I need suggestions for a new every day carry folder. I already have a bunch of knives but I have very specific needs for this knife.
What I want:
Max of aprox 4 inches (no more than 4.25") closed with a 3+ inch blade
STRONG Pocket clip, preferably tip up carry
Thumb stud, not thumb hole opening
Not a spear point blade, preferably a recurve/drop point or similar
No injection molded handle (read no Zytel)
Must look cool, nice enough to wear with business attire
Lightweight
Frame locks need not apply
Less than $100 (OK, I'll take suggestions of more expensive stuff as well)
For reference, I already own a William Henry T10-CF (probably the coolest knife I own) which meets all these requirements,however, I use a money clip and have found that the knife will occasionally catch on my cash as I remove it from my pocket and thereby slip out of my right front pocket where it's clipped. The knife is so light that if you're in a noisy environment, you don't hear it hit the floor (I've figured out that that's how I lost my first T10-CF, and you know how that hurt). I've also got a Cold Steel Med Voyager Tanto partially serrated which is my everyday carry right now and while it is a very competent knife, it's a bit crude looking to wear with a suit, and frankley, just not cool enough looking. I'm also not in love with the Tanto point as I once was. AlMar makes a knife that hits almost all my points, but doesn't have a pocket clip (very important to me). The top contender I've seen on the web is a Benchmade BM690BC1
Any opinions appreciated
