I own a few Spyderco knives, like the Endura 4 and Tenacious. I was looking around for more knives that have the same thumb ramp with jimping. I looked through, Spyderco, Emerson, SOG etc... and made small list so far of the knives that I a want to get. My question is does anyone have any recommendations on knives that have good thumb ramps/troils on them not of the main production knives like Spyderco, Emerson, SOG, Kershaw etc.. Thank you for your time.
 
the spyderhole also creates a blade shape that makes for a good thumbramp.

the military and police 3 have nice useable choils.
 
Sorry for the mispelling. I meant knives that you might not normally hear of like semi-customs brands etc... I pretty much got the production knives that I want written down.
 
Although they're no longer in production. the Lone Wolf T-series of tactical folders have good jimping IMO, and somewhat of a thumb ramp. Another out-of-production number with good jimping is the Bradley Alias I. Doesn't have MUCH jimping, but it's well-placed. Both are nice high-end production knives. I wonder if you have a Benchmade 426? One of the Gravitator family, it's called the Hybrid or Snody Tactical as well. It has the best thumbramp and best ergonomics of all my Benchmades. Tied with the AFCK of course. I would say fit-and-finish- wise the 426 is very close to being a semi-custom. Not terribly common either.
 
some jimping is frankly not deep enough. the needs work kershaw instantly comes to mind. but you can use a jewelers file and deepen the jimping for a better grip. but they can get aggressive and cause blisters. so easy does it.:)
 
Just to clarify... you want some suggestions of folders with Jimping AND choils.. or suggestions for folders with jimping and folders with choils?
