Recommendation? Big thumbstud liner lock

[BigKurtHaze]

Normally I don't recommend Benchmade, but for your parameters, minus the liner lock;

Crooked River
Adamas
Contego

My first thought was a Benchmade Vicar. If thumbstud and liner lock were boxes I was looking to check I’d own one. Seems like they’ve been discontinued a good while, but I think a few dealers have it in stock still.

I've bought and sold on knifeswap a number of times and it's a great little community. Very happy with my experiences there.

I, too, recommend knife swap, very good community.
Regarding the knife, there is one available but a bit higher the price ladder, currently at 275.

Check out the Real steel h6 blue sheep. 3.75 sandvik steel, liner lock. Not aggressive g10. Nice thumbstuds. Beefy blade stock. Smooth action and its well in your price range.
