Hi I have been thinking of carrying only one folding knife and I want to see which ones are really good users out there.Meaning good blade steel,easy maintenance ,cleaning,beetwen 3-3.5 inch blade length,reliable and strong lock etc...
My favourites are small sebenza,BM 710(m390),ritter grip,BM 755,muller msp(cpm s90v),demko ad-10...
Basicaly everyday users who are keeping their initial quality after every day use and abuse.Price is not relevant and thanks for your inputs.(pics are welcome)
 
My present favorites are SAKs, large slip joints, and Spyderco Delicas or similar sized Spyderco knives.
 
ah my favorite category and most of what I have fits all those specifics for the most part. Three sisters forge beast, delica 4 ffg, zt 0350, spyderco paramilitary 2, spyderco sage 1 are a few.
 
what do you think about spyderco gayle bradley folder.Its robust ,excellent fit and finish ,very good steel m4,looks almost like a perfect knife in every aspect(with a steel maintenance of course).
 
When I asked a similar question, the Sebenza came up time and again. If price is not an issue, then the history, quality, reliability, and superb warranty of CRK should be your first choice.
 
I do have small sebbie but that gayle bradley screams quality and looks fantastic with better steel than sebenza.Just a personal preference i guess.
 
the Gayle Bradley is my most often carried knife, then my 20CP Paramilitary 2. I even carry my Militaries and some ZTs more often than my Sebenza.
 
Buck Vantage Pro. The BOS heat treated S30V is excellent steel, the knife carries very well and in my opinion, it's the perfect size for an every day carry knife.
 
do you use gayle bradley for food prep as well and how heavy is it for pocket carry
 
Folders that really make me feel "prepared" are the lg or sm Sebenza, an SnG or SmF. I would say Spydies, but I don't think they really inspire the confidence that the aforementioned do. I would say Hinderer, but I'd certainly rather have a couple Sebs or a couple Striders or a myriad of such for the $800 a Hinderer costs.
 
Honestly, you can't beat a Sebenza for ease of maintenance, build quality, materials and life expectancy.

If you want a smaller size get a small but if size is not limiting factor you will not regret getting a large, it is much more useful and easier to manipulate the action.
 
I've been using an AG Russell Rancher. She works like a charm... for $26. clams.
 
I have 3 different knives from Alan Davis that I have been carrying. Of the ones you have that Demko AD 10 is AWESOME! I have one but it is to nice to carry but that is the one I would pick out of yours! Kevin :D:thumbup:
