Lowest cost folders I've found that will actually lock-up firmly and won't break (under normal folder use).
The first blade is sold as "5 Inch Closed Cheeta Folding Knife, BF-146." I call it the Cheeta Cruiser because it seems to be based on the CRKT Hammond Cruiser. The Cheeta knife has ABS handle scales rather than Zytel, it is 400 series stainless rather than AUS-6, it has a one position pocket clip instead of four position, and it has a stronger detent. Other than that, the main difference is the $4 price versus $18-28 on the CRKT knife.
The second blade is sold as the "Cheeta Jungle Camo Folder, CH-565CM." It was $6 and came with a camo belt pouch. It opens quickly, locks up solidly, and has an oversized handle. The blade is a combo edge and chisel ground with a tanto tip. Looks like a folding shank, to me.
