With father's day a few weeks away, my wife has agreed to suprise me with a new knife for the collection. My job is to put knifes I may desire in my ebay wish list and she will suprise me with one of them.

I thought it might be fun to ask the knife community (you guys) to help me put together a list so I dont overlook any good ones. I am a folder guy so looking for folding knives only.

I already have the following, so dont add these : BM Barrage, BM mini-Onslaught, Spydie Para-military II, Cold Steel Mini AK 47, and Buck Paradigm Pro

What knives in the $150.00 range (or less), should I add to my wish list, help me get a good one and thanks in advance for your input.
 
The ZT0350 looks to be a good fit to fill a "hole" in your collection. You could also pick up a Benchmade Adamas. Some of the first productions are still available, too.

For something less common, maybe a Hogue EX01.

a father's day knife should be something the son could relate to, something he used to see dad work with; whether to sharpen a pencil, shorten a leather belt, or whittle a toy. my vote is a traditional slipit like a case xx peanut, a trapper or a buck stockman. :D
 
One of my favorite folders in the sub 150 dollar price range is my Spyderco Stretch in ZDP 189/British racing Green. While ZDP 189 is an aquired taste I've come to love it. Also another knife in my collection that is in your price range is the ZT 200 which is by all means a beast of a knife and not for everyone.
 
lots of good ideas here guys, thanks

I set her up with these 7 to choose from:

Native 5
Gail Bradly
Sage II
Caly 3 (ZDP 189)
Chaparral
BM 950 (Osborne Rift)
stretch (ZDP 189)

going let it be a surpise, I think I will be happy with any of em
