Looking for a knife

I know nothing about them.

Looking for something that style (the flip out type).

Something with a 3" or shorter blade.

Just for general use, etc.

EDIT: would like to spend under $25, idk if thats too cheap

$25 won't get you a knife with any worthwhile steel. $50 you can get a nice kershaw blur from Walmart. About 30 might get you about a 2.5" Gerber.
 
If you want a multi use knife, I'd get a Swiss Army, or some other kind that has more that a blade. I'd expect to pay $50 or more for any knife worth owning.
 
Kershaw and Gerber make decent blades. Agreed you need to spend more than 25 bucks.
And Ka-bar is still the best.
Actually, a small Kershaw for 30 dollars is probably just fine for general use. Go to Walmart.
 
Unless it comes with a Stance of Dominance, a knife isn't going to help you in confrontations at Walmart in the night.

Obviously not...duh.

Keep in mind...the op and 5 of his friends were scared by 2 folks armed only with a baseball bat and beer bottle...having a knife in his hand is only gonna get him killed quicker.

For some folks, flight is the only appropriate response to threats.

You really have to know your stuff to take a knife to a gunfight...and be the only one left standing when it's over.
 
I know people will disagree:

The $1 knives at Walmart. They're actually decent. The design is pretty good, though it is made of crappy steel.

However, for $25 you can get 25 knives.

The one I bought for my g/f lasted a full summer of constant use (we worked at a boy scout camp) and then some. She still has that one and brings it camping.

I handed them out to the boys who completed their Toten Chit under my instruction. As far as I know, only 1 has broken.

EDIT: I personally carry a BenchMade with me everywhere I can.

If you want cheap, Opinel. I've never tried their stainless steel versions, since cheap stainless usually isn't very good, but their high carbon steel knives are decent.
