What kind of folder are you looking for?
Tim Britton makes some really nice lockbacks in that price range and he uses BG42.
Alex Shunnarah now makes those under his ARS line (Attack Rescue Survive). I got mine from ebay, one of the smaller sized ones. Only available as a recurve leaf-shaped blade though. But yes, the Mercworx folders were identical.Merc Worx made some folders in BG42. One just went in the exchange for a good bit under $300. I don't think they make folders any more though.
