Camel
The Remette Camel is proof that a great knife doesn't have to cost much. D2 steel sheepsfoot blade, ceramic bearing pivot, button top liner lock, and your choice of thumb hole or rear flipper to get it open. Deployment is fast and consistent either way, and the lock up is tight with zero blade play. What sells this knife is how it feels once it's in your hand. The action is genuinely fidget friendly, smooth enough that you'll find yourself opening and closing it just because. The G10 handle scales are textured enough for grip without being harsh in the pocket, and the whole knife carries a level of fit and finish you don't usually see until you're spending two or three times as much. The reversible, deep carry pocket clip is a nice touch too, since it means the knife rides low and out of the way no matter which hand you carry in.
Why it made the cut: this is a knife that punches way above its price. Steel, lockup, action, and looks all land in territory usually reserved for knives at double or triple the cost. At $37 to $42, there isn't a better value folder on the market right now. If you want a knife that feels this good for this little money, this is it.
