Hey all,
this is my first post, definitely won't be my last.
I am looking for the "perfect folder."
I know this means many different things to many different people, so here goes nothin...
I'd like it to have D2 steel or something equally tough. I'm not worried about corrosion as I take good care of my weapons/tools.
I'd like it to have a very pronounced finger stop. Don't want to risk my hand sliding up towards the blade if stabbing is required.
I'd prefer it to lock open and closed. Minimize the risk of it opening in case I take a tumble and closing on my fingers from hard/akward use.
I'd like it to be all steel (or similar strength metal). I've seen G10 melt and crack (no thank you) and just prefer the toughness of steel to aluminum.
A good warranty is very much preferred, especially if it's $100+
I am not concerned about weight.
lets try to keep it under $400.
lets try to keep it under 6 inches closed.
MADE IN AMERICA please.
I work on a farm and use my knife 10+ times a day, for some of the most random tasks one can think of. Right now I use the Kershaws from walmart that are $20 for two and needless to say, they do not last (but are cheap so I don't feel bad destroying them. This is where a good warranty comes in handy).
I'm very interested to see what everyone comes up with and I greatly appreciate everyone's input!
