Best/ Favorite high end production or midtech

[clearkevin]

What would you suggest as a top five, top three, or even number one? I'll suggest the Southard Tolk, Hinderer XM 18 or 24, Olamic Wayfarer 247, Brous t4 just to get things started.

These are some of my favorites, but the MP-1 I just got blew them away IMO, really smooth flipper and great fit and finish my new favorite EDC

Man, this one is easy!

Hands down, a large CRK Insingo (can't ever seem to get it out of my pocket)
A close 2nd:
A Strider SMF (Lego) in CPM154.

Man that thing is perfect. Do you have a sebenza 21 to compare it to? I'll throw in another crk vote. I love mine more every time I carry it.

Easy for me too. My Strider SNG and my Chris Reeves knives. Sold my Hinderer Xm-18 but the sebenzas and sng will never go!!!

Thanks! and I do not :/

I was thinking about getting one while this one was on the way but after carrying this for a few weeks, I probably wouldn't carry it (or pretty much anything) over this one Its going to be really difficult for anything else to take place over this one

Besides the obvious ergonomic differences in the handle, From what I understand they're pretty much the same size. But the Inkosi has a .14" thick blade over the 21's .125" and also has over sized washers. I have not had the pleasure of handling a 21 but I'm guessing the 21 has a much faster action. This one dose not fly out effortlessly with the flick of the thumb. That said it is by far the most solid lockup I have ever felt in any knife I have ever held. It feels like a fixed blade and only weights 4oz. Perfect for the abuse I put my knives through.

I love thread like this, you end up seeing a lot of nice knives
that have actually been used.

Exactly the same as me mate. Sold my hinderers but the striders and crk remain.

I have a lot of midtechs and a reasonable number of customs, but this knife is by far my favorite to carry and actually use (cell phone photo here, pictured with two of my other loves, my Walther PPS and my Winter Session wallet):

The Southard Tolk is not the prettiest midtech I own, in fact it may be the most utilitarian looking of the bunch. From some angles it's actually on the ugly side, even. Despite that downside, it's an incredible worker. It's surprisingly light, flips like a rocket, and has a blade shape that has just enough belly to make it work for just about every way I like to cut.

I love the Tolk. Pretty or not, it's a fantastic knife.
