Hey bud, can you please tell me any more about the Kershaw at the bottom of the first picture? I'm not sure, but I think I may need one of those.lol. They all look nice, but that one just seems to suit me...

I have two in my collection that I would consider on the modern side. Our 2020 BF swayback and this Tinus Stone. Not really sure how the Stone is constructed but it is as sturdy as any traditional folder I have handled. I enjoy both of these very much.

The federalist falls into a category that I wonder about. Double Detent knives. Not slip-joints, but non-locking. Do people like them? I wanted a ZT230 until I handled one. They just seem wrong to me, but maybe it was just that one knife.
There is so much in this thread to drool over.

I had one but did not like the double detent. It was far too weak for my liking. I ended up giving it away. I did like how it looked just couldn't get over the action and detent.

Also a fan of the Ohio River Jack single blade although I dont think it is a modern so I have not posted here before. Beer and sausage night with the dog.

I guess I got a thing for Italians.
I hadn’t carried a slipjoint at work before Merle came to visit. And while I’ve still got a trusty Spyderco on me at work, this lil’ guy has been riding also.
M390 is alright as far as soooper steels go, but I’ve moved on to the Magnacut bandwagon. There’s a cat just down the road from me, goes by Delight Valley Blades. His construction is more traditional, notable exceptions being titanium liners, and I’ve never seen him use a metallic bolster. A few shadow patterns, mostly he has a bolster in different material, a lot of micarta, sometimes carbon fiber, this one has Elforyn for the bolster and shield.
