Big 5 is a chain of sporting goods stores in the Western US. They have some UL-useful items now and then– headlamps and knives, some close-out trail runners and such.
This week they have the Kershaw Hawk pocket knife for $15 and change. It's not a bad little knife. I wanted something really pocket-able, so I removed the pocket clip. 1.8oz/50g, 3-1/8" stainless blade, G10 handles, liner lock, lanyard hole, pocket clip. The long thin hollow-ground blade profile is an excellent one for food prep, much like an Opinel.
I did modify the handle a bit by scooping out the handle a bit with a Dremel tool so I can use the thumb stud easier—- the right angle edge on the stock knife doesn't leave enough room to get your thumb behind the stud.
