The Best Budget EDC Knife I've Tried This Year? | Miguron Calora!
Published: 3 hours ago
???? Welcome to JuhVon's Knife Flicks, your go to spot for honest knife reviews, EDC picks, and budget blade finds from a guy who actually carries and uses this stuff!
The Miguron Calora might just be the most innovative budget knife I've handled this year.
With premium materials, outstanding blade geometry, multiple deployment methods, and one of my favorite locking mechanisms, it's hard to believe this knife sells for under $65.
Don't let the flashy finish fool you, either. The Calora is available in several color options, including a stealthy black version, but every model features the same impressive design and cutting performance.
In this review, I cover:
19C27 Swedish stainless blade steel
Heat treat discussion (63.2 HRC tested)
Aluminum lacquer-finish handles
Top button-actuated liner lock
Front flipper, rear flipper & thumb studs
Cutting performance
Pocket carry
Measurements
Blade geometry
Overall value

One of the things I appreciate most about this knife is that it doesn't just copy what's already on the market. Miguron blended multiple deployment options, excellent ergonomics, and premium machining into a budget-friendly package that punches well above its price.
Would you choose the bold lacquer finish or one of the more understated color options?
