If you're looking for an EDC knife but you're on a budget, all too often that means having to accept some compromises. That's why budget knives tend to skimp on blade steel and materials. Premium materials and thoughtful design cost a pretty penny, after all. Kizer's a knife manufacturer known for overdelivering performance at competitive pricepoints, but their Aileon is especially impressive. It's a full-sized folding knife with quality blade steel and a titanium handle for under 50 dollars.

It's frankly amazing that this budget knife features a 3.5" hollow-ground CPM-S35VN blade. It has a modified clip point with a pronounced curve that makes it great for both slicing and piercing. Deployment of the blade is easy with prominent ambidextrous thumbstuds. The blade also has an attractive stonewash finish that matches the gorgeous titanium handle. That titanium composition makes for a solid and reliable frame lock. The clip on the knife is titanium, and it's set up for right-handed tip-up or down carry.

You rarely see such a capable and beautiful everyday carry knife with materials like this at this price. If you're in the market for a new EDC knife, or are looking to gift one this holiday season, the Kizer Aileon is perfect. Pick one up now at the link below.
