Hi, guys. I'm looking for some large tanto folders. Specs I'm looking for are:

*4+ inch blade
*Around $100 or less
*flipper (preferred, not necessary)
*liner lock or framelock

I already know about the large and XL Cold Steel Voyagers, as well as the CRKT m-21. I just can't seem to find many larger tanto folders that are above 3 to 3.5 inches.

Thanks in advance.
 
ZT 0700 is 3.5", flipper tanto

if you move the price up, there is Hogue EX01, BM Lum, and maybe a few others

Love the 0700. If you want somthing to drool over, look up "Laconico tanto blast flipper".
 
Dang you said 100 or less. I saw a Lum Tanto go for 160 this week...
 
I got my aluminum Hogue Ex01 4" tanto for $100.
It's a button lock, but easily the most solid and smoothest folder I've owned.
 
Look for a Camillus CUDA2 "CUDA Tanto". 4" blade, plain or serrated. Out of production but popping up from time to time.
 
I know it isn't what your looking for but the Wildsteer WX is a very interesting tanto designed knife.
 
My Benchmade 760 is my favorite Tanto.

I also have this big CRKT M16 tanto that I like, but it is an inexpensive knife and I can't respect it as much as my more expensive knives. Also it has a fairly weak lock.

I don't own one but I think a Spyderco Lum tanto would be a good design.
 
Hogue EX-01 (3.5 or 4.0 inch blades available)
one of the best looking and tightest locking tanto blades Ive seen. I know its not a flipper or a framelock but the lockup is just as strong if not stronger. Comes in several handle options aswell. You can get black or green G10, black or green aluminum, and black or brown polymer.

Just get yourself an XL tanto Voyager for $50.00. I guarantee that you will not find another knife tougher and stronger than a Tri-Ad lock folder.

Well, besides the Voyagers, Cold Steel has their XL Recon coming out later this year, and it has a tanto option as well. Should be around the $100 mark I think. There's also the S&W "Border Guard" and "Border Guard 2" which have a 4.4 inch tanto blade, though S&W knives aren't exactly noted for quality.
 
I 100% agree with Blade-Fiend, the Hogue EX-01 is my recommendation as well.

It's over the $100 mark, but so worth every penny.

I have the OD Green Gmascus 3.5" Tanto Model and I love it.

Highly recommended and I have never heard one person make a bad comment about any Hogue Knives.
