I'm looking for a new folding knife. I do not know much about knives, so I am asking for your help.
I would carry the knife around all of the time for utility and a little protection. I am brutal on my knives. Many of my previous knives now have very wobbely locks. This may just be because they were on the cheap side, but I still abuse my knives. I would like a knife that will last me a long time, with an especially strong lock and a good blade (I have read a few posts on this web site which say 440 stainless steal is weak).
I am also an avid camper. Thus, I would like a lighter knife (around 3 oz). i will use it mostly cutting ropes, small branches, etc.
I have several other small preferences. I like serrated blades. A 3-31/2 in blade would be ideal. A spring assisted blade would be nice. A pocket clip is a must-have.
For the knife, I am looking to spend in the 50 dollar range, 75 max.
Thanks A Lot
