If the credit was enough, I'd go with this:

somewhat of a strange and cool hybrid of a gentleman's folder and a tactical folder, it seems pretty awesome

Peace Out.

RAT-1 folder, cant go wrong for just over $20.

Nice folder for the price but doesn't fit any of the OP's criteria. :thumbdn:

Look to see what Mcustas they have. They make really nice stuff.

Kershaw Damascus is cheap quality. I bought a Kershaw Damascus skyline last year, and the damascus COATING, yes it's just a tri-nitride COATING, wore off in a matter of days... IT's not even genuine Damascus

I didnt abuse it either... just cut up some cardboard

It's most likely an etched blade, or simply a super cheap forged damascus. The blacking rubs off, and upon brushing with a mild "dish-wash" type pad, comes off completely. Application of oils only lubricates, doesn't bring the blacking back.

Wrong.....

Let's see some pics....

Try out the Buck 55. The little brother of the 110.

I know what you mean about Kershaw Damascus. I didn't abuse this Leek, just used it to drill a hole in some cardboard and look what happened.

To answer the OP's question, the Kershaw Wild Turkey would be a good choice:

This is a limited run version, but the regular production with rosewood handles looks almost as nice.

Thanks all, so the credit is for $80 but I can go up or down depending on what I like...

Always thought the Shoki was nice but heard some less than favorable things about the lock mechanism...also the opportunist looks good.

Mathew,
Take a look at the Kershaw gentlemans folder. Very classy!
