Have you looked into a modern slip joint? LionSteel, Fox, Viper, and MKM are out of Italy. Maybe something like this?

Part of the problem we have is knowing what is available and legal in Spain/Europe. I would *guess* a slip joint with blade under 3 inches is legal in most places but check your laws of course.

Or do you want a locking knife?

Is there a retailer over there that sells Manly knives? I think they are out of Bulgaria. They had US distribution at one time, but not sure what happened to them. They made a nice folder for the money IIRC.

Between this modern slipjoints the bexar is the one i like the most.

I know you wanted to keep comments limited to your three choices; but have you considered the (Tactile) Rockwall? It is not as far a jump from the other two as the Bezar - as it has thumbstuds, clip, and (liner)lock.

ive consider ir but its closer to the sebenza in terms of pricing and i think i like the sebenza more aesthetically.
 
Closer, yes...but you could almost add the Bezar for the cost of the sebenza, so it isn't quite what I'd call close;)
 
Hogue deka is very similar to the bugout.
I think it's better made, my friend has a bugout and it rattles with movement.
The deka is silent and smooth.

I would go with the Magnacut version myself. The 20cv is nice with G10 handles. Hogue is putting out some great things. My Ritter is pretty beefy for the money.

Honestly the OP should look at the Ritter Mini too. That would be a good city EDC
 
Checkout Manly knives -- they're made in Bulgaria, top quality, lots of options and likely a lot less expensive than US-made knives.

Do your homework.
Bugout 7.46”
Spartan 3.25 7.125”

True enough I only looked at blade length...
For what it's worth, if the Spartan was a knife he'd have considered, I'd probably have seconded your suggestion. Feel better?
 
Im gonna stay with either the sebenza or the bexar. Is a knife like the bexar as capable as a locking knife like the sebenza? Because the size is very similar and the blade size too.
 
As I mentioned earlier, the blade thickness of the Bexar is about half that of the small sebenza; and the overall thickness is about two thirds. For comparison's sake, the Bexar is about as thick as an Alox Solo; with a blade thickness just over that of an Opinel 6.

I would expect the Bexar to cut like a dream; and, if the edges are as well rounded as the Alox, it might actually be fairly comfortable in hand... depending on what one plans on doing with it. A knife doesn't NEED a lock to be capable; but whether the Bexar would adequately serve your needs is a question only you can answer.

This thread has got me looking hard at the Bexar. I don't need it; and I very recently purchased two pricey knives...but it intrigues me.
