I'm looking into getting myself a new folder, and during my research, I've come across an axis-alike folder made by schrade.
while I've seen reviews of schrade fixed blades and traditionals, I can't find any reviews on their more modern folder designs.
does anyone have any reviews? or informed opinions on how good (or not) the knife is?
the particualr model in question
 
I don't know about that particular knife, but I'm inherently suspicious of anything from Taylor Cutlery.

Why not just drop £60 on a Benchmade Griptilian or ColdSteel Recon I.
 
Definitely a decent cheap EDC. Personally, I would go with the Timberline Vallotton.

I was impressed with the quality of this under $40 knife. AUS-8 steel and powerful spring assist. Solid G10 handle and great blade. It is one of my EDCs. Both the Schrade, which one of my friends actually owns and carries, and the Timberline Vallotton would be decent choices.
 
Looks an awful a lot like a hybrid between a BM 580BK and SOGs arc lock. I'd be hesitant to buy anything made by Taylor Cutlery, who manufactures Schrades knives.

unfortuneately, as a student, I don't have a spare £60 to spend on knives.
I'm lucky if my budget can go much past £30.

unfortuneately I can't find the Vallotton you show in the UK. but the vallotton kickstart is a possibility. since it's AO I'm quite tempted, I've allways wanted to try an AO knife.
 
It's a knock-off of a Benchmade Barrage. Not cool if you ask me. :(
