I don't know that you'll find any Benchmade or Zero Tolerance knives under $75.
EDC means different things to differetn people, but... The Kershaw Leek, Skyline, & Blur are nice budget EDC knives. if you don't want assisted, Kershaw Skyline. I also like the Kershaw Reverb and Boker Urban Trapper & Urban Trapper Petite, if you don't mind it not being made in the USA. http://knifeinformer.com/the-best-folding-knives-under-50/ |

The Spyderco Delica and the Endura should be two to consider under the $75 range that are easy to open/close, don't have the deep bellies like most of the ZT profiles and are good slicers, if that's what he needs.

Maybe look at some lockback style knives like the Gerber 39 series. They have two sizes, USA assembled and in the price range.

Quote HistoryIf he's going the SAK route, I've been sporting a SwissChamp in a Zermatt holster (with sharpening steel) on my belt for 4 years and those can be had around the $75-$80 mark, if he looks around.
I'm looking at the cheaper and less equipped Huntsman Plus for about $39, for stashing away. I missed out on two SwissChamps that were sealed in their blister packs and both went for $40ish on Ebay last week. Drats! Chris |

There are a lot of good choices in the SAK genre... I just brought up those choices to "plant the Victorinox seed" if you will...
I carry 2 knives daily. 1 is always an Ambassidor... the other is another folder that is locking and can be operated 1 handed. Depending on what I'm doing, I have several different knives to fit that role... most are Spyderco knives (Delica at the office, Tenacious mostly on weekends or days off...). I also have an LAPG flipper that I like for occasional off-time EDC as well... LAPG TBFK S35VN EDC >>> 
I dunno about the S35VN part but it is a nice ("beater") knife for $35! |

Lots of great options mentioned here. I'll certainly find one out of the list provided. It's also given me a couple ideas for myself. I've been using a Benchmade Osborne 950 rift, but it's just too wide of a belly for my liking. Thanks guys.

Spyderco has served me well for years. But I am also a huge fan of the leatherman skeletool. Not to big or heavy, easy one hand open blade the doesn't require the tool to open. And versatility of some basic tools. Add that it takes the bits so those leatherman bit cards can be had for 15 bucks.

Looking for a belated Father's Day gift. One of the gift ideas I had didn't work out, so I'm swapping it out for a knife. He's in his late 60s so tactical is not a focus. No autos or assisted. I was thinking a small Benchmade or ZT? He doesn't really like knives that have a wide blade/belly on them. Any suggestions? |

The engraving is a nice touch but make sure you double check before you submit it because they engrave exactly what you submit, errors and all. |
