As the title says, I'm on the market for a new pocket folder. I have a few quality fixed blades, but not many quality folders.
I'm looking for a good EDC one, with a blade around 3-4 inches. I don't really care about the blade material, as long as it won't explode in my hand when I try to cut things.
Ideally, the knife would have both a flipper and one or two thumb studs, as I like having different options for opening. I would like it to be quick opening, also. The Kershaw Skyline looks interesting, if a little on the thin side for my personal tastes and personal hands.
Also, I should probably say that in general i dislike G10 scales. My preference for folders is something a bit more grippy or rubbery. It would also preferably have scales on both sides as well as have a pocket clip.
I feel like I'm being super picky, and I might get no help at all, but I figured I should try! My knowledge of folders is fairly lackluster.
Thanks in advance for any help you may give!
 
You might check out the Dendra Deer Hunter. 3.75" blade, flipper, thumb studs, pocket clip and micarta scales. Micarta isn't exactly rubbery, but it is quite grippy and usually gets even grippier when wet. It also tends to feel warmer and more organic than G10. Just be aware that the Deer Hunter is both thick and heavy.
 
I just mentioned the Dendra Deer Hunter in the thread asking about micarta handles and thought of it when I saw the title to this thread. I see that Insipid has already beaten me to the punch though. It is a great folder for the price.:thumbup::)

Btw, welcome to BF!!

Credit where credit is due, it occured to me as a suggestion because I saw your comment in the other thread. ;)
 
I definitely like the look of the Dendra Deer Hunter! My ESEE-6 has definitely made me a fan of micarta scales, but I'm unsure how I would like them on a folder.
The Cryo 2 looks nice, but I do want scales on both sides.
Thanks for the suggestions so far!
 
Wait for the Kershaw Camber to hit the shelves, or see if you can find a Lahar on the secondary market.
