Non tactical wooden scale folder under $50?

[kingston73]

I'm looking for suggestions for a nice looking, non tactical folder under $50 with wooden scales? I guess a "gentle mans" folder? I have benchmades, a couple zt's, and a few kershaws but nothing that could be considered "dress fancy". The price is flexible and I want a locking blade, no slip joints.

Opinel. Buck 110. Those are the two classiest choices I'm aware of.

there are a couple from Lone Wolf. Im not sure of the exact models but one is the Swale. They were just discontinued by benchmade i think but they are still around and pretty cheap. They are nice heavy duty knives thou.

Buck 55, small version of the Buck 110, Case Copperlock, doesn't come with wood grips but you might like some of them anyway. There is always an Opinel 6, 7 or 8, not exactly a gents knife but wood handle and you can mod them to suit your fancy.

I second all offerings from Opinel and Buck, if the 110 or 55 are too big, or you prefer a drop point, I suggest the buck 503.

Boker Plus Exskelimoor (1= larger, 2= smaller) is wood handle and very gentlemanly, also check the Exskelibur (1 &2), its G10 but is last very elegant looking, it's got a red liner on the non-lock side that really sets it off and the 440 they use is actually pretty decent, behind Benchmades old 440 its the best I've experienced for a low budget steel.

Would a lock back work? Check the offerings from Case. They do have some wood scaled lock backs.

I'll second the LoneWolf recommendation, as well as the buck 500 series. The LoneWolf tailout knife is a nice lockback with wooden scales, also do a search for the Buck 589 it has nice burled wood scales, also a nice lockback.

It looks like the buck 110 is one you should consider, or the smaller 112. when I saw your post, that is immediatly what I thought of. Mine are great.

This. Or the Doublecross (if you can find one).

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I like those kershaws, never looked at those before. The bokers are also nice, so is the buck. I already have more choices than money to buy them!

I just got my hands on one of the 50th Anniversary 110s, just a beautiful knife.
