Need to think about what jobs it will be used for. In a stright knife make sure it has a full tang.(the blade is one piece from tip to end of handle)For a cheap knife, get either a Glock 78 or 81. Saw back is worthless just so you know. You will have to put an edge on them as they were About the dullest knives that I have ever bought. $30 what did I expect.
