Sometimes you just need some inexpensive gifts or stocking stuffers. Here’s a list of five knives that you can get for less than $5 to round out your Christmas shopping list.

Nothing makes us merrier than watching Lynn Thompson stab stuff on a Cold Steel video, and the Cold Steel Delta Dart is no exception.  We wanted to know more after watching him stab this slim, triangular dart through about nine layers of cardboard and almost a quarter inch of oak sole leather. Made from corrosion impervious Zy-Ex, the Delta Dart is textured for a slip resistant grip, and the butt is rounded for both the thumb and palm position. It also has a key ring attachment.

  • Lanyard Hole with Ring Attachment
  • 8.125” Overall

There’s a 420J stainless steel fork and partially serrated knife, a dessert spoon, and a refillable salt and pepper shaker.  Not only is it perfect for next season’s hike, it’s lunchbox friendly and makes a fantastic, last minute, budget friendly gift.
