I vote to stay away from the Chaparral in Raffir Noble, its a great knife except for the combination of the scale material and the wire clip make pocket retention poor. At least with the one I had and the pants I wear. It came out of my pocket 3 times, lucky that I didn't lose it.
I vote for the Mini Grip or the CF Chaparral

I voted Para 3 Grey/Cruxwear sprint run. It's a sprint run, so not a ton of them out there. Maybe a little more unique then some of the other options. The grey scales look great.

I'm not a fan of CF, metal, or wood handles. I like the grippiness of G10 (or micarta). G10 > FRN if given a choice. Especially at this price point. The Raffir Noble edition looks great but if it is like kirinite, it's probably kinda slippery. Bleh.

My 2nd choice is the BM North Fork in the G10 edition. Same price and free engraving (as of a few mins ago) vs the wood handles. Again, G10 > wood and that grey/black color combo G10 looks awesome.

3rd is the BM Shori. I can do metal bolsters if they look good and this knife looks good. I have no experience with that knife lock so that is an unknown to me and why it's 3rd.

Get the P3 Cru Wear if you can but Cru Wear isn’t really Stainless and a non knife guy may not dig it. Best knife on the list though.
