HELP ME CHOOSE MY NEW EDC KNIFE!!!!
Hello, so as the title says I'm in the market for a new knife. I'm rewarding myself for getting a C on my Algebra 2 final (this is good for me, the highest I've gotten on a math final is a D).
Here's a little about myself and how I use my knives. I'm 17 and have been making knives for 3 years, and have been seriously into knives for about that long. I've EDCd a SAK Cadet and Spyderco Delica 4 in that time frame. I typically use my EDC knife for opening mail, cutting paper or rope. Definitely not hard use, I use a fixed blade for any hard use. I love my Delica, but I'm looking for something easier to close one handed/ fun to play with. Here's what I'm looking for in my blade.
Budget of $200, but cheaper is always appreciated.
Around 3 a little more or less is fine.
I'm not picky about weight, but something that won't pull my pants down would be nice.
Folding only, I'm not a fan of EDCing a fixed blade
Manual opening, no assisted opening.
No lock back I'm looking for something different.
American made is always great, but not required.
Screw together construction, because I'm thinking I would want to pimp it.
Steel isn't a big factor, but I prefer sharpenability and toughness over edge retention.
Thanks for sticking around and reading this. Hopefully I covered everything Just to spice things up here's a pic of my first and only friction folder. 1095 steel with a orange juice patina, blue g10, copper liner and pins.
