Where can I get a good frame lock for under $100.00? I want a 3 1/2" or larger blade for EDC. Is this possible? What knife?
Thanks
 
You are too vague. What are your needs?

Anyway, if you just want a framelock for "having a framelock", under $100, I'd suggest a Kershaw Leek or a Camillus Cuda EDC.

P.S. Are you really in Smallville? Ever get a chance to tag Lana?:D

These 2 knives would also be my suggestions. I would check out the Camillus E.D.C. with a D2 blade, you can get it from A. G. Russel. The Leek can also be had with different blade style and s30v blade steel, you can get it from Chesepeak Knife and Tool. The 2 variations that I mentioned are both around $100.00
 
I was thinking the Kershaw Leek as well. I just got the black model from Chesapeake Knife & Tool (not their inhouse model with the better steel). It's Ti Ni coated, has the frame lock you desire, 3" blade and even has Kershaw's Speed Safe assisted technology. It was in their 50% off case to boot dropping the cost down to $40.

microtech mini-socom elite can be had for under $100 in the trade forums. your best choice. fit and finish are superb.

or consider Benchmade 750 Pinnacle, if you can find it.

actually, bump your budget up by $30 and you can try and get either the buck mayo or camillus dominator. both are great framelocks and feature S30V steel. there're a couple for sale in the trade forums.
 
You can also find a Cuda Maxx on the forums from time to time in that price range........definately 3.5" and ABOVE!!:eek: :D

Back to the topic. I purchased a Microtech Mini Socom Elite over the weekend and it should be here on Wednesday. The only other knives ive had is a Delica and Mini Grip so this would be my first framelock. Funny how there was plenty of talk about it when it first came out but I did a search and couldnt bring up anything recent? I just hope theres no QC issues with it when it arrives.
 
I have a S&W FL2 that probably fits the bill.

They also have an FL1 if you don't like the recurve.

We had one on a passaround and it had favorable reviews. Here are some threads that speak of it:

Bayou Lafourche Knifeworks sell them for $37.

I have used/abused mine and it has held up well. Offers a lot of bang for the buck.
