Pocket Knives Under $20 | Cheap EDC Folding Knives
A good pocket knife doesn't have to cost a fortune. Every folder on this page is under twenty dollars — real, working knives you can drop in a pocket, toss in a tackle box or keep in the truck without worrying about losing them.
What $20 actually buys
More than you'd think. Classic slipjoints and trappers from Frost Cutlery, hard-working lockbacks from Rite Edge and ElitEdge, fishing and utility folders, and regular markdowns that pull bigger names like Kershaw under the line when they're on offer. These are the knives that get used — opening boxes, cutting line, whittling at camp — the ones you buy two of.
How to choose a budget folder
Pick by pattern, not price. A lockback gives you a secure blade for utility work. A slipjoint is the traditional pocket carry — light, simple, office-friendly in most places. If it's a gift or a starter knife for a new outdoorsman, a classic trapper or stockman pattern never misses. Blades at this price are usually stainless — easy to sharpen, low maintenance.
