Recommendation - Griptilian Alternatives

Do you still like the Neutron 2 over your crossbar lock knives?

Overall yes, but not because I necessarily like liner locks over crossbar locks. I'm just as happy with one as I am the other. I just lean more heavily towards slim and lighter knives these days just because of all the other stuff I have to carry daily for work.

Most carried knives these days are the Neutron 2, Quiet Carry Waypoint, Tactile Maverick, Spyderco Stretch 2 in k390, and the Medford Slim Midi..
 
How about Kershaw Bel Air. It's a little under the 3.5" at 3.1" but it is good. Very good. For $175 it's tough to beat IMHO.

The Hogue DEKA is a contender also, but only after buying aftermarket G10 scales. By then you'll have more $ in it than a Bel Air.




I love my RSK but it really feels like it's in a completely different weight class. RSK feels like a heavy tank compared to these. If heavy duty is preferred, then definitely the RSK. Also, It is the most comfortable-to-hold knives in my bunch anyways.
The Bel Air surprised me in a good way. It's made as well or better than any bar-lock equipped knife I own. Much better slicer than the others mentioned here. Different league in that regard.
