Question Knifes - Recommendations?

I need a new knife. My old one has finally died.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Im looking for a general all purpose knife, probably a folding pocket knife, not one that has 40352 uses, just a knife.

Suggestions requested....

Dood,

Let's move your thread to the Edged Weapons forum where it belongs. Roger?

My favorite folders are the Chris Reeve Sebenza and the Lone Wolf Harsey Tactical Folder.

Those are high end knives and will cost some serious coin.

On a mid-price range, Strider and Emerson make some great products.

In the budget line, I have had good luck with the Benchmade folders with the Axis locks.

Try to figure out what you need to do with the knife, and pick the price and proper size range.

Then handle all of the ones you are considering.

A knife is too important a tool to spend over a hundred dollars on one which does not do what you bought it for or that you don't really like.

I am sure that our resident knife expert will be along shortly to give you some great advice.

Good luck!

Speak of the Devil....

Mr. Harsey, comments? What do YOU look for in a folder for a working man?
