Looking for a carbon steel pocket knife

[Johnathon shelton]

Hello i was wondering if anyone on here could help me out with some suggestions for a new knife. Im looking for a folder that has a pocket clip in the 3 to 4 inch blade range. But i want the blade to be in a non super steel carbon steel. I want a knife that will patina show its character. I appreciate the way all of my traditionals have started to look over time and i want that on a more modern knife that i usually carry. The only ones i can find are the 52100 Spydercos and the new Tops bob folder. All of my favorite steels are carbon but i just realized that all of my modern folders are stainless. Also i personslly consider D2 to be stainless because all mine wont even tarnish. Thank you all in advance

Spyderco has knives in 52100, cpm-m4, and cru-wear. Benchmade has some m4 but I think all there blades are coated. You could always strip the coating off.

Case has a couple traditional-ish type knives with pocket clips and CV steel.

80CrV2 might be what you're looking for. I bought 5 Winkler Knives, some designed by Jason Knight and they're excellent. Look at the Everycarry and Jaeger Fixed Blades. Note that those just mentioned are fixed blades.

They do make an 80CrV2 folder too!

The only reason i havent already got a 52100 spyderco is because i already have a couple spydercos and i kinda want something different. But that is my fall back haha. As far as benchmade i just cant seem to find any designs that i really like so far.

I saw the winkler folders last night but i dont think ill be able to talk my wife into letting me buy a 400 dollar knife. 80crv2 is awesome though. I have it on a skrama and jaarkaripuukko
