What folders are the Beckerheads carrying?

[Chalet]

That's definitely the one I'm leaning towards. I like the 560 more but the 350 has a more attractive price. It'll be a while before it's something I can afford, though. I start nursing school in a couple of months and the expenses are significant for the things I need before it begins.

FWIW, the 0200 is still a really nice heavy duty knife - and they're available frequently for about the same $$ as the 0350. When the time comes that you have it in your budget, IMO the 200 is WAY more knife for the money, even if the blade steel isn't as high zoot.

And Ulf; if you have so many knives, why is that cat still alive? I keed, I keed. Nice collection.

When I see somebody thinking about getting an 0350, I can't help but recommend the KW exclusive in M390. I'm really surprised that they haven't sold out, yet. For the price of a used 0560, it's practically a no brainer.

I just picked up a Carson Tech Boiling; and am tentatively impressed. It will get some pocket time; but I'm not sure if it can displace the 0200 long-term. Here it is sandwiched by my 0560 and a Military:

Thank you for the info GSOM and HHMoore, definitely things to consider!

Beautiful knives you guys.

Huh? You saying I'm careless or referring to the little one almost getting a knife up it's nose when I take a pic with her in it?

Thanks. You too. I'm especially jealous of the modded 7 you got.

That Carson Tech Boiling is at a descent price for the quality of knife it is is it not? Like $200-230? Saw one for sale on the exchange and was very much contemplating buying it. How do you like it?

I think about $220, new; but the site that sells them is out. I grabbed the one from the Exchange
It is (faintly) marked 3rd Anniversary, 2014

How do you like it?

If you want a better response than the "tentatively impressed" posted above, your going to have to give me some time with it. When I said I just picked it up, I did mean JUST - it was in today's mail.

Yeah that's a price that catches my eye. S35vn blade, really cool looking lock. Like it.

Wonder if you got the same one I was looking at. Sux the stores out.

Aw. Yeah report back, meant it when said really thinking about getting one. Everything I'm looking for in size and features.

Just got this guy and I absolutely love it. I broke 2 leatherman waves on the job site over the last 2 years and only time will tell if this puppy will stand up to the abuse. Wish it had a pocket clip tho. Sog knives kinda suck in my experience but their multi-tools seem very well built. You can customize what tools you want in it, all the tools lock, and it has gear driven pliers. I cut a 3x131 framing nail in half with the wire cutters! I don't think my wave coulda done that (although there would never be a need for such a stupid thing to do)

I know it's not exactly a folder but it has 2 outside accessible spring assisted blades so I use it as a EDC folder.

Don't know if it'll fall apart on me, but as of now I am extremely impressed with it. The spring assist blades are dumb and they'll probably be gunked up with tire patch and zip tape flashing in a month, but i still like it. It's big.

Heavily used Cold Steel rajah 3 for days off work. Indestructible. 3 years of constant abuse and it just begs for more, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat if anything happened to it. Kind of a weird/pointless blade shape, but it's broad enough to keep the tip tough enough for light prying. Love the wave feature too, faster than an auto

The Rajah 3 is beastly. I love mine and it fits nicely in my pocket. It looks chunky but it carries as well and any other knife I have.

I love mine. It's my first and only cold steel so far and I couldn't be more impressed, even if it started shitting me Tiffany cuffinks. I'm extremely hard on my knives (which is why I have such huge respect for beckers) and I gotta say after 3 years of beating the living crap out of this thing, it's as strong as ever. Zero play in the blade or lockup.

I did however break the thumb plate/wave thingy off while batonning it through a thick piece of bamboo, but that was my fault for accidentally hitting it directly on the thumb plate. Cold steel sent me a new thumb plate and screw no question and I got it in 4 days.

I love that they're inexpensive enough that you can really abuse them and not worry. My girlfriends dad used it to pry up a Loose ceramic tile a few months ago and there was zero damage to the tip. I'm thinking of re-grinding the spine to a clip point shape. I love this guys mod on the rajah 2:

Sold a lot of my high end folders last winter and always missed my PM2. Girlfriend got me this without even knowing...she just did some internet research and this blade was recommended. Booya!

Picked up a Spyderco Manix2 LW in S110V and its kicked my beloved Delicas out.

Repainting and recarpeting the domicile and decided to use my Manix instead of a razor-blade type utility knife - WOW, cuts carpet like butt... no, not that smooth but you definitely notice the difference.

It also out-cut my 15 and 24.

My two general EDC folders would be a Leatherman SuperTool and CRKT M-16.
