I know you said you weren't a big fan of Kershaws, but have you taken a look at the Knockout? I just picked one up and I absolutely love it. Sent from my SCH-R950 using Tapatalk 2
My current flipper (can't see the flipper in this photo though) Thinking about taking the thumb stud off as I never use it....
Check out the Buck Vantage line. I'm really digging this Vantage Avid Small. American Made S30V steel with the Bos heat treat... It's a sweet little knife.
Totally agree, which is why I own a few (see page 3 of this thread for two of em). They're good knives. Seem to have a bad reputation, and were plagued by some quality control issues a few years back, but I've bought a half dozen Vantage blades over the last year or so and only one came with an off-center blade.
I 2nd this. Even though I've never owned one (and probably never will) it is without a doubt the best looking folding knife I have ever seen, and I've heard nothing but good things about the quality of Ray's work.
