Help me find a knife for my picky wife.

[Jackal]

2.6"-3.4" blade
blue scales or something with MOP inlay, but no plastic / polymer
pocket clip
one-handed opening
under $150
plain edge blade

...so far all I've been able to come up with is one of the old KOTM BM 940's (on ebay, but there is an issue there) and a Spydie Manix2 in blue, but these are long gone and the few I've seen sell were like $250 or so. This will be a user, so no high-dollar collectibles or I'd just get her a 3" XM-18.

Hmmm.. specifics.

I was just going to recommend buying something you like, and she will just take ownership of it.

At least, that's how it works in our house

Kershaw Leek with Blue Aluminum Handle and 3" Blade for about $50 ??

The Benchmade 921 Switchback has been discontinued, but you should still be able to find one. http://www.benchmade.com/products/921

Edited to add: You'll probably need to find a used one to come in under $150.

The shop across the street from me still has some 921's.

Not that I've had any experience with it, but the CRKT Ripple 2 seems to fit those characteristics.

She MIGHT like that...how did they do the colors on SS? Heat colored with a laser?

Agreed.

 

[Jackal]

Spyderco Kopa 3 flavor shell.

I actually found that right off and she liked it, but we're still looking since it's not quite perfect.

Not as bad as my old lady... Got her this for our 1 year anniversary. Hers is the one on the left, though she wore My Sea Dweller while I did a week in county for my DUI.
