Folding Knife Advice
Hey,
I'm looking for a good folding knife for light - moderate use, but don't know much about knives and need help. I have an old Boker I use and I have decided to upgrade. Have been researching a bunch online and Spyderco/Benchmade gets the best reviews. I don't know much about knives and need help picking one. Questions: Steel - VG10 vs. S30V/35VM vs. ZDP 189 ??? Blade edge - would like a combo blade but don't see many options for this in Spyderco, and the Benchmade's I liked are backordered. Grip - G10 or something similar is preferable Locking mechanism - don't know much about this Folders I like: Endura - C10FG or C10GRE Para 2 - C81G Native - C41BK Stretch - C90 BK or GRE Manix 2 - C101 G Caly - C144 G Gayle Bradley - C134 CF What do you all think? |

Personally I would go for the Manix but in a full flat grind version, I have the one below.
http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=684 Try and find all the models you have mentioned, just picking them up may help you decide, the way they feel in your hand and see how you get on with disengaging that style of lock. |
