If you had $650 USD to spend on a new knife…

[el gigantor]

…what would you choose? The only parameters are:

a) It must be a folder.
b) It must be used in an EDC role, whatever that looks like to you.
c) It must be just one knife. (Having a bit of change left over is fine though)

One of the things I like most about BF is everyone’s different tastes and preferences. Thanks for whatever input I receive!

 

[John Phillips]

1. CRK Inkosi, Zaan or Large Sebenza
2. Hinderer XM-18 (lots of options)
3. Add $200 and get a Koenig Arius

 

[dirc]

my gb2, then pocket the $400+ ... maybe for a fixed blade, prolly something like cpk or many other makers... good sweet spot for most

I'd buy a new douk douk, another svord peasant, and a swisschamp. Those all currently cover most tasks for me. Then I'd make a principal payment on my mortgage with the change.

My only ‘never sell’ knives remaining (not counting sentimental knives) are my Gen 2 Hinderer Eklipses. I’d pick up another one of them and then use the remainder for a micarta scale and some bronze ano hardware. Never thought I’d be the type to have bunch of the same knife, but here I am…

[Hashishiin]

Huh... I'd buy a Gayle Bradley 2, and a plainedge Cricket?

 

[Srtr]

Probably a black micarta sebenza

 

[3D Anvil]

I'd probably go for a Tasca v.2 by RH Knvies.

Surprised at the GB2. I have a GB1 and bought the 2 because it looked more appealing to me. I hated the knife.

I’d take an AD20 MG in 3V and toxic green g10.

Sticking to the condition of using your whole budget, a Hinderer XM-24 or a PJ Koenig Arius (...in the parallel universe where they can be purchased at table price ).

I've whittled (heh) my collection down to the point (heh) where nearly any knife in it could be my only knife and I'd be happy, and even in that distilled handful of favorites these two both stand out for me.

 

[kobold]

Right now I am waiting for the Spyderco PITS.

 

[celticrogues]

Arno Bernard iMamba. (My latest acquisition anyway)

 

[RBB2]

My current favorite for EDC is a Laconico Classic Jasmine I picked up a few weeks ago. Comfortable, great size, reasonable price for a custom knife, super slicey grind.

 

[K.O.D.]

A used medium Tighe Rod custom by Brian Tighe if I could find one.

 

[CHNeal]

Hint: I’ll pay more…View attachment 1837970

 

[luethge]

A Curtiss F3 medium or Large.
A Laconico would be nice too.

 

[cbach8tw]

Just throw it out there, a CRK Sebenza with micarta scales. Like this, not my pics but borrowed.

 

[hhmoore]

I'm not sure I could find another folder I'm willing to buy. I'm stuck in a Just Say No phase

 

[JPD1998]

I would buy a Sebenza 31 with Ebony or Oak scales.

 

[KVT]

Another Hinderer Skinny. Like I need more. I’d probably enjoy 3 more WEs more, these days.
