Any S30V/Titanium blades with good locking mechanism ?

[androgen]

ok so this girl said she likes knives ... so i bought her SOG Vision SV68, she likes it.

but i hear that S30V steel is better than ATS34 steel ... but i really like the stylish slim profile looks of the titanium handle and SOG's arc lock also seems pretty nice.

is there something like the SV68 but with S30V steel ? there seem to be plenty of knives with S30V blade and Titanium handle but no mentioning of their openign/locking mechanism which is think is pretty damn important lol

ps: i also think a knife shouldnt cost more than $200 because i am not looking for anything custom or hand-made, just excellent performance and style.

ideas pliz !

what about Camillus CUDA Dominator ?

i kinda like angular shape more than curved one ... it just looks more high tech.

Yep first thing that came to my mind was the BM Skirmish

androgen, welcome to Bladeforums!

Relax. ATS-34 is excellent steel. Lots of people here like that series of SOG knives. S30V is the latest and greatest, but there are many high-end steels, and the real differences among them can be ignored in favor of the heat treatment, blade and edge geometry, handle and lock requirements, and your own pleasure in the knife as a whole.

thanx

hm ... why does everybody like benchmade so much ? i dont like the styling at all

is that CUDA Dominator not a good product ?

 

[GarageBoy]

The CUDA is a VERY nice product. Relax, as long as it's not 420J2, it's not bad.

 

[androgen]

no i was talking about C2467 or C2477 ?

 

[Shmackey]

No. You gotta pay to play, spammy.

*puts on wig*

I like knives.

*bats eyelashes*

Seriously, don't worry about the steels. Something as 'lowly' as AUS8 will do fine with proper heat treat. Plus, who's going to do the resharpening, and what is their level of proficiency?

 

[androgen]

most likely nobody will do the resharpening

ps: lets add carbon fiber handles to the list of considerations and maybe upp the cost limit to $250 or so.

but no wood or plastic anywhere, only carbon fiber and metal plizz.

First knife that comes to mind is the limited edition 940/941 Osborne from Benchmade. Titanium handle, S30V blade, Osborne design, and also the AXIS-lock.

They are hard to find, and are expensive when you can find them, but I think they'd be worth it.
