Pocket knives aren’t just fancy everyday carry accessories—they’re incredibly 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 check out Amazon’s deals on pocket knives. The past month has been full of discounts on some of Kershaw and even Gerber’s best-selling models, but now one of Smith & Wesson’s best-selling models has been slashed and is now cheaper than lunch.
The Smith & Wesson SW1101 Stainless Steel Folding Knife is on sale for just $12 at Amazon, 51% off its regular price of $25. This sturdy, sharp folding knife is one of the top 10 best-selling tactical knives on Amazon, and reviewers love its versatility: One customer even called it “the perfect tool for everything from hunting to camping to surviving the zombie apocalypse.”

Others rave about this knife's quality construction. “I love this knife,” exclaimed one customer. “I've had it for years…probably the best knife I've ever owned! No screws are loose and neither is the pocket clip. The clip is still very tight and difficult to remove from a pocket.”
