Tough Ti Folder

BgOutdoorSurvival · Dec 12, 2012

I am looking for a good tough, thick/beefy ti frame lock. I am only 16 so
I don't have a boat-load of money to spend right now. From what I have seen it looks
like I am going to need to wait until I am older to get one because they are all pretty expensive.
Just let me know of some good ones so I can at least start saving.

Thanks!

some of the kershaw and zt belms are pretty inexpensive compared to the non blem offerings. Other than that i dont know of any inexpensive ti frame locks. Maybe the nemesis manx or the boker subcom titanium?

Lots of money or not, the above post is right on. I've been looking at the Kershaw blem JunkYardDog blem for $55. It's not titanium, but it's a great folder and probably in your price range.

Here's the knife for you to look at...

I think you'd be delighted. The cutting edge of D2 is a great steel.

It's a knife that's not perfect due to aesthetics, but still in working condition.

Also, does it have to be a framelock? Liner locks are as strong as frame locks, and they can probably be had cheaper. The Spyderco tenacious comes to mind.

O ok. Yeah because I have a ZT 0350..which is my toughest folder right now. I was looking at the Grayman folder. But it's a little pricey for me right now.

The Dua is a helluva knife for the money.

bar none zt0300.

Its the only folder I would trust with my life and then some.

I have battoned with it and chopped down saplings.

Absolutely no play and the knife still looks barely used.

The dlc can take a beating.

just my .02

I have the 0350 which I like. It's probably my toughest folder I have
