How about knives? In this day of having to have a custom knife made of exotic steel forged by elves , let's hear about some of your trusty old $20 knifes that has served you well in the field.
I could go on but let's hear about your $20 favorites.
In keeping with the OP's question, these Kabar Doziers are a great cut/$ value and have served me well in the field. But they are $0.23 over the price point.
