So I ordered a Benchmade 300-1 flipper off of amazon a few days ago and it was supposed to come in today. Well it turns out Amazon can't fufill the order and they said it would be 1-2 weeks before they could ship it. Instead I just cancelled the order and have been browsing around at other options. I know I could just order it elsewhere and would have it in a few days but I've just been rethinking what I want. (I'm not sure at all) and it will not be used for anything specific just looking for a nice blade

I just got a ZT 0562CF about 4 days ago and love it so much and the flipping action is obviously on a different level than the 300-1. I'm not sure if I should go with another ZT or what.

So here is my question if you had $150 -$200 to spend on a folder. What would it be.

And I would love to hear anything besides the Paramiltary 2 because that is next on my list.

Thanks everyone.
 
For flippers:
ZT 0450CF
Reate Hills
Kizer Gemini
Freeman Button Lock Flipper
Spyderco Mantra (it's a titanium Delica with a flipper!)

For Thumbstuds:
Benchmade Griptilian 20CV
Southern Grind Spider Monkey
Benchmade Crooked River

For Holes:
We'll skip this one since you already have a PM2 up next and it's the best Spyderco in your price range...
 
I like the benchmade 940, I have the regular version, but I have heard a lot of good things about the carbon fiber/ s110v version. Not a flipper but a great edc
 
Watch the exchange for a LNIB (or save a few more and buy a BNIB):
Benchmade Knives: 908BK-1501 - Axis Stryker II - Carbon Fiber - Black Blade - Drop Point - CPM M4
I just copied and pasted the title, please excuse the wording and form.

If it was me? Well, I'm honestly pretty much happy with my folder collection for a brief second in time, so I'd order the Kizer Zugang, because that blade shape is just awesome and, well, Kizer has just been quality.
 
The Spyderco Endura is a real beast. If you want a great folder, you really don't have to look any further. It's actually cheaper than what you're looking to pay. You should be able to get one for less than $80, maybe cheaper than that if you find a sale somewhere.
 
OP - it depends on what you already have. Assuming the ZT 0562cf is the only one $100+ you have, I would suggest you look at the following big folders:

- Benchmade 710
- Spyderco military
- ZT0452cf ($220 from dealers but if you're patient, you can get it BNIB/LNIB ~$190 here at the Exchange).
 
I just stopped by Jeff Freeman's booth today at the Oregon Knife Show and handled his 451 Button Lock Folder, and was very impressed. It is probably one of the nicest flippers I have ever handled.
I will be asking my wife to get me one for Christmas (as I have already purchased a years worth of knives in about 2 months).
I was turned off by the striated blade grind, but after seeing the knife in person and noticing how well-made it is, I have made a 180 and really like the blade design overall.
 
Thanks everyone for the suggestions, i ended up buying a Benchmade 940-1 off of the forums and got it for a steal! I hope its a keeper.
 
Congrats, enjoy it.

Just make sure you grab some diamond stones to sharpen it.
