I've got the itch for a new folder and I'm wanting to try something different than what I currently have. My current favorites are Benchmades and Microtechs and I usually like SOG for more budget stuff. I'm looking to try something outside of those brands.

What I do want:

It has to be a regular production knife with a 3-4" blade, pocket clip and thumb studs.

Blade must be good quality steel, preferably 154CM, M390, VG-10 or 440C. Might consider AUS-8.

Auto, assisted or manual is fine.

What I don't want:

No opening holes.

No serrations.

A wide body knife like a ZT

I don't really care for liner locks but I might consider one if I like everything else well enough.

OK, lay it on me. What do you recommend?

Hogue EX-01 comes in 3.5" and 4" blade lengths and 154cm steel. The button lock is an absolute beast, its extremely durable and smooth. You also get a choice of full aluminum or G10 handles.
