I'm in the process of possibly selling/trading in other low to mid tech folders for something in the next price range. I have too many low to mid tech ($70.00 - $250.00) knives and I'm considering pairing that down to 2-4 more expensive knives to rotate through the edc.
I'm familiar with a few brands - CRK, Benchmade Gold Class, etc. but not much else.
I'd like to see some folders in a different class with some specs if possible.
We can keep it simple and if I see something I like, I can look up all the specs myself.
Here's my criteria:

Here's my criteria:
- NO China or Taiwan. I don't care how well they're made.
- U.S.A., Italian, German, Spanish, etc. You get the idea.
- $250.00 to $700.00 range (new or used ok)
- Blade length over 3" (I don't expect to see the exact measurement on every post; just keep it simple like, over 3.5" or a little less than 4", I can look at all the specs if the knife makes my "want one" list. I like bigger knives since I'm a big guy with XL hands.
- Readily available - Production knives preferred versus customs or semi-customs. I have no problem buying customs but I'm not in the market to order one and get on the waiting lists. I want to do this now and have the knives in a few days if I buy/trade.
- NO slip joints - I have plenty and this is about modern folders with modern materials and pocket clips, etc.
- Premium Stainless Steels (Super Steels) - M390, CPM-20CV, Elmax, S35VN, Damascus, etc.
