I'm looking for a new small gentleman's folder, I currently carry a small 21 inlay which is great but a bit bigger in my suit pants than I care for.
I tried the spyderco air, and it's great but not really at the quality levels I want for my nice edc (crk quality spoils you some). Does anyone have any reccomendations or experience in finding a high quality gentleman's folder?
Price: arond $450
Size: 2-3"
Deployment: thumbstud or similar, flipper is fine
Steel: S35 or comparable
Style: framework, linerlock, slipjoint
So far I have ruled out WH, as they just aren't the mood I'm going for and all seem a bit more fragile than I want. Leading me to the Mnandi, the new titanium Hoback Mk, or possibly a case/bose slipjoint. While these three are very different the quality seems to be consistent however I'm still uncertain, trying to stay around $450 and I know very little about slipjoint offerings. Does anyone have experience or reccomendations?
