the most satisfying lockup. Theres almost a zip/swoosh sound when it get flies open. Excellent wrist flick with the button mechanism. Best ergonomics in the hand for hard use.

For a shorter blade, I'm seriously thinking about the Vosteed Porcupine.

Might be worth looking at the Vosteed Porcupine or mini Nightshade, the Kizer Bulldog or Drop Bear (1 or 2)...

Got the Vosteed Porcupine, have to say it is a great budget knife, good ergonomics and extremely sharp out the box. It is a good looking knife as well

Same with the Porcupine. Hell, get them both and you’re still under $150, with 2 awesome and fidgety knives.
