Does anyone else make folders like Chris Reeve?

When I looked online I found three Timberline models being credited to Lightfoot. Could you be a little more specific about which two models.

Here are the only two that I am aware of. Are you sure the other one isn't a fixed blade?. (I just looked around, and I couldn't find another Timberline lightfoot folder)

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Lightfoot Zambezi Back Up™[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Lightfoot Pistol Grip™[/FONT]

Those are definitely the two I thought you meant. The dealer I looked up didn't have pictures of the third so I don't know if it was fixed or folder but it was listed in the Timberline folders section.
 
Timberline - plastic handle and AUS-8 blade. Yep, that's right up there with the Sebbie.

It might not be up there with the Sebbie, but the quality on these is still very high. Fit and finish are really good on these, and how often do you get a bolster for $80?
BTW..... What's wrong with AUS8? It might not be the latest and the greatest, but it is a quality steel.
 
Here's a pic from the sebenza maitenance sticky. You can see in the pic, just inside the PB washers is a ring of metal. This is the bushing, it keep the distance between the handle slabs constant, regardless of pivot tension.

I was ready to post a new thread\question in search of a new carry folder myself and then I spotted this one. I am currently carrying a Bradley folder with 3.5" blade that I initially reviewed here about a year ago....At first the poster that was carrying its smaller brother thought it was a remarkable knife at it's price (half that of a CRK). Shortly after I bought one of the first production run knives, people here started to decry it's shortcomings. I still find the knife to be exceptional. I find S30V to be the best blade steel I have run across for an everyday carry, excellent edge, easily touched up to shaving sharpness. It is easily opened with the thumb stud and the blade is nice and tight to the handle. My new post was to ask, "are there any new knives out there with 2.75"-3.00" blades(looking for something slightly smaller), SYNTHETIC OR LIGHTWEIGHT AND SLIM handles and multi positional pocket clip with S30V blades, and under say $225?
