Well, I'm looking to purchase a new knife. It's been a long time since I last bought one, and I think its about time for a new one.
I'm looking for a smallish-type knife. The qualities I'm looking for include:
- Less than 3" bladelength
- One hand opening
- Decent steel
- Slim profile for pocket carry
- No FRN/aluminum handles
- $100 or less
- light weight
Clip is optional. The knife goes my front right pocket, so I need it to be slim.
The contenders so far are:
Benchmade 330, 335, 770
Spyderco Small centofante, Salsa Ti
Emerson mini-cqc7
William Henry CF Kestrel (over budget.. but nifty)
Al Mar SLB
I already have a BM 705, and a delica. I'm not really satisfied with either. The Ti Salsa looks to be a little big. The spydie mouse is too small, as is the meerkat.
Which would you recommend? Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
