hmm well...im in the market for an assisted opener...
aus8 or better
preferably a flipper
tactical in nature or tactical looking
3.5-4.5" blade
80 bucks max...
dont suggest me a sog...or ill blow you up
 
Your options are used or blem ZT, what you described is pretty much describing most of them....or a Benchmade, but I don't know if any of their assisted folders have flippers.
 
kershaw Rake CB, Kershaw Ram those are the only two i can think of atm besides a ZT
 
Save up more money than 80 and buy a knife that isn't junk.
Just my opinion though.

:eek: lots of good knives are less than $80 dude - sometimes for certain features or specific design you have to pay more.

Oh trust me I know, and I think many companies make excellent folders as that price level but I'm going with this idea:

I'm going more with the thought process of: Get a really nice one with an amazing waranty (For Example: Benchmade has lots of assisted and arguably the best warranty as far as production goes), then you get a hgih quality knife, that should in theory be in use for life, and has excellent F/F desgins features. Perhaps an axis assist, I only have manual axis lock, but I'm sure axis assist is top natch.

Plus+ and this is a maybe perhaps, but you could go as far as to say a more well-built high level assisted folder = safer than a cheaper one; perhaps.

The description in bold could just as easily be applied to Kershaw as to Benchmade, and Kershaw has lots of assisted openers under $80.

Some Kershaws to look at would be the Speed Bump G-10, Blur, Turbulence, Rake (already mentioned), and Shallot.
