Lockback With Best Fit and Finish-Help

[Johnny11758]

I'm looking for a production lockback with a 3-inch blade and a 4+-inch handle in great fit and finish. What would you recommend?

Sounds like your talking about a Buck 112 with a 3" blade and a 4.25" handle with great fit and finish. It also depends on how much money you want to spend because these knives are relatively cheap and can be bought at Wally world which makes them great. You dont have to worry about loosing it or breaking is because they are easily accessible.

The Beretta Jess Horn collaboration model, if you can find one. Made by Moki for Beretta. Moki also made the Spyderco Jess Horn collaboration model. Fit and finish on both is superb, but the Spyderco is considerably smaller than 4" closed.

Spyderco's Ocelot is a great folder for all that you seem to be looking for.

My vote would go to Spyderco's Persian or Benchmade's 690

I would love to find a Benchmade 690.

Spyderco Persian.

I like the Benchmade model 10400. This hooter locks up like a bank vault door, holds an edge until next year (Rockwell 60), and is cool looking, IMHO.

I'd say any lockback from Spyderco. Especially the Manix, Adventura, and Endura/Delica.

That BM PIka is a great knife for the money--440C steel.

Two lockbacks I own that come to mind as having exceptional fit:

- Soque River lockback. Made in Japan, black micarta handles. I haven't seen any for sale in a very long time, and the company is out of business.

- AG Russell Swing-Guard. Perfect F&F, made in Germany with natural handles and 440C steel.

Happy shopping,
-Bob

Don't know what your budget is, but Moki always made a nice knfe.

I think this is the one I'll start saving up for. Leave to A.G. to have another must--have special edition. Thanks, Bob.

The Fallkniven TK3 comes to mind. It is my favorite lockback.

Any Moki is an awesome knife. Also look at Mcusta they have top notch quality better than most but not quite equal to William Henry knives.

The 690 is a liner lock, but absolutely beautiful. My vote goes for the custom shop 110s
