Recommend your favorite show-off folder

[mlanghornes]

Alright guys, after enjoying my knife obsession solo for a while, I reconnected with an old buddy of mine who is also apparently into knives and guns. What I'm looking for is a folder to basically show off. I'm not making any pretenses of an honorable motive here, thus is pure braggadocios, something of a "measuring contest", if you will. Thing is, the price has to be under $200, no Sebenzas need apply. So go for it. Any type of folder, traditional, gentleman's, tactical, slicer supreme,just whatever you carry when you want to show off.

spyderco sage 1 or leafstorm

Spyderco Valletton.

 

[Dah-Dee]

Sounds like you should visit the "Pocket Tanks" thread, then scour the sale forums for a good deal on one of those monsters

Here's one of mine:

Ontario XM-1:

I'm sure a ZT 200 or 550 would also go over pretty well

 

[Bigfatts]

That would be this guy, big bold and beautiful:

 

[Chipped Karambit]

Spyderco wins in this category lol. I suggest you check out the starmate it but the valleton is great

 

[A.P.F.]

Spyderco Valletton.

What he said.

 

[frenchmade]

Benchmade Subrosa

 

[shqxk]

ZT0561 or Military M390 CF

 

[BladeChick777]

I Have a few suggestions.

Spyderco Sage 1
Spyderco Sage 2
Spyderco Valletton
Spyderco Chokwe - Everyones eyes pop when they see mine. =]
ZT 0550
Benchmade Subrosa
Benchmade LFTi
Benchmade Shoki

 

[Czechmate]

That Vallotton is sweet; I really need to get one!

I'd go for big and beefy:

Or more refined with excellent materials:

 

[BladeChick777]

Or a Blue M390 Paramilitary 2!!! That would be an awesome show off knife lol.

 

[dakine]

ZT301, cmon TIGER STRIPE!!

 

[Poez]

Benchmade 805 or 806. They are great!

 

[Charlie Mike]

Some people think what I did to my Skirmish devalued it so...

Double edged, waved, converted to tip up, Demko Ti spacer, larger screws.

 

[Seanifred]

you can score a custom slippie here for around that price

 

[Piper Maru]

For sure go with, a PCC barry wood folder, spyderco leafstorm. Most of all a thita damascus folder, or balisong if you want to get some overkill. William henry makes some amazing damascus folding knives, and also for affordable folders, a co wood handles damascus mcusta knife.

 

[fatherhudson]

non knife people always love my BM 940 for some reason. They never think my spydercos are expensive knives . . . dunno why. What about a bradley alias or a ZT 0550/0560? titanium is always impressive and a lot of people have never seen a knife made out of it.

 

[collecter]

A couple knives that i think are fun to play and coud be a bit showy would be a Mikov automatic and the cold steel 4" Ti-Lite.

 

[orca8589]

Mine aren't very expensive at all: the Cold Steel Spartan & large Ti-Lite IV get a lot of comments - the Ti-Lite is my summertime grill knife. My other large "show-off" knives are the Ontario Hossom Retribution, and CRKT M21 in grey anodized aluminum.
