Here's a new one.
I picked up a Buck 560, which is a Buck 110 with fingergrooved titanium handles. The handles reduce the weight of the knife greatly, and provide an absolutely extraordinary grip. The cost was $55.00. I also picked up a "one armed bandit" for it, which adds a thumb stud to the buck. The bandit was $5.00. Buck told me that they'd upgrade the blade to BG-42 for $30.00!!!
So I get very ergonomic, titanium handles, one hand opening, rock solid locked, BG-42 blade steeled, large folding knife for a grand total of $90.00!!!!
I call it the BuckBenza.
It's true that the Sebenza will open smoother than a BuckBenza, a Seb has a pocket clip, and can be taken apart for cleaning. But for $90.00, the BuckBenza is an absolute steel!!! Err.... I mean Steal!!!!
