I'm not really new to knives, I have lots of generic crap knives with various blades, I know my balisongs as well and have several quality balis.
I just need a knife that will take everyday wear and tear that is well made but not expensive. The only quality knives that I own are an old swiss army knife that I have used/carried in about 6 years and a Buck crosslock (with 2 blades, not just one). I liked the look of the CRKT stiff K.I.S.S. but when I held it it just felt like it lacked something. I don't want an expensive knife, maybe something in the $50-80 range. I was at a knife store earlier today and the man working there said that BM, Kershaw, and a couple of other manufacturers jack up the price simply because it was made by BM (Elishewitz, Pardue, McHenry/Williams etc) which I expected but always seems to disappoint me, I don't buy a knife because of the maker, I buy based on materials, quality, size, and price (as many of you guys/girls do).
OK, after reading all that crap you're wondering when I'm gonna shut up, don't worry it'll be over soon.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for a tactical folder, not really a fixed blade right now. Thank you for your help.
