Help with new folding knife.

[Elefantener]

I have been browsing for a knife around 4" that has a "Bowie"/Clip point that is preferably a folder, I can only find a few so what do yall suggest? Budget is around $200. Thanks yall! BTW fit and finish is important.

You can't go wrong with a cold steel recon 1/recon 1 mini - only about $60ish on amazon, and while it does have aux 8 steel, it holds up really well, and is great for all the heavy work you can throw at it, mainly due to it's tri ad lock.

Sorry but I already own it! In fact I have been fondling it the whole time!

You beat me to it, Spydercos make quite a few if you want better steel

Buck 110. if you don't already own one you gotta give one a try.

It's a bit pricier but you should look into the Emerson Super Commander, 4" Clip point, one of the best Emersons in my opinion

What about a Bowie under the same constraints but with a budget around $250.

There are really some great folder options out there. Kershaws mentioned Emerson. They have several models to choose from with a clip blade. Since you already have a C.S. Recon and seem to like it, the Espada might be worth checking out.

Here's a fee other options thatvmight fill the bill...

-Benchmade Onslaught and Bedlam
-Spyderco Navaja and Battlestation (only about a 3 inch blade)
-Boker Uolcos, Squail (not a true bowie or clip but handled one at the store today
and GOD what a great knife for the money) or higher end kalashnikov/kal models

While you may never find the "perfect fit", its the search thats the fun part.

I think tbe idea was the o.p was looking for bowie/clip point blades and a little higher end knives (around $200). Those are both tantos in the 30 to 40 dollar range. Great knives (although i have a hatred for tanto blades) for the money.
