best larger folder under 40, include pics

[spydercomil]

So whats your favorite large forlder under 40. By large i mean above 3- 3.25 inches.

 

[Dorito Monk]

Kershaw Cyclone 1630, hands down.

They're discontinued so you can find them around 30-35$. 13c26 blade, assisted (or not; there's an on-off switch). One hell of a knife for that money.

Spyderco Tenacious. Did everything I asked from it. Unfortunately I can't put pics right now

I gotta be "one of those" here and say... an extra 20 bucks and a CS Recon 1.

I've never been good at following rules. Atleast I didn't say Sebenza.

The middle two are the Tenacious. An extra $5 or so above that $40 gets you the Resilience, top.

I don't have one yet but the Ontario Model 1 (aka RAT 1) seems to have a pretty decent reputation. They are apparently popular with the troops oversees (I cannot cite this for accuracy)...they probably sell them at the PX I suppose. MSRP about $45 and regularly available from Internet knife stores for under $30. AUS-6 Steel which is a pretty decent, if not glamorous, stainless. It's a linerlock.

I plan on getting my stepson one for Christmas. He's not a knife guy but appreciates and cares for his tools and he recently got a house and he putters around the property a lot and having a strong folding knife will be handy.

If you go up to $60, then you're talking Spyderco Endura for sure. VG-10 is very good steel that is stainless and scary sharp and easy to maintain. The Endura is a back lock.

The humble Buck 110....

Buck 110 for me also, followed by the Buck Vantage if I want a pocket clip.

Was it hard to regrind this recon to this shape?

KaBar Dozier Large Folding Hunter.

Lotta tank for the buck.

Not at all.. just a steady hand and some course stones should do it quickly.

 

[Modoc ED]

I vote for the Buck 110 too.

Add the CRKT M21/14 series.... with reservations

I have used it extensively and I love the auto-lawks feature, but the video nutnfancy put out with the lock failure kind of unnerved me.

CRKT is just one of those companies that I really want to like, but there is always something that kind of irks me (thin liner locks, poor blade materials, etc)

Improper batonning technique made that lock "fail."

I don't doubt you.

but my batonning technique may be imperfect sometimes so I would feel more comfortable with a more reputable lock, in the unlikely situation I would be batoning with a folder

but your point stands, for usual tasks this knife should be excellent at price point

 

[marcinek]

BTW res1cue...I'm with you on the "wanting to like" CRKT....but you are right, it's "always something" with their stuff.

Just picked one up for $29.00. I agree one heck of a knife for the price.
