i just impulse purchased

On the other side of that coin, I successfully resisted the Amazon prime days sales event the last two days. I was scoping out knife purchases and eventually said notta. Something is wrong with me. LOL.
 
a knife from DPX

me1: It's a framelock! I don't buy famelocks so why did I just spend $290?

me2: It's all metal. Short, thick knife. Looks cool.

me1: But I want the thumbhole, not another thumbstud. And it's too small... and heavy... 1/4lbs... I I don't even know what steel it is!!!!!

me2: Well, the order is complete and I can't cancel it.

Can I buy you a couple of beers I need a new knife?😁
 
They didn't process the order yet so I canceled it. LOL. anti-climactic?

There just isn't a folding knife out there for me... the universe refuses to provide....

No, 4oz isn't heavy, I'm just all over the place. Been without a knife for a while not sure what I'm getting. Heavy is fine, just needs to be right.

Simple criteria, right: ?

All metal.
Made in USA.
Folder.
Deep carry pocket clip.

extras:

Super steel.
Thumbholes.
Sheepsfoot blade.
Assisted? not happening, i know

I reckon if you're a petite individual, perhaps!

Kershaw ?
 
Kershaw is weak.

I've been waiting for the Manix 2 that has a 'i forgot what supersteel' and has screws instead of rivets. If I buy the one available now, they'll release the new one shortly after... bet...

I'd love to browse more companies like DPx....

Here's one that only lacks the deep carry clip.
Order it with the Acid Rain pattern on both scales and clip. Then get the stand-offs; rather than the floating back-spacer. It'll come in under 3.9 ounces.IMG_12072022_124958.jpg

Do you mean S110V steel?
I've got the standard and the lightweight versions.(rivets)
The standard one is the way to go! 👍
 
I believe it was Magnacut or something. I know S110V is available... But it's not available in all black which is why I decided to settle on S30V (I love it, just need to experience a new steel)

My EDC is now the Manix 2! AAAALLLL metal!

Kershaw is kinda like SOG to me. Not the best build, especially the plastic handled knives. Continue to enjoy them if you like em ; )

I own one and I don't hate it, but I wouldn't really recommend it in particular.

I like the ergos a lot, especially on a knife with such a short blade. If I wanted something very heavy duty and Chicago or Boston legal I would probably carry it. Lots of lock stick, which I'm not a big fan of. I don't have any plans to get rid of mine, but if I lost it I wouldn't replace it, for whatever that's worth.
Lock stick as long as it's not excessive is OK in my book. I prefer a little lock stick with a frame lock.
