Thank youGreat Point!
Although I do try to stay within my $200-$300 budget. But some amazing designs you just can't resist. Benchmade Infidel 3300 is on my new "must have" list and that baby retails around $400-$450... Some others are just way out of my range unfortunately for now.
Whatever you do Don't listen to 91bravo! Take one of those excellent knives and cut that zip tie off and have some fun. If your trying to stay in the $150 to $ 200 dollar range then you really must sample some of the awesome chinese makers. China has really stepped up their game and are producing some real Gems and their craftsmanship simply can't be denied. Trying not to sound like a shil but take a look at the Massdrop site and click on the Laconico Keen spear point for $139. It is an excellent example of what I'm talking aboutThank you

. It's not like your supporting communism if you buy a couple of knifes from reputable dealers as some would have you believe. Massdrop is one of them. BTW Very nice collection.
Here's my collection, my children
I love made in USA knives. I like them close to 4 inches, it feels like a practical knife. That's why I would never buy a Victorinox knife. If I want scissors I will carry scissors, if I need a nail polisher or clip I can have those as well, but I don't need them on a knife, it just takes the whole fun and the whole idea of knife from the knife, it takes the heart and soul out of the blade. So that's why I stick to the non-serrated plain edge blades. My knives feel so comfortable in my hand that I feel it is like an extension of my arm, extension of my hand, that's what I call my knife. The knife that matches my needs, wants and passes the practicality test and just feels awesome in the hand.
What do you think? Do you think Lionsteel SR11 Blade of the year 2017 (with slipner blade) would be a good addition to the collection
Zero Tolerance 0562CF 3.6 inch with CPM 20CV blade
Spyderco Military 4 inch with CPM S110V
Kershaw Leek Onion Design w/ 14C28N blade
Benchmade Barrage 581 3,6 inch with M390
Microtech Tradoon 4 inch with Elmax
Hogue X5 4 inch with CPM154
Microtech Socom Elite 4 inch with M390

And that's why so far I've been staying away (other than new Spyderco Euoedge addition) from the Chinese makers, if I pay the same amount for Made in USA, paying the same $200-$300 for made in China knife, I just have hard time committing myself so far. Do love those Kizer designs though
Within $200-$300 I did buy few awesome made in USA knives: ZT, Spyderco, Benchmade. I think Microtech ones cost around $500 ; Tony Marfione likes his knives expensive
