Been a while since I kept up with the knives out on the market. My rotation is a Benchmade cabelas d2 griptilian, a large crk cf sebenza 21, a spyderco paramilitary 2, a Kershaw blur, a spyderco military, a spyderco cf caly 3 zdp, a spyderco Manix 2 xl, a zt 0561 I made my own and a Leatherman charge tti. I also have a few SAKs but I'm just inquiring about folding knives. Any suggestions?
 
that'll greatly depend on what you look for in a knife. Tons and tons of great knives under $150. One that I really want to try is the upcoming 3 inch Steel Will mini cutjack in gorgeous blue with m390.
 
A nice traditional or a mcusta would be a nice change of pace to the current lineup.
 
You need a nice traditional in that mix.. grab a GEC 74 or Bullnose.
 
My latest acquisition is a Kizer Kyre. Found it to be well build with a great flipping action. No hot spots or sharp edges anywhere. VG10 blade sharpened up to a hair popping edge.

Spyderco sage series might be something to add in there but that's already a heck of a nice rotation. D2 OKC Rat I is pretty nice for a value folder, or a D2 zancudo for something smaller. The new delica wharncliffe is one I'm looking forward to since I'm wharny guy.
 
I have a few traditionals. I have the 2015 csc forum knife, a buck 110 if you consider that traditional and a case medium stockman. I carry the pm2 and sebenza the most
 
Are we talking under $150 for an assortment or knives and tools, or just for a single piece?

I'm a huge fan of KA-BAR, Buck, Cold Steel, Ontario, Victorinox, and the budget lines from Spyderco. They work for me, they do what I need them to do, they don't break my bank.

I've been interested in great eastern cutlery for a bit now. Can you give me a few more recommendations? Maybe a larger handled single blade or some other larger pattern?
 
I mean, for under $150, you'd get the Spyderco Manix2 in S110v.

Now that's a seriously badass knife for the money.

The 21 is their full size and the 42 is the next biggest. The thing with GEC though is that they do limited runs and you never know when they are going to do another. If you can't find one in a patter/style you want, unfortunately you have to go to the used market or just wait.
 
American Lawman in CTS-XHP by Cold Steel. For ~$100 i believe its a great value.

I have one of 1st variants in AUS-8 and CTS-XHP seems like a great upgrade.
 
There's just too much to choose from in that price range. You would have to narrow it down to categories like brand, action (flipper, thumbstud only, etc), materials (G10, CF, Titanium, etc) or lock type even. I mean we could be here all day throwing options at you without a bit of direction.
