What kind of knife is that in the middle of your keychain?
The three choices I would consider in recent production folders that just came out, ranging from about $150 to $200 for these. For me, of these three, for a hard use knife I'd favor the Benchmade.
* The new Benchmade Adamas 275. A tough Shane Sibbert design, 3.82" D2 blade that is 0.160" thick, VERY beefy!
* The new Zero Tolerance/Hinderer collab (based on the Hindered XM18), there's a ZT 561, and a 551. Made with the Elmax super steel, about 3.5" or 3.75" long, depending on model.
* The new(ish) Hogue EX01 folders. These are Elishewitz designs, come in 3.5" and 4" blades, 154cm, super-strong locking mechanism and wonderful high-quality micarta or G10 scales.
I've got one I'm probably going to get rid of. It's actually TOO beefy for me. It's a Beretta Harsey linerlock folder. The thing is a moose. It has a 4.25" S30V blade with G10 scales and is 9.50" OAL with a weight of 6.5 ounces. I think it's out of production at this point.
