Pocket knives aren't just cool everyday carry accessories—they're immensely useful for hundreds of applications. The best part is that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get a good one, at least not if you shop Amazon's deals on pocket knives. Last month was filled with discounts on some of the best models from Kershaw and even Gerber, but now, one of the top-selling styles from Smith & Wesson just dropped in price, and it's less than the cost of lunch.

The Smith & Wesson SW1101 Stainless Steel Folding Knife is on sale on Amazon for just $12, a hefty 51% markdown on its normal price of $25. This sturdy and sharp folding blade is one of the top 10 bestselling tactical knives on Amazon, and reviewers love its versatility: One shopper even called it “the perfect tool for everything from hunting and camping to surviving a zombie apocalypse.”

When you need a well-built, reliable knife, you can count on Smith & Wesson to deliver. Measuring just 6.89 inches and weighing 4.4 ounces, it’s compact and easy to carry, and a built-in lanyard hole and pocket clip allow you to attach it to a pack or stow on a belt. The rubberized and textured aluminum handle helps you get a firm grip, and it conceals the stout three-inch stainless steel blade that’s coated in black oxide for superior durability. The blade features ambidextrous thumb knobs for fast deployment whether you’re left- or right-handed, and a liner lock keeps the blade steady when in use.

Shoppers who use this pocket knife say it's one of the best values you'll find. “This is a nice quality everyday carry (EDC) knife,” one shopper said. “It is well-made and the blade is perfectly centered in the frame.” Another shopper agreed, calling it an “all-around great knife, especially for the price.”
