Welcome to Blades On A Budget, y'all! I'm Flipper Fred, and I've been head over heels for pocket knives since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. Growing up in the South, I always had a trusty blade in my pocket, ready for whatever adventure came my way.

Now in my early 50s, that boyhood fascination has blossomed into a full-blown passion for all things EDC – from knives to flashlights, pens, and everything in between.

Here at Blades On A Budget, we're all about finding quality gear that won't break the bank. I reckon everyone deserves to have reliable tools without emptying their wallet, so I've made it my mission to scour the market for the best bang-for-your-buck options out there.

Through honest reviews, articles, and videos, I aim to share my experiences and help you make informed decisions about your everyday carry.

Now, I may have a few decades of experience under my belt, but I'm just a regular fella who loves trying out new gadgets and gizmos. Whether I'm testing the latest budget-friendly knife or putting a new flashlight through its paces, I promise to give you the straight scoop – no fancy words or beating around the bush.

So grab a sweet tea, pull up a chair, and join me on this adventure. Together, we'll explore the world of affordable EDC gear and maybe learn a thing or two along the way!
