help with my next purchase

[Popsickle]

Hey guys I'm new to the forum and need a little help with my next knife. My first purchase was a SOG Trident tanto and I'm very happy with it so far. I'm stuck between the al mar sere and the spyderco police 3. Any other options I should be considering? I'm looking for manual or assisted open knives w/ a plain edge between 3 in. and the 4 3/8 IN. the police is. I am not interested in auto knives because they are illegal to carry in south Carolina. Thanks for any help or recommendations ahead of time!

Welcome to Blade Forums!
I can recommend the following:
ZT 0200, 0300series, 0350
Spyderco ParaMilitary2
Spyderco Military

Try browsing the photo section of the forums to get a better idea of what is available.

Toss us a budget, but if you like assisted the Benchmade NEW Axis assisted fires FAST 583 warn is a good model. I think like $107-110 New on the bay.

100-300 tops at this point

my list has grown.... spyderco military, in the future the 0550, emerson cqc7, spyderco endura 4, and the griptilian.

Spyderco Stretch (I say this all the time ) or Opinel Nr8/9

 

[Apebrains]

I'd go with the police out of those two, but I'd also look into the Military and the Benchmade 950 Rift or any number of other BM's before the other two you mentioned.

I'd say military or if you want a harder use folder, take a look at the spyderco chinook 3.
