Light Weight Clip-less folder

KamSingh · Jul 25, 2006

I need some help looking for a light weight clipless folder that i can carry loose in my pocket and not worry about it getting scratched up.

Blade needs to be 2.5" to 3"
Should have good steel
Less than $100
Locking

I'm thinking of getting the Fallkniven TK4, is there anything similar out there?

Thanks
Kam

That's too small

After reading another thread i might just get a native and remove the clip

I was recently looking for a similar knife for my step dad. I got him a Benchmade Opportunist. He loves it.

There are a lot of good spyderco's that could have its clip taken off.

I want something that won't get scratched up or scratch other things in my pocket

I think i might just go with the Native

The Native without the clip is 2.3 oz. A Caly Jr without the clip is 1.7 oz, even better than an Opinel 9 at 2.1 oz.

How about an A G Russell Featherlite folder. It is ideal to put in the pocket, has a good lock, you can open it one handed, and is very light weight. THANK YOU! Kevin

Thanks guys

How about the Al Mar Ultralights?

The Hawk has a 2.75" blade, Falcon has 3"; blade steel is AUS-8, not the greatest but far from the worst; linerless but with thick micarta scales, plenty sturdy, and about as close to weightless as you can get in a functional knife. Comes with a clip, but it's easily fixed by removing one screw, with no ugly recesses or bumps left behind, just a lanyard hole.

The Eagle (4") Talon Ultralight is one of my favorite summer knives, doesn't even weigh down the lightest shorts.

Ka-Bar Dozier in D2
a bit under $100
could be found arounf 60

Victorinox Nylon Solo. Runs under 10$, very light and the scales don't ding easily. It's a beefier version of the standard SAK blade, which is a proven cutter.

I have the solo its a nice knife

U2 too small - How 'bout the new plastic handled Tre-Kroner?

Been looking at that myself. A bit more blade and handle.

The Japanese made KaBar Dozier liner lock folder with D2 steel is a real winner. The black anodized clipless aluminum scales makes for a lightweight in the pocket. These are discontinued. Better look for them soon if you want one.
