Looking for a 2 in. SA knife.

[Überfuchs]

I am looking for a 2 inch locking spring assisted knife with a pocket clip, which opens by thumb stud or a back kick piece (I don't know what this is called... @__@ ). I don't want any kind of button lock or button release, to me, this crosses the line too far into switchblade territory. I need it because my living environment does not permit knives over 2" and I can easily make it 1.99". It mentions nothing about assisted knives, only switchblades. Also, it is relatively lax, but I want to be extra careful.

Basically: 2" SA knife, locking, no buttons (activated by thumbstud or extension in the back).

I've been looking around, but my general ability to find one has been quite problematic. I found a cheap Winchester at Walmart, but I am dissatisfied that it has a button. Thank you so much - I hope this is in the right forum.

Admin: Could you please move this to the SA subforum? My bad.

I think the Kershaw Chive matches your requirements. It's small, has a nice kick of an assist, and looks good, to boot!

Let us know what you find.

The Kershaw Chive has a blade 1 15/16" long with a flipper and it has Kershaws Speed Safe assisted opening. It's pretty cool and comes in a bunch of different finishes. Cheap too.

+1 on the chive, it's also easy to find. however, sog has the twitch 1 that is a 2" blade. spring assisted flipper with a lock back http://sogknives.com/store/TWI-7.html

also, ckrt makes some nice one handers like the PECK that fit the bill but are not flippers. http://www.crkt.com/Delilahs-PECK-Wharncliffe-Razor-Sharp-Edge
