Custom Knife Lists
Custom EDC Knives On A Budget – 2021 Edition
Chances are, if you found yourself here, it is because you are like us and cannot help but marvel at the custom EDC knives that just get the job done, every time. Who can blame you? A one of a kind knife from a custom knife maker is a thing of beauty; and sometimes the cost can reflect that. Given these tumultuous times (this thing is almost over, I swear…), living on a tight budget is becoming more common than usual. That certainly doesn’t mean you can’t get the badass, custom EDC knives you have been eyeing, however. Below is a list the Certified Cutters of Things (CCT, real qualification) at BladesWork Unlimited have identified as high quality custom knives for a more affordable price.
We utilized our patented 5-Featured approach to judging these budget custom EDC knives, which you can find explained in here.
EDC
The 1095 custom EDC knife from Norse Dragon Fire & Forge does not need a fancy name, or any of the fanfare that comes with fancy steel. This knife is about as blue collar and tough as it gets, while still letting you choose the paracord color custom knife handle you desire. For $135 you can’t ask for much more in the way of edge retention, duration of hard use, and appropriateness for just about any task you can imagine. We highly recommend you add this cord-slinging EDC to your rotation as soon as possible!
The Lil Havocs is a top seller at BWU, and for good reason. At an affordable price point of $150 and extremely customizable, this lightweight, 6″ blade length custom EDC knife has yet to meet a job it can’t cut through with ease. Coming complete with a custom sheath made from kydex and multiple handle/finish options, this budget custom knife from the custom knife maker at Dunn’s Forge can fit anywhere from the purse to the waist belt. Perfect for all aspects outdoors and hunting due to extraordinary hard use duration and hand feel. Grab yours as soon as possible!
Rasp Tomahawk
Not necessarily in the custom EDC knives category, per se. But who doesn’t think carrying a custom tomahawk is cool? We do. Plus, at priced at $150, this made-to-order custom tomahawk is a tough bladed hand tool to beat.
