My girlfriend got sick of seeing me surfing all of the neat and wondrous folding knives out there while I day dream on having one of them some day...so she said she will buy me a knife under $300 on a few conditions:
1. She must approve of the knife and the knife's wow factor in looks. "It must have fashion!"
2. I must not buy any future folding knives or other knives except Himalayan Imports or very specific fixed blade knives such as Swamp Rat RMD LE or any "Wow" fashion (practical ~Wolf) custom knives (edit: It's a joke for those of you that are sensitive
)
3. Must be under $300
Here's my criteria since choosing the knives will in the end be out of my hands so hopefully some of the criteria will exist in the knife she chose for me.
Here's what I would like it to have:
1. It must be rugged and durable knife
2. Be able to handle all sorts of environments from the Rocky Mountains to Minnesota's many weather to the swamp land of Florida to many places.
3. I like it beefy and big but not required. Weight is not an issue for me.
4. I don't mind it being long and slender or thick and beefy, but I want it to be tough enough to act as an emergency pry bar if need be.
5. Don't want the knife to be tiny so much that I have to raise my pinkie just to hold the knife.
I'm probably overlooking some criteria but I fully intend to make a user out of this knife and have it do as many functions as I can use with it (cue in the Swiss Army Knife joke here).
I wouldn't mind a ZT quality knife and above.
Lets see if there's a knife that will give my girlfriend a "Oooh pretty!" wow factor and be ruggedly loyal to me for years to come. Is there such a knife out there?
Edit:
P.s. Please include pictures of the suggested knives as my girlfriend will be viewing this thread. Thank you!
