My uncle has given me this criteria, and I need to choose a blade that fits for him!

- Folder
- FDE scale(s) and a black coated blade
- lanyard hole
- preferably $50 - $70 price tag

The price doesn't have to be $50 - $70 retail, let's go with the second hand market price on that one. But he might be willing to go a bit more for a blade that really fits the criteria. He hasn't specified blade length, so we'll be flexible on that.

Help me out guys!!

Thanks in advance.

Don't remember if they make one in FDE, but they do have camo handles with a black coated blade for about $80 - check out the SOG Aegis. The other knife you can get with a black coated blade and either Desert Tan, OD Green, or Coyote Brown (which is close to FDE) handles is the RAT-1 for about $35.

Both are worth a look...

ESEE's framelock folders are available with tan handles and black blades, my wife has one and loves it. They're $30-40.
 
Skyline brnckt. I'm not sure if you can still find them new, but they pop every so often.

The Rat 1 is really good, but the Coyote Brown doesn't match the FDE on his AR-15 build, unfortunately.

The New Benchmade H&K was what came to mind immediately. It is a little over budget but I think the quality would be worth it. I think street price is around $100.

That is PERFECT, except is doesn't have a lanyard hole :-(

I'll sort through those in a bit!

That's a good blade, but I think it's a bit too rare for what he's looking for. I think something more readily available would be better for him, in case he needs to replace anything.
