First, let's define the concept of a budget knife. I agree that everyone has different financial capabilities, as well as willingness to spend a certain amount of money on their hobby. And for some, 2000 for a knife is “what a waste of money!”, but for others, 60 thousand is a completely acceptable amount for F95 from MBS, for example.
A budget knife, in my understanding, is a knife that you can afford to buy without going into extreme debt, with one or two salaries, without killing the family budget. Therefore, we classify budget knives as those that cost up to 5,000 plus or minus a bast shoe.
