Thread: Folding knives

https://www.dlttrading.com/cold-stee...int-plain-edge

Personally I am a bit of a fan of knives of alaska. Have 5 of their fixed blade knives of various design but not used any of the folders. Blade master has them as well.

Best damn folder I ever had was one of these:

https://bootsandgear.com/index.php?r...product_id=206

But its now on the bottom of tasman Bay somewhere. The action was real nice, it was took (and held) a really good edge and was easy to touch up, shape was good for skinning, boning, and edc tasks. Doesn't fit your prerequisites as it's not a true one hand opening knife although I could open one handed in a pinch

This is the one I use..knew it was boots and something..

I've got 36 tabs open.

I do recall the two reasons I switched to a sheath knife were not being able to get it out of my pocket one handed while lying down and that I lost the folders repeatedly.

If getting in and out of vehicle, pocket clips suck.... but having it loose in your pocket wears the fabric out leading to it holes in pockets and lost knives....

Been scouring for a victorinox rangergrip 58. For some reason they're hard to come by as nobody has them in stock over here. Has a decent blade, saw and hooky thing plus the usual crap you only need to pull out round the campfire. Oh look, a can that needs opening!

I think it's the type of trousers I have. Never lost knives before. The belt clip was good till it got stretched somehow.

Daily pocket clip use is pretty hard on the fabric...

I only do lock back folders...

Ka-bar Dozier is my EDC

Top end : can't go wrong with Benchmade Bugout

if you want a Cold Steel I'd jump in now as they have just been bought out by Gerber

Good tip. Cold Steel is what I have lined up. Going for a couple or cheaper ones instead of losing one fancy one. Genuinely surprised you can spend $800 on a pocket knife.

Wife's getting this for Christmas

Thats nothing, you can spend upwards of USD3k if you so desire.

Most expensive ones I have for sale are $1075 and the ADV cleavers were over 1800.
Customs are even more expensive!

That little boker looks like a nice slicer

Excellent warranty too and they are cheap as chips.

I think someone had one up for sale in here a little while back?

What do these look like?

From top to bottom
Hornet
Beluga
Spike
Beluga

The hornet is quite bulky but a good slicer - the Spike has a 95mm blade and fits really nicely in the hand.
Beluga is a smaller size folder compared to the others.

All are D2 steel, ceramic ball bearings and G10 handles and all of them come with a lifetime warranty against normal defects excl wear and tear (its not a prybar )
