Recommendations for a spear point folder..

Tetsusaiga · Oct 2, 2006

Hi guys, i would like to hear all your recommendations for a light folder whose blade is in a dagger spear point (just like that shape, no particular usage reasons for that shape, would love to hear some though)

Blade should be 3-3.5" (I can live with slightly longer) preferably VG-10, equivalent or better, not particular about scales, assisted opening would be good but not strictly necessary, not particualr about locks. About $60ish..

I know the first few that come to mind would be the Pardue BM530 and the Ka-Bar Dozier 4059.

Just wondering if there are any more??

Thanks..

Is not VG10 but I got an AUS8 CRKT M16-13E spear point and it's very good for the price, it's my only spear point knife but I'm thinking about getting another one soon, that blade shape is great!

It's a little smaller than what you were looking for (just over 2.5") but the Spyderco Native is a great little knife. In S30V, VG10 or AUS10.

The Native's blade actually exceeds 3"(at least mine does by about 1/16"). It has a cutting edge of about 2.5".

I've got the Native and the Al Mar does seem to be beyond my budget. Any other recommendations??

How bout a Benchmade 14200?

Tetsusaiga · Oct 4, 2006

wow.. never seen that BM before.. looks good..

unfortunately, it also costs like 2 times my budget of $60ish...

How about a Lone Wolf T1 or a SOG pentagon? Or a Gerber Apple gate Fairbain.

Sorry didn't notice the budget. For what it's worth, the Waved Endura and Delica have arguably better steel than the BM 14200.

I second the Benchmade 530.

Spearpoint, Axis Lock, in your price range, great carry knife.
Blade 3-1/4.

Columbia River VOODOO might be just what you're looking for ($70.00). I love mine and I've never really liked Columbia River or assisted openers. I love the stoutness it has and the handle fits me like a glove in every grip. The steel is 154cm. I removed the rubber inserts and added a bead blasted benchmade pocket clip. I've had and traded almost every production knife made (no exageration), but this on I'll be keeping.

Sounds like you're describing a Browning Ice Storm.

CRKT M16-13Z, usually can be had for less than $30. I like mine that's for sure. Some people don't like CRKT but for $30 it's nice.
