For me, it's the first gen, Seki-made SOG MicroToolclip. I found one for under $20 with quite a bit of wear and tear (but a like-new serrated blade, while short, make quick work of all rope), then one day, it came unclipped from my pocket, and disappeared. Never found another for that price.

I second Greg's statement. I limit my search to those tools I can find and purchase at prices I can afford. I've watched literally hundreds of tools sold at auction at prices I can't afford or won't pay.

I've watched literally hundreds of tools sold at auction at prices I can't afford or won't pay.In the past I have sometimes been one of those "enthusiastic" bidders prepared to bid quite high for a tool I really wanted, and "paid the price" (literally) These days I either have most of the tools I want, or I am not prepared to pay the high price needed to secure them (I'm looking at you, original Cabela's catalogue v1 PST with hollow knurled screws and etched main blade ! )
fingers crossed i just bid on my dream tool the pst 2
I had a Crunch and while it was a good tool, prob not worth the price premium it garners..
have been outbid on 6 of them so far, even raised my limit to 35 dollars, but i know my time will be coming soon

I've purchased a couple of Waves from eBay under $30. Somebody on this forum purchased a Kershaw A100 for $15 a while back. Hang in there

Hang in thereMost popular MTs that I've seen sold cheaply is because either the seller put a low B-I-N price on it, or the description is vague/mispelt. But good luck with your search
