[DanDonovan]

i have a little cash to spend and i was wondering if you guys could shoot me some ideas for a knife?

Cold Steel Recon 1

 

[Chris Pierce]

Cold Steel Spartan

The Recon 1 is a Medium sized knife if you ask me

 

[flatblackcapo]

what do you meen by big?If you are talking a 3 1/2 - 4" blade I am loving my RAT 1 and it is WAY under 100 bucks.

Cold Steel makes a lot of very big folders under $100. Spartan, Rajah II, XL Voyagers to name a few.

 

[brandonc]

Spartan or XL Voyager. In my opinion these are "large", under 3.5-4" blade is more "full-sized".

 

[Bigfatts]

I will suggest anything over CS, I've had terrible luck with them. Look at the HK line of folders made by Benchmade. The Conspiracy is a nice looking framelock that can be had for $65-75. The Kershaw JYD is also a fine knife.

 

[Mika]

Definitely check out the large and x-large offerings by Cold Steel.

 

[djjonny]

My Favorite Large CS folder is the Spartan, but there's also the Rajah 2 and L to XL Voyager.

 

[JayGoliath]

CS Voyager XL.

Go to the EXCHANGE and find an ANIB Gayle Bradley with CPM M4 steel for about $100-$120. That's what I'd do, and have been thinking a lot about it. The Spyderco Gayle Bradley is a Much-Loved knife around here.

 

[hung-solo]

for rugged as hell knife with Aus 8 steel under $40 go look for a RAT 1 Ontario Folder. rock solid and good blade. i love mine and its been through hell and back

 

[Random Dan]

Spyderco Manix 2 XL.

 

[douginoshawa]

I just got a Manix 2 (normal G-10 with 154CM blade), and it's one pretty beefy but strong knife, and it was under $100. Spyderco makes awesome knives if you ask me, and for a good "work horse", I'm sure you'd definitely be happy with a Manix 2

Buck/TOPS folders....as beefy as it gets

 

[Bill1170]

Rat-1 for economy and Endura for more money, both well within your range.

 

[bdmicarta]

Rat-1, Kershaw Blur, Spyderco Endura/Paramilitary 2/Military, Benchmade Griptilian, Cold Steel Recon 1

I bought a Ka-Bar Dozier Bobcat for my brother-in-law and he absolutely loves it. It's a big solid knife, decent steel, and backed by Ka-Bar.

I Can Recommend A Few:
Spyderco Manix 2
Spyderco Manix 2 XL
Spyderco Resilience
Spyderco Paramilitary 2
Spyderco Military - Check The Exchange You Can Often Have One For $100 Or Less.

And There Are Many Others But These Are The Ones I've Been Most Impressed By.
