154cm, s30v, d2, vg-10 or similar blade
fast opening
under 5 ounces
drop point plain edged blade
prefer US made
reputable company

BTW, your title says "(greater than) 100$".

How about a Kershaw RAM?

Fast, light, and fun :thumbup:

I always get < and > confused . I'm liking the orange griptilian and the manix 2, which one of those is all around superior in all of your opinions?

 

[KnifeTurtle]

I want a better steel than the ram but apart from that it looks good. Maybe the tyrade with D2 would be good, though it's a bit big.

bm 710 in d2 steel,,,,,,,,,,,

The alligator's mouth eats the bigger (and therefore tastier) number.

The G10 Tyrade is a nice knife, but it is large. The JYD2CB is a bit lighter and slimmer. Both have very solid liner locks.

The steel in the ram us a surgical grade steel not bad at all by any means

I think the G-10 Tyrade is one of the best deals going, but it does not fit your specs very well! It has a liner lock, but of .080" thick hardened stainless steel. The weight is 6.7 ounces so that blows the under 5 ounces out of the water. It does have a CPMD2 cutting edge that comes hair poppin sharp, at least all 6 of mine have come that way, and the liner lock is VERY well done. Not a bad deal in the under $100 range of knives!

What is surgical grade steel? I'm unfamiliar with that term.

 

[Josh K]

I really like the Manix 2 in that price range. :thumbup:

 

[KnifeTurtle]

decided on the orange griptilian, will be great as a back up blade for my camping trip ina few weeks. 70 dollars shipped ani't a bad price either I think I'll pick up a RAM at some point in teh future though.

They are both great, but both very different. Try to handle both and see which you prefer.

Benchmade 710 in D2 steel......Cost about $110, and worth it. (AKA McHenry Williams)

 

[ctk123]

You will love the axis lock on the griptillian and for the price you can't go wrong.

 

[jon159]

Go with a BM griptilian, you can't go wrong with Benchmade.
