Thread: After a new Folder

As title, I'm looking at a new folding knife, had a couple or Kershaws [untill lost]and they were good, and I have had a Schrade hunting knife for years that untill I bought a svord, was my mainstay and still is a very good knife.
I don't want the latest taticool piece, just a reliable folder, currently looking at Schrade or another Kershaw.
Any opinions on these two as compared.
Cheers.

I have a Buck folding knife it has a 9cm blade it stays nice and sharp. I think they are around $60 im not sure now.

Thanks toby i have a small buck skinner that performs well , I shall have a look at them.

Yeah, Liking the Kershaws at the moment too. The Kershaw Junkyard Dog II is my go to folder. And a Kershaw Skyline when i don't want to scare the natives Can get them super sharp. Well built knives.

Mercator?
I also have a Buck Folder that keeps a fairly good edge and is a lot tighter in the action than my equivalent Gerber.

Yep. So long as it's a real one.

+1 i dress out and skin with it

Cheers Neckshot, that is good to know.

iv had few tonight

I have been using a SOGzilla for around 6 months around the farm , fishing and hunting and I really rate the steel and the shape of the blade,cost around $70 used it last night to skin a red hind and bone out the quarters , acouple of swipes on the steel and its shaving again.

Please excuse the hijack but didn't want to start a new thread for one question but can anyone tell me if these knives (Gerber Applegate) are legal to own in New Zealand?

Cant see why it would be.

Governments have a propensity for banning things that "look evil" and as I couldn't find any on Trade Me, I thought I'd ask just to be sure.

I could be wrong but think there is some sort of ruling on having a cutting edge on both sides of the blade.

Last time I heard of knives being illegal it was for:
- Double edge knife blade
- Push button that uses a spring to push the blade "straight out" from the handle, springs that assist to unfold the knife were fine.
