Ok so i want another new knife, who knew right? So I have been looking around and I just cant decide. There are so many choices. So I figured I'd let my friends here help me decide. I like most patterns. Nothing smaller then 3 1/2. No more then 3 blades. Carbon steel preferred, though I'll take stainless if it is a bit better steel. And please, no sunfish, or toenails, etc. So lets hear it, what ya'll got? BTW, I need to keep it UNDER 50 dollars. Danged stipulations by a cheap student...

I am quite partial to this one. Case Large stockman in CV. This model is the bonestag 6.5 model.
It has become one of my favorites. Takes a very sharp edge, virtually no blade play, good snap. Good and big and fits my large hands well.
Was about fifty three bucks shipped if I remember right.

You can find any number of nice Bulldogs or Fight'n Roosters in that price range if you look around...

No question! Get a medium stockman, or trapper, or mini trapper from Case's new CV line of chestnut bone handled knives.

Why not get a CASE Slimline Trapper or Queen Cut Utility knife? The latter can come in under the 50 bar.

Queen has 3 canoes in their QCCC line which are under $50 and are very beautiful. They are the Crimson Bone, Red Bone, and Amber Worm Groove. All 3 can be seen here... http://www.collectorknives.net/queen-knives.html

I second that choice, that is one of my favorite patterns, it just feels good in the pocket and in the hand.

I'm having a dilemma too. Here's what I'm in between:
Queen Amber Bone Whittler
Queen Amber Bone Gunstock
GEC Barlow
Case Swayback Jack
Of course, if my Sebenza sells, I may just end up getting all or most of them! I feel so greedy

Here's a large stockman in CV steel, well within your price range.

I just ordered a large CV Stockman today, I really love my SS model but I think CV is the best. I am pretty excited about it, so excited about it that I got 2nd day air shipping.
hey bill i gotta say nice choice. gotta say though that i hate that medium. the turkish clip? point is fugly IMHO. the others though i can did. got me a nice trapper as is, and the canoe is only nice if it has a killer swedge and long pulls. now if i could find that i would buy that in a heart beat. nice copperhead though. i enjoy that one alot.

I would have mentioned the 3 1/5" Case Swayback Jack but it didn't meet your size requirement. That said, it would be a dandy EDC regardless of whether you chose SS or CV. Every one of them that I have handled work well and have very nice FnF.

I had the Queen amber bone gunstock for awhile. It was beautiful and solid as hell with strong springs. I traded it (to SunnyD, if I recall) because I just wasn't carrying it much; It is heavy and the square bolsters do not make for comfortable pocket carry, unless you wear heavy jeans all the time or carpenter pants.
