A Modern Gentlemen's Knife that doesn't break the bank?

Mcusta is a good place to start.

Have a look at Fallkniven folders. Great classic lines, phenomenal steels( 3G & Lam Co ) with excellent edge holding, very pocketable. Custom quality in a production folder. My favorite at the moment is the GP model. Good luck with your search.

Yep. +1 on the Fallkniven GP.

MCusta......a perfect modern day Gentleman's Knife......thin, choice of handle materials, VG10 Laminated, Seki City Made, liner lock or frame lock and 3.75 " OAL to 4.25" OAL with prices ranging from $94 - $108 and higher......


Here's an example 4.37", Damascus and VG 10 composite steel at $105

This is what I was gonna say

No Spyderco's. I don't really care for the spydie hole.

My fingers are in my ears and I can't hear you!!!

Seriously, have a look at AG Russell. Quite a few there that might float your boat. I searched for Gentleman's Knife, and found several possibilities.

Went ahead and spent the extra coin on a 485.

Quite a bit more coin, I suspect, than you originally posted. Hopefully you got the M390 version----that looks to be an excellent choice.

I have the Mcusta Nami and it is a two-handed opener for me. The framelock is just too difficult to open. their liner locks are workable, but the framelock is a bear to open. ...Just a heads-up.
