Hello everyone, I am not new to knives but have run into quite the issue... I have recently gotten into higher end knives such as CRK and RHK knives and have found that I love flippers and the ease of sharpening a choil as it allows for more even sharpening. So here is the issue, I have a bit of extra money to spend and am looking at a new blade. I do not have enough for the brands that I listed, and am going to wait on buying another of those for a bit. Now for qualities...
I would prefer a flipper that requires little to no wrist, an easy to use non flipper frame lock would be good as well
$100-200 range, two $100 knives or 1 $200 knife, it doesn't matter.
3-3.50" Range
Would be used for light EDC such as opening boxes, cutting tape, string, and the occasional box or two. No wood or metal.
Thin-ish grind to allow for good slicing
Choil or a good plunge line that doesn't have the handle in the way for ease of sharpening.
Blade steel isn't too much of an issue as long as it is from a reputable company, I am okay with it!
For those wondering, I have already tried the southard, domino, ZT56X, Manix 2, PM2 and Sage series, so not really looking for any suggestions from those.
Really looking forward to the suggestions!
