Looking for a recurve folder, HELP

ironically, I'm not a fan of recurve style blades. mainly based on sharpening and my tactical use fighting style.
Yet, i think i might have a couple as i'm selling off most of my colection. let me check and get back to you.
btw google is your friend. ask it like you would a man. use " " to be more specIfic and use + to connect ideas like "recurve folding knives" + under $1,000

THAT TYPE OF THING WILL GET YOU FASTER RESULTS Then WAITING FOR OTHERS TO DO THE WORK FOR YOU. how bout that lol. smdh
btw help means you are doing something yourself already and need assistance. it doesn't mean you should expect folks to fish for you. ijs

Maybe de-assist a ZT 350?

As mentioned above there is the zt 0350 in s30v . It is assisted but is a flipper not just thumb studs. It kicks but it’s built like a small tank and for the price you can’t beat it and it ticks your recurve box, but as mentioned above the assist can be removed relatively easily if you dislike and is a fine flipper.

I like this knife, had one a while ago. The assist in it wasn't near as aggressive as the Blur, but couldn't fall in love with it. Maybe it was the all blacked out look. Are there aftermarket scale options? I would guess there must be, but I don't like the idea of messing with an assisted knife, seems like a larger margin for error. I've only ever seen these in the murdered out all black or that hideous tiger stripes, or whatever they call it.

Oh I've already used Google, I've also already used the search function of simply "recurve" on Blade HQ, Amazon, and Knife Center. The results were the problem, I found nothing available that suited me, so I was hoping for some help from those with perhaps more knowledge or personal experience. Not all manufacturers advertise that a blade is or isn't recurve or sheepsfoot, etc. Many rely on our eyes to see for ourselves while using a header to label the knife, size and steel used instead.

So using that in a search function doesn't turn out the results one might think or hope for. In fact I simply Googled recurve knife also. Got many fixed blades that looked great. And many folders that didn't. My problem is that I'm going to be picky. I've got a couple dozen pocket knives as is, so I'm not interested in just any recurve, it's gotta be worthy of picking up to carry instead of my others that I do love. The hinderer mentioned before is definitely the one though. I guess I'll have to keep it on the want list until one comes up for sale used.

There are aftermarket scales but they are black!! The deassist is really not a big deal, pop the three body screws out, take the show side pivot out, take the scale off, removed the plate and the torsion spring and then reassemble without. It’s a little tricky getting the centering dead on after deassisting but not impossible

Such a helpful post :rolleyes:

Spark Spark might as well shut BF’s down, what’s the purpose of a knife discussion forum when google is your friend.

Grayman Satu if you can find one. It's a big heavy folder though and just last week one sold here on BladeForums, so keep an eye out for one if you want a brute.

I was going to suggest this but he wanted 3.5” or under.
I reprofiled one of mine but found I still prefer the recurve a bit more.

Does the 350 have a closing detent hole to keep the blade in the handle when closed? If I remember correctly they didn't use to but maybe that has changed. I wouldn't deassist a knife that doesn't have a closing detent. The blur I had did. Also the 566. I know the 301 and 303 did not and I also thought the 350 didn't.
