Benchmade Big summit Lake. Its one of my favorites. I did switch the clip to a Southern Grind Short Clip

reserve the smaller blade at a scary sharp level for use only when you need something truly wickedly scalpel sharp...

one thing you can do is file the kick on the secondary to allow it to sink into the blade well a little bit further.
By doing this, you won't feel the secondary as much when using the main. But it will still be available when needed.

Here is a photo of a knife that had the kick filed in the manner in which I speak:

Congrats and keep us updated.
 
Check out the Camillus 23 model. Hard to find new, but there are plenty of them around.
 
Cold Steel: Lone Star or Mackinac; both come in nail nick option. Ditch the pocket clip and add a pouch.
 
Very nice!

I have a Boker Hunter in Honeycomb Bone. Middle of pic. Great knife. Was a gift from my in-laws.

The only Kabar branded folder I have is the Coppersmith Barlow. Bottom of pic. One of my favorites. Love how copper patinas fast, but can be cleaned up and started over. Just recently buffed this one bright again to start over.

Is there anything out there like that KA-BAR but with more traditional materials while retaining a thumb-stud and pocket clip? dare I even ask if there is a traditional styled knife that is a flipper or even an assisted open? I didn't wanna make my friends over at the traditional forum sick to their stomach with such a blasphemous request as I'm starting to quite like those guys over there. :D.

Benchmade Crooked River
 
No thumb stud or clip, but the Tony Bose/case collaboration (2016) might pique your interest. It has mine.
 
I put a thumbstud screw attachment on my Boker Tree Brand 2000 so it's a one-hand open now. No clip, though, and it's fairly heavy so don't go swimming with it!
 
AG Russell has some really great traditional style lockbacks... no pocket clip, one-handed operation.
AG Russell Texas Rangers Commerative folder

I'm just done with the tactical knife thing for awhile... I have MANY more knives than i'l.l be able to carry and use in my lifetime..... but now days I'm feeling a good LARGER more traditional style knife....

Now, I know NOTHING about traditional style knives, but I know I've seen a few over the years that have caught my eye....

I know the Buck 110, theres one made by Boker?.... though I don't know the name of it so I can't research it to buy....

You guys are a wealth of info, show me some larger style more traditional type folders please.... lock backs, slip joints, liner locks....as long as its hand filling and beefy!

After doing some digging, I think my very next purchase will be an AG Russell Giant Sunfish if I can track one down, they seem to be out of production at the moment, but that knife really speaks to me in silly ways!
