Folding knives with a 4 inch clip point blade?

I currently have two edc folding knives, one is a Benchmade 806 AFCK and the other is a QSP Gavial. I'm curious about other folding knives with a 4 inch clip point blade. I haven't found any other than the two that I have. I prefer a flipper. I really like the Zero Tolerance 0452 but I don't really like the drop point blade. Any information or ideas would be appreciated.
 
If you want some traditional folders then there's lots of options from Douk-Douk, Opinel, and Case. Oh, and the 2024 BF knife (available from the link at the top of the page) has a nearly 4-inch main clip blade.
 
Buck makes multiple versions of their mighty 110, modern materials, some with clips and thumbstuds. Four inch blade with a clip point? That's what immediately comes to mind given your parameters.
 
Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but is there that much difference between the 452 and the 806 blade shape? I resisted getting a 452 for years, but once I got it I really like it.
 
Isn't the large Sebenza a 4" clip point? As well as the large Spartan folders.

no. spartan shf is 3.875" and large sebenza is 3.61"

true 4" blade length folders are pretty rare. wish there were more of them as a 4" folder can do a lot that a 4" fixed blade can do minus beating stuff or being beaten......and much easier to carry.
 
I like clip points. 3 flippers below.

If you are into traditionals, there are a couple more.

Laguiole makes a > 4" one, and even the Buck 110 might count, with 3.75" ?

There's also the Voyager, the SR1, and the Espada from Cold Steel. And I suppose it worth mentioning the very inexpensive Range Boss from Cold Steel.

Brother, I LOVE ME an SR1.

While camping/hunting/hiking, I'd almost considerate it "redundancy" for a robust fixie.



*Admittedly, it's pretty beefy for a folder, and definitely not for everyone, in my very humble opinion.

Alone Alone the SR1 is too thick for me. Instead, I would have recommended the Bush Ranger, but it's got a 3.5" blade and I'm pretty sure it's discontinued.

I can't believe I completely forgot about Buck's various clip point folders. Wow, now I'm worried.

Yeah, Quiet Quiet beat me to the Buck reco, too.


Their 110 Slim offerings are pretty amazing. Hell, I can't tell you how many times a $29 Buck 110 "Slim Select" rides with me on the daily.

In my humble opinion, C.J. and his crew did a great job of adjusting the grinds (*especially the "tip" of the original 110) from those of the "Folding Hunter". Their modern offerings are definitely better suited to the needs of EDC-type uses.
