Greetings all,
I am seeking a replacement pocket knife for the Buck Redpoint 750 that I've carried the past 5-or-so years.
What I LIKE about this knife is:
1. Rubbery Grip
2. Double-locking (Locks open AND closed - I really almost "need" this)
3. Partially Serrated Edge (love having that versatility in my pocket every-day)
4. Easy "flip-open" wheel action (or whatever Buck calls it)
5. Cost only about $35 ... would "like" to stay under $50.
What I do NOT like:
1. Short blade (only 2 & 3/4" -- I would prefer a 3" blade)
2. 420HC steel (I think would prefer something in the 440 class or "better").
Any advice/ideas/suggestions/etc. greatly appreciated (ESPECIALLY pointing me to direct competitors of this particular Buck)!
Best,
Glenn
