mid-high end folding knives

[Leshy]

Very nice , I do like that spidey slysz bowie!
Might have to add it to the collection... Proving quite difficult to convince swmbo that I need more knives though...
Will have to order something for her too at the same time. 😎
Ain't I sweet?!

Diversion tactics or Kansas city shuffle as they say...

Any additional advice on how to appease the opposition is welcome...

- ah.....no!!

What I do, is to break the egg-yolk all over the toast, layer the bacon carefully on top, then layer the eggs over that (broken sunny-side up)..........then chomp through it all in sheer and utter delight..!

You gotta have butter man, I do like the yolk too... But butter is a wonderful product, multi purpose , tons of uses...
I think I'll leave it there...

I love me some bacon and eggs. Best with a pint at the airport I've found!

I am indeed in a spin - I feel I should clarify a bit more!

I don't like, particularly American style hollow ground or tiny bevelled blade.
Scandi or convex for me all the way. I will consider other options. The spyderco knives seem to have a reasonable geometry.

I will look at the Bradley titanium in a while, also EKA and also fallkniven. I like the DC4 after all...

The search continues! This has literally taken up most of my free time for 2 weeks!

- aha!

In which case, I'd go for this fella http://www.heinnie.com/enzo-borka-90 - presuming you do not need the legal 'edc' aspect

Or, this one if you do http://www.heinnie.com/enzo-pk70-micarta-green-scandi

The Borka is a stunner, and mighty comfy in the hand too - probably the best of its type I've handled, pic below...

My wife bought me one of these for our anniversary (on request) and I love it. I love the feel and the look, and the way it snaps open and closes. This video has some footage of it being made at the end

If you have the spare cash and can find one for sale, something from the Shirogorov brothers is a solid choice for a real high end folder. Functionality wise I can recommend something by Mick Strider (I have an smf its brilliant) careful though there are a lot of Chinese clones on the market. That being said I prefer a cheap copy of a medford praetorian to my real medford praetorian (sorry Greg!)

As for the spyderco Bradley again brilliant knives, I have a fixed blade Bradley bowie by them, spyderco and Gale Bradley coming together it was always a recipe for success!

Something less tactitool than most suggested to date:

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. Really appreciated.

Bear in mind, at this price range, if I don't LOVE the colour, I won't get it unless it's Alu or titanium for customizability.

I'll check out those heinnie links, I do like HH, they've sold me cheap, tough kit on 2 occasions. My last EDC I bought from them I lost sadly! A CRKT. Decided to move up in the world.

Still looking...

I just bought the new Benchmade 940-2 G10. I also blame Wranglerstar for this.

It's a bit cheaper than the normal version and the G10 won't scratch as easy as the aluminium one.

I'm curious if it's as nice as everyone says it is.

Good luck!!!

CNC has a lot to answer for! But hey, knives are like music and with plenty opportunity for jokes about living on the edge.

I'm certain the Op will find what floats his canoe.

you've just reminded me that I have one of these tucked away somewhere and your description is so compelling I feel the need to give it a second chance! 😄

I recall that when I purchased it I was unhappy with the position of the back lock which I felt would make your hand sore with prolonged use. Also, the thumb stub was so close to the pivot that I couldn't open the blade with it. Anyhow, I figure it deserves a second chance as the fit and finish is superb.

 

[mick91]

Benchmade are genuinely good but those BB locks are crapola mind. Had more than one fail

The Alu version is £155 on heinnie and the carbon fibre is £250? You're not talking about the one with S60V steel are you?
I totally blame wranglerstar for my fixation on this damn knife. I'm ready to pull the trigger.



Mick, I've not heard anything but praise for the benchmade lock mechanism, is that the one you're talking about? Care to share?


I lot of these knives a gorgeous but around £100 out of price range.
I guess I should rename the thread mi-range eye candy folder lol.

Those lionsteel knives... My word. I might have to.....

The fallkniven is amazing but just that bit too expensive!

The Benchmade 940-2 is a new model, it's like the normal Alu version but with a black G10 handle.
I think there made in batches and they are hard to get at the moment.
They should be about £10 cheaper than the normal version.

I just received mine from the states. At first glance the G10 looks a bit cheap and smooth but it doesn't feel "slippery" in your hands.
If you don't mind the "Boba Fett look" after some years, I think I would prefer the green aluminium version.
The price at Hennie's is very reasonable compared to the £200 in my country.
