I have a 10$ frost cutlery knife ive had for 3 years and it holds a blade great. I dont see why everyone thinks expensive = good quailty

IMO, quality isn't the same as cost. Though, with cost often comes improved features such as suitability to task.

For some years, now, I've had either a Spyderco Delica or Native in my pocket. Exceedingly sharp, light, strong. Far more importantly, it matches the task well. At less than $50, I, too, can't see spending any more in order to get a name and perhaps some features that won't make much difference.

I have a ton of $10 knives including two autos I picked up at the local gun show that are awesome. I'd put any of my $10 knives up against any by Cold Steel, SOG, Benchmade or anything else. I also have two Spyderco Delicas that I picked up at a gun show for about $35 OTD and feel they are just as quality as any folder going for $100+.

Spyderco Endura has been with me for over 10 years and is a solid as the day I got it..

My two Kershaws have never given me problems...and I use one of them daily (the other stays in SD mode)...after 4 years, both are still extremely sharp. They weren't $10 knives, but not that expensive either.

Anything that can cut more than butter when you need it is a good knife regardless of price.

Probably.

I've got some good cheapos that do the trick. Mostly autos that I grabbed on an impulse buy. I usually carry either a Spyderco Native or Kershaw Chive. They weren't too expensive (under $50) and are excellent quality knives. With that being said, I've been eyeballing a Benchmade 3550 auto for some carry duty. Can't ever have enough toys.

I have a bunch of Frost Cutlery knives sitting in a drawer. I have a friend that keeps buying the big sets they advertise on TV somewhere, so he gives me one or two everytime I see him. Quality is all over with these. Some aren't bad, some are so cheaply made that I wouldn't use them to cut cardboard. Even the better ones have questionable strength in the lockup and the frames or lack of a frame that gives them no lateral strength. Good for simple cutting chores but compared to even a cheap Benchmade import, they are flimsy.

Back when I had more money than brains, I purchased three Microtech auto-blades. The two larger 4-inch were $410.00 and the smaller 3-inch was like’ $300 or so. Seem like a good idea at the time. I still have them and they just returned from the factory again after being sharpened. Frankly, I need three knives like I need a hole in the head.
