Looking for suggestions for USA made folders

[Dunnie19]

Hi all -

Best group of people to ask for suggestions is right here! Thank you in advance.

I am looking for suggestions in higher end folders, preferably USA made. I have a collection of the knife makers below. But am always on the look out for new ideas. Sadly, I don’t really keep them in display cases (really hurts resale value!)

I tend to like blades in the sub 3.5 inch category.

SPK
Prince Customs

Many thanks in advance.

Another vote for the Spartan SHF 3.25".
Bank vault tough, high end steel, plain Jane or decked out and engraved.

Already said but Spartan and Les George come are the first two that I see missing from your collection.

Microtech (Socom Elite) and Zero Tolerance (0452) are a couple of my favorites

Olamic Custom Knives. This is a pic of mine.

My picture taking skills suck & the color of the dimensions & color of the the Rainmaker & Swish on top is off.

Both have 4" blades & they look much better in person.

I’m not a collector - anything pictured makes a great user though.

You are desperately in need of a Les George!

Well if you want something that's a real challenge to get.

Thread 'Let's talk Northwoods'

Feb 20, 2017

I figured with the recent Northwoods discussion that it would be nice to have an ongoing thread like the "Let's talk GEC" thread to discuss past knives, upcoming knife plans, and to speculate/ fantasize on future runs.
I don't have my one and only Northwoods on me at the moment, but I look forward to seeing y'alls.

I would also recommend a CRK Sebenza or Inkosi.

Demko has some USA made folders. I have a few AD 20s and I like them. Not sure if they would be high-end enough for some people, but if you want a folder that is almost as tough as a fixed blade and can be opened and closed with one finger, you should check them out.
