I'm looking for a folder with specific parameters:
Recurved Drop- Point
overall - 7 3/4"
blade - 3 3/4"
weight - 10,75 oz
type of lock - Liner-Lock, Axis Lock or Axis assist

Thanks for any help
 
Closest I can think of is a Grayman Satu or Benchmade 710, neither of which hits every mark. It's going to be tough to hit all of those parameters without going custom, IMO.
 
Benchmade 496 Vector. It's an axis assist, and it's OAL is a little longer than you want, but it hits all your other requirements. The hollow grind on the recurve part is an amazing slicer, and the handle is the most comfortable folder I own. This is probably my favorite knife, and is in my pocket more days than not.

Why 10.75 oz?

The only folder that I can think of that comes close to that in weight is the Extrema Ratio RAO II listed at 11.4 oz but the blade is 4.7"and it is 10.4" long overall. See: https://www.extremaratio.com/rao-ii.html?___store=en

A brute of a folder that can take anything you throw at it which is still on my "buy list" if I can find one that's NOT a fake and for a price that I'm willing to pay for it.

Medford Knife & Tool Praetorian T comes close! Drop point, but no recurve.

Total length: 8 15/16″
Blade length: 3.75″
Closed length: 4.9″
Blade thickness: .190″
Scale thickness: .125″
Weight: 9.3oz
 
Welcome to the forums. Interesting first post .. :thumbsup:

ZT 301
hits : blade length and recurve.
misses : overall 8.5" and weight 8.25 oz and framelock

The weight can easily be solved with some custom lead scales. :p
I'd go uranium scales personally. If SHTF, split them?
