Hey guys. Family keeps asking me what I want for christmas. A new folder would be nice, but I don't know what to ask for. I'd like to get something quality. I know strider, CRK and all them are out of the 200$ range, but i want to try and get something robust. Here's what I have for folders right now:

-CRKT M16-03 Aluminum (Old Old style without auto lawks)
-Kelly Worden Large tactical by Timberline
-Buck lite
-Kershaw Blur
-Kershaw Wildcat Ridge
-Buck 110
-Benchmade griptilian cabelas edition
-Spyderco Military
-Spyderco caly3 in zdp
-Spyderco Salt I

Those are my main folders. I also have a custom fixed blade with maple burl handles and a 4" 01 blade. Also a mora clipper and a puma white stag hunter but that's it for fixed blades. I have a few swiss army knives, a leatherman ST300 and surge also. I do a lot of hiking, fishing and whatnot in the woods. It will be used in and or around water, maybe used to split some small sticks for a fire. Nothing too abusive. I'm pretty good with my blades care wise.
 
Lots of options for under $200
Folders
Para 2
ZT 0350 or 0200
Houge folder

Fixed
Houge fixed blade
Anything from ESEE line
Fallkniven F1
BRKT Bravo 1
 
a zt folder sounds good (0300 with that budget), i dont have one but i know alot of people love the spyderco para2/military for EDC
 
Also consider the Spyderco Gayle Bradley, Sage 2, and Manix 2.

Kershaw JYD II, Lahar if you can find one.

The ZT's that have been mentioned of course, and I recently got a Hogue EX01 with the aluminum scales. That one is a clear no-brainer too.
 
It sounds like you don't have any bigger fixed blades - what about one of the bigger Beckers or a Swamp Rat Rodent 9? Looks like Scrap Yard also has a couple that would be good for general woods-work.

coldsteel srk sanmai
and scrapyard has great deals on knives- good steel as well
you could get scrapyard sykco 711 and 511 for just over 200- thats great deal, however youd have to get sheaths
id go with 711 great price 120$
 
BM 710 or 950 are great folders. Haven't seen them mentioned yet.
