I have large hands, and am looking for an assisted opening folder that has large scales, and a blade of at least 3.7 inches. New or used either one is ok but need to stick to a price of around 150.00 max. Looking for uncoated, plain edge blade.
Thanks very much for any thoughts on this.
 
ZT 0300, 301 come to mind first, not as many AO big blades out there. You might be able to catch one in your price range if you are patient. Out of curiosity, why assisted on a larger blade? Most of the larger blades open as fast or faster without the assist due to the weight of the blade.
 
Benchmade Barrage and Torrent are 3.6". If you can find someone selling a Nitrous Stryker I believe they are 3.7"
 
The Barrage is the only thing coming to mind that meets your criteria. If I think of something else later I will come back to it!
 
If you want something that is higher end, with good materials I would suggest the Cold Steel Swift line, or either Benchmade Barrage (M390 will run a bit over $150). If you can live with a little under 3.7" you could look at the Benchmade Volli, which is nice as hell, in my opinion nicer than the Barrage.
 
if you can live without the assisted try kizer. lots of buttery smooth flippers, premium materials at incredible prices.
