Smooth Titanium Handle Version.

Looks pretty good and sturdy. Anyone got any experience with them?

Also, it seems like they've introduced more models to their heavy "Stainless Frame lock" folder series;

I've got no use for recurves but the materials and price are solid on that first one, all things being equal. Which won't be the common opinion here, since Zombie-Schrade isn't looked upon too fondly. The Mini looks a solid value at 14 bones too, if one needs a cheap workhorse in that size range.
 
The first two look pike the Böker Sal Monaro (spelling is definitely off) collaboration. Really awesome to see Schrade using good materials like D2, titanium, and 9Cr though. I might not be ashamed to buy a (modern) Schrade soon enough!
 
Dont like no nightmare grinds, dont want no tanto folder, prefer Spydie holes and flippers to thumb studs - guess I wont be buying a Schrade any time soon;)

I sorta, kinda like the spear point blade apart from the thumb stud.
 
I'd really like to know how well the flippers flip. For the price, I would assume not too particularly well... I have concerns about lockup too. Very interested in hearing some first- hand accounts on these. Budget folders are my jam.
 
There is another interesting design coming out from the new Camillus too:

It is called the Jolt and it is based off Will Zermeno's Azrael folder.

I was interested in it until I saw how the blade-to-handle-ratio was. (3.25-inch blade in a 5.5-inch handle.)

It has a D2 blade and carbon fiber handle scales.
 
anyone else notice the weight? Normally that doesn't bother me, but i prefer my pants around my waist if possible. 10.6 oz for 3.7 inch blade?
 
Wish that d2 folder had a nice drop/spear point blade. It would be a steal at the $66 it's going for on Amazon right now. I'm considering one even with that blade profile.
 
It looks like only the first is actually titanium handled. The rest seem to be Ti coated stainless, which is a bit silly. Like Buck's cf-look aluminum.
 
I must say, it is at least nice that Taylor Brands is trying to take a step up in the knife world. Working with some actual designers and producing some fairly solid knives at fair prices is going to go a long way to restoring legitimacy to the brand. They're not out of the woods yet, and I know they'll always have their cheap mall ninja models (because, let's face it, they sell) but this is yet another step in the right direction and I commend them for it.

They are out of the woods. Years ago I would never have considered them. Friends and family started getting the large fixed blades for their more demanding knife tasks and not only do they hold up fine, but they hold up fine for some of the worst actual use of a knife I've seen. I've got friends who have all the expensive best warranty knives ever made and won't do half the stuff they do to their schrade with them. The performance you get for the price paid can't be ignored by me. They obviously put out a great knife if so many people voted for one for people's choice award winner. I just got my son the SCHF36 and I know now why it won. Compares closely to a BK2 with a better more useful grind and just as tough for much less money spent.
