Anything better than a Morakniv for $9.99? Victorinox paring knife, Dexter Russel filet and boning knives… some really good tools for small $$.

The Last two are what pros use.
Won't see a lot of $300 Pride of Ownership knives in a butcher shop or kitchen.
I use a Kai flexible bones. Wife even likes it. A little more maybe, but $20?

If they feature something affordable and plentiful in a movie or video or book, it'll become a fad and get to be trendy and popular with the yuppie crowd, then become scarce and expensive. I have several different kinds of the old Normark and Garcia knives that were relatively cheap back then when I bought them. The mora type plastic handle and plastic sheath knives in the Normark packaging were about $5.00 The Opinels were dirt cheap too. The $5 00 dollar ones are around $14.00 now

Most all of the wally world stores around here have a "mora" lookalike in the fishing section as a bait knife They're like $4.00, and you can hit em a couple of times on a steel and they're razor sharp I bought a half a dozen or so for JIC stash here and there knives, but I haven't used one extensively. The chinee folders at the gun counter are also about $4.00 and I have a couple I've used outside for working in the yard knives. They sharpen up with a couple of whacks on a steel or ceramic rod and hold up pretty good. But. . . they're all liner locks (yuk)

I like the Pendleton Lite Hunter from Cold Steel as well as any cheap knife, but their Canadian Belt Knife isn't a poor choice either if you like that style of knife.
For under $100 you can get a wide vaiety of well designed knives from Buck or even a custom knife, like the Landi Bushcraft Junior, from Collectorknives.net.

I use the Pendelton Lite hunter CMP 3v as a necker. All I needed to clean out my last deer. Good knife. Small and stays sharp. George

I'm a big fan of Browning fixed blade knives: they're well made and hold up well in the field. But the sheathes are a little cheezy so I replace them with custom leather from a source I located through eBay.

I prefer the Cold Steel Roach Belly over the Morakniv.

I prefer the Cold Steel Roach Belly over the Morakniv. Yep. Me too. Hell of a knife for the $$$ https://www.bladehq.com/item--Cold-Steel-Roach-Belly-Fixed-Blade--10139I’m sure you can find them cheaper on Amazon.

Am I the only one who considers a Spyderco Delica a cheap knife?

Most of my knives were bought "used" on www.bladeforums.com classifieds. Some really nice knives for less than retail, including a custom made by Seth Borries of Southern Longbeard Knives, pre-owned but never used, for half of it's retail price.

I have some Schrade stuff, and it has been great. Tough durable and fairly priced. That said, some of their products are not well made. Read some reviews here, and if it fits your needs and is well-reviewed, their stuff will likely serve you well.

I've been quite happy with the Ratt 1 by Ontario. I bought the D2 tool steel version. The D2 tool steel knives start around $45, so I don't know if that would qualify as a cheap knife.

For a cheaper drop point hunting knife I currently use the two sizes of Bucklite Max II. The large has a 4 in blade, the small a 3 1/4 in blade. They are drop Points in 420 HC steel. I have some original ones with orange handles too.
I like Mora Knives and some of the economy Cold Steel also, especially the Pendleton Lite Hunter that others have mentioned.

As far as cheap knives, is there anything better than those suggested? Probably not. If the question is there a better cutting tool(knife) than those listed, yes;very many, yes.
