Hey Guys,

Looking to buy a nice outdoorsy folding knife, primarily for camping and hiking. I bought a BM Mini Crooked River, got a poor QC example and frankly for the price I paid I'm a little disappointed with it overall so it's going back.

I figured I can either stare at knife videos and look through endless pages of knives till my eyes bleed or I can ask you fine folks for some suggestions.

Looking for something modern but with a touch of that classic feel and with nice styling (not just a basic FRN scale knife). Phosphor bronze washers preferred but not a deal breaker. Blade no larger than 3.5" in a good steel. Not a huge back flipper fan but if the knife is nice enough, also no autos or assisted knives.

Thanks in advance!
 
Thanks guys, liking the suggestions.

I have a couple fixed blades but not comfortable strapping those to my belt in a Provincial Park, you get some looks.

🤷‍♂️ Looks can’t hurtcha.

If it has to be a folder I’d recommend a BM Presidio. They’re bombproof and the blade shape/grind works great for wood or anything else you’re likely to run into.
 
A smallish fixed blade, horizontal on the belt is super comfortable, unobtrusive and doesn't garner too much attention

A pocket sheath also works for fixed blade knives 7.5" or shorter.
 
For backwoods or serious hikes I definitely go for a fixed blade but not around campgrounds. Usually wearing shorts or light clothing without belts and I don't like to draw the Yogie's attention too much. I'm just looking for a nice knife to carry when something needs cutting not so much a bushcrafter. Nothing agro or intimidating. Going for something a little more on the classy side that I can use around the campground without drawing much attention
