Looking for several small (2.5" blade) lock back folders as gifts and personal use. Say around $25 or less???

won't find much quality for $25 bucks.
Try the local flea market for a Chinese or Pakistani made knife.

Have several thousand $$ in customs but this is different. How about for $50. Couple years ago a friend recommended a nice little knife but now I can't remember the model, thinkin LBK or LBT.

Try SMKW - Smokey Mountain Knife Works. They have all brands. Amazon.com is another place to shop.
Sonoma Cutlery has the 3" Remington Heritage Series Gentlemen's Pocket Folder lockback for $35 delivered. It is a great little knife in green bone or jigged derlin. My dad had two of them that I had given him when he past. I gave them on to my uncles. Good luck.
For a small lockback folder, I carry a Fallkniven U2 with a laminated steel blade, but it's about $100.
Amazon.com has the Ka Bar Dozier for $15 and free shipping over $25.

The mini Dozier seems like what I am looking for.

Gerber lst, a little smaller than you're looking for, but a decent knife.

Hate to say it but some of the "Rough Rider" brand from China have been pretty decent. Their fit and finish have improved greatly nad their steel is a lot better.

Gerber lst, a little smaller than you're looking for, but a decent knife. +1. ~$22 at the Chinese Embassy (WalMart). * Overall Length: 6.1" * Blade Length: 2.63" * Closed Length: 3.61" * Weight: 1.2 oz. * Lock Mechanism: Lock-back * Blade Style: Drop Point * Blade Material: 420HC Stainless Steel * Blade Type: Fine * Handle Material Glass-filled nylon The ultralight LST is smaller. The Gerber LST is my daily carry. Small enough to be unobtrusive, yet big enough to be functional. I also carry a Leatherman Wave and a Leatherman Micra.

Daveh: When we toured the Buck factory in Post Falls a couple of years ago, our eldest daughter and I each picked up a little Vantage Select for somewhere around $20 each. http://www.buckknives.com/index.cfm?event=product.detail&ProductID=3650Now the select is perhaps a bit larger than you had in mind, with a 2 5/8" 420HC blade and they are liner lockers, not lock backs. I'll note as well that while the Buck website lists them at $33, they seem to be available for closer to $25 at a few sources. That said, they are made in the US and in our experience, a pretty decent overall knife for the money asked. Hopefully that was some use to you. Good luck whichever way you decide. Regards, Dwayne

My first knives when I was a kid were KABAR my father purchased for me at the local Western Auto . When older felt I was too big for them and had to have a fancy Benchmade Folder years back .... when it disappeared from a pocket one day I realized I needed something more disposable for day to day .
Purchased a KABAR DOZIER #4062 two years ago for less than $20 bucks .... still holds an edge and the only wear is the paint on the clip ... may be made overseas but KABAR quality is still there .
By the way buy two and put the 2nd one away , designs , prices and manufacturers don't last nowadays .

At the prices I paid I'll get 2-3 more of the one I like best as your right, things can change or go south quick and your left saying "why didn't I buy more when I could"
