Hello all!
TL
R - Looking for a slip joint with modern aesthetics/materials. Titanium scales, nice blade steel.
So, my knife history goes back to 2010 when I fell in love with "tactical" folders. I quickly got into the hobby hard and spent another 8 years trying as many knives as I could from Striders, Hinderers, CRK's, Direware, customs, midtechs, etc... I loved them, but only thing I couldn't really get used to was carrying them.
I always leave my back pockets empty, I hate sitting on anything in my back pockets and I don't want to have to take stuff out of my pockets to sit down comfortably. As such, my front pockets are always set up the same.
Front left = wallet, keys
front right = phone, knife clipped to pocket
Having a large knife clipped to the same pocket as my large phone has always created a problem, but I just lived with it...Until I recently remembered slip joints that you can just drop in your pocket. I recently sold off my last "tactical" folder because, outside of fiddling with it, I didn't like carrying it.
So here is my request. I really want a slip joint knife now, but I really love the look/feel of modern folders. I am looking for something with titanium scales preferably. I really don't like the wood/bone scales or the look of more "traditional" slip joints. This knife would take the place of something like a small Sebenza 21.
Knives that I have been looking at and can probably explain the aesthetics I like more than words are thing like the J.E. Made knives, Serge Knife Co. Slip joint in titanium. My knowledge of brands/models is pretty much limited to those 2 that I pointed out. Does anyone have any other suggestions on knives I should look into?
Thank you!
