Toting my thrifty Imperial jack and sporting a new belt buckle.

These are all about as Thrif-T as they come:

The Mikovs are amazingly still in production. As opposed to having the plastic covers fall off leaving bare metal, they came bare already, and I used adhesive vinyl sheets from the crafts store to add covers:

I think this might be my favorite Thrifty Thursday knife.

Very nice. That sowbelly is a sweet pattern. Also comes in R/R flavor, in many different finishes. I have bought several, each on its own merit, without recognizing it was a pattern I already had.

Thanks! I also have several of the Marble’s, and RR Sowbellies. They are all very well made, and a great value. Lance

It's Friday but I started my workday on Thursday! Love this Joker, especially after some sandpaper and wax. I'd honestly rate this over an Opinel even in terms of value. Edge is just as thin as a no. 6, I think, thanks to the pretty tall blade. This has the additional benefit of a very satisfying snap open, I've attached a (bad) close-up of the "hump" on the tang that accounts for the unique action. I guess you could call it a detent

Inexpensive.....not cheap. Cheap has a connotation of poorly made with substandard materials.

I have that one! I dyed mine red. The backspring on the main on mine is a bit stiff. I have three RR whittlers and, sadly, have found that I have no talent for whittling. But at least they're "thrifty"!

Got this CV SBJ at the Grange in Klamath Falls, Oregon free for purchasing a large amount of supplies back in 2009.

A trio of thrifty RR Whittlers. I think all of these were amber bone originally. Top two are RR106s and the bottom is an RR375. The RR375 has a pen and a coping blade.
