Hey all,
I apologize in advance if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I'm new here.
A quick rundown: I'm in the market for a quality EDC folding knife. I'm planning on doing a few week+ hikes in the mountains next year also, and this blade will be my go-to for heavy use out there as well.
I've done a lot of research and have determined a few things. Firstly, fixed blades are better for wilderness adventure. The problem is, a fixed blade wouldn't work for me to carry every day in the city so a folder it is. Second, it seems like Cold Steel has struck a really great value/price balance so I've been focusing most of my attention on their line.
I have large hands but am not considering anything sized XL thus far. The models I'm interested in are the Recon1 clip point, AK-47, and the Code 4 tanto. I realize that it comes down to personal preference and I'm not here to ask which of those three I should go for. I'm more interested in other quality knives by different makers in a similar price-point to those I mentioned. What would you carry if you were me?
Any help is appreciated. I'm glad I found this community and I can see this new interest of mine becoming an addiction..
