Hi all I'm in the market for a large tactical folder (blade length around 4 inches) and I need some suggestions. I really like the looks of the Sebenza Stingray and the ZT 454. I would like something US made and of quality construction. My budget is a max of $300.

Thank you for the advice.
 
Ditto on the ZT0200. Mine has been in my pocket for nearly a year...because between the tight clip and heavily textured scales, I can't get it out. Just kidding on that last part - out of the box, the clip is tight and the scales are rough; but I fixed both of them before I destroyed a single pocket. I've probably purchased 15 (+/-) quality folders in the time that I've been carrying the 0200; but it's still got the place of honor.
 
I always answer this question by suggesting the Microtech Socom series. You can't go wrong with the Benchmade Presidio lineup either.
 
You could get a Rob Dalton custom for that much.
 
Southern grind bad monkey might just be it. I love hearing about these smaller companies I haven't heard of before. Keep them coming guys
 
No HOOTIN' here however the Buck-TOPS CSAR-T is a beefy folder with Paul Bos heat treated ATS 34 or[I have 154CM]..some might consider lacking finesse however I like it-overbuilt by couple of good outfits.

Best.
 
I would get the bad monkey. Got one recently and the build quality has blown me away. A true 4 inch blade with emerson opener and built like a zt with carbon fiber scales and thick ass titanium liners, made in USA by a kick ass musician. Cant go wrong. If imgur was working I would post some pics to instigate..

I just picked up a Benchmade AFCK with an M-390 blade and an AXIS lock for $265. It can carry R/L, TU/TD. Blade length = 3 7/8". The scales are black and blue laminated G-10. I would send pic, but the IOS 8 queered my ipad and iphone.
 
I just wish Emerson's looked more like those Southern Grind knives. Just a touch better fit and finish would go a long way.
 
I want a Bad Monkey Tanto sooo bad, but have $2000 in CC debt right now...:(
