Babakanoosh recommended Queen Cutlery, I like the style price and steel...
but I want to see what else is out there.

If any of you know any knives with similar specs let me know.

Carbon steel, like 1095, d2 or or 0-1..

Lockbak or slipjoint

Not made in china

Jigged bone, or any bone scales.

A good camp, EDC slip joint. I want to pass this down.

Thanks in advance.

GEC Scout or Pioneer. I've got a scout trapper myself, it's nice. It's a pretty substantial slippy.

+1 on that. I've got the scout in stag, fantastic knife that'll be a great heirloom to pass down to one of my boys. (Or my daughter Chapel. She's 8 & already loving her Boker trapper, loves to whittle with Daddy!)

The new case CV steel knives are really nice and reasonably priced. I got a few recently and am very pleased. Good fit and finish, nice springs, flush springs open closed, sharp out of box, nice scales. I am enjoying carrying and using them. Heck you could get 2 for your budget. If you like the wharncliff blade can t beat the swayback jacks that are getting alot of positive feedback here. I have a congress and stockman that are both very nice too. I belive CV is a carbon steel (my blade is showing some staining!).

Yeah, the Case CV Medium Stockman in amber jigged bone or chestnut is the supreme EDC knife.

I haven't bought from TSA but recently saw a thread here on BF with very good remarks about them.

I've bought my GEC's from www.collectorknives.net , www.cumberlandknifeworks.com , and www.knivesshipfree.com

Good experiences with all three dealers.

Sweet. Thanks for the help. I think I'm going to go with a queen in 1095.

How about a GEC No.73 Liner lock in carbon? Some decent scales available.

TSA have served me heplfully.

Don't forger to look into Böker's range of Traditionals too. Many are still German made.

Schatt&Morgan Harness Jack in carbon could suit too.

haven't done much with it yet, but the teardrop linlerlock from Queen in D2 is going lots of places with me

To answer a question posed, Greg at TSA is just great: ships immediately; answers email questions very quickly. I would do business with him anytime.
