Since quite many of this forum's writers have shown to like slipjoints I have decided to give this type of knife a new chance, as much as I like lockbacks. My favorites of those that can be had at short notice are:
Enzo PK 70, scandi grind, g-10 handle with bolsters. Anything with a clip is out. I have taken the habit of removing clips of almost every knife I own, I find them uncomfortable when holding the knife.
Laguiole with olive tree handle, the slimmest of my choises and might be too fragile for serious work.
Queen Cutlery gunstock. I don't usually like two-blade knifes (an exception is SAK), but this one looks quite nice. Queen cutlery has a repution of sending their knives less than sharp, so I have read and that might be a big minus.
Case Cutlery sway back Jack, another two-blade.
Case back pocket folder.
These are the ones that I have narrowed my choise right now. Of course I am open to suggestions. My favorite so far is Enzo because of the half-stop, overall sturdy construction and last but not least a scandi blade. Also it is legal to carry in GB and other European countries (not where I live, police and law take a dim view of carrying any knife in public except if you are a construction worker and need a knife in your work).
Because of the forum rules I might be forbidden to mention the shop where I usually buy, lets just say it is a Finnish web shop...
