looking for a new knife

[albertwas27]

hi guys! new to the forum, just wanted to get your opinions on picking a new knife, I'm looking for a new edc folder and a couple of them caught my eye. the other day i was looking into some knives and I'm kinda torn between them, i looked into a paramilitary 2, manix 2 xl, and a couple of other knives. I've kinda gotten the knife bug these past few months. just wanted opinions on which would be better. i live in the philippines and the city i live in is kinda a coastal area. so its kinda a headache trying to get other peoples opinion cause theres not a lot of people into knives over here. apart from the manix 2 xl and the paramilitary 2 you guys got any good suggestions?

What is your budget and preferred blade length? Benchmade Barrage. I believe the new one has a high speed steel like M4 or M390.

 

[albertwas27]

blade length? anything around 4 inches. around 100 to 200 dollars is my comfort zone. thanks for the suggestion but sadly I'm not a fan of the axis lock, nothing personal just my preference thanks for the suggestion though!




btw knives i currently own:
kershaw blur
zt350
buck112
spyderco pacific salt

Stick with the paramilitary they are a tried and true brute you will not regret it

sounds like you're in a pretty warm, humid area. How about the Spyderco Salt series with H1 steel. Won't rust.

alloy with a lot of chrome!

also scratches easy

if your not in the water with it, or if you keep is coated with silicone, or if you clean it off. seems more like a dive alloy. in my 2 min research
