Hey all.
So I'm sure it's fairly common for people to ask questions about pocket knives but here we go.
I'm looking for a knife I can carry every day.
1)Blade should be between 3-4 inches.
2)I prefer tanto style blade.
3)Partial serrations are nice, but not a must.
4)Can't stand liner locks. I just don't trust 'em, unfounded though that may be.
5)One handed opening and closing is a must.
6) looking to spend $60-80
My top contenders are Cold Steel's Recon folder, and Benchmade's 553 Griptillian.
I think I like the idea of the Benchmade better. The company has a better rep, made in the USA, and it looks like it would be a little smoother.
On the other hand, I don't want to discount any good options.
So can you think of other comparable blades in that price range?
BTW- Before anyone even says it, no Spyderco please. I know people like their knives. They just look very awkward to me and I can't get past the appearance. Too...ungainly.
