What folding blades to Busse fixed blade fans like to own?

I was waiting until one of these arrived so I could post in this thread (and it just arrived today).... I present to you "Thunder & Lightning"



These are friction folders by forum members Nektarios Potamianos (Nektarios) and Charles Roddenberry (Nighthaxan - Suwannee River Knife). Nektarios made me the stainless lined folder fitted with Thunderstorm Kevlar scales and Charles just completed the unlined carbon steel folder with Lightning Strike carbon fiber frame. Both makers up-sized these models for me and they fit fantastic! The NP is heavier due to the stainless liners and extra hardware and the Suwannee is a feather weight with the CF frame!!!

I know these aren't "Hardcore Tactical" folders that one would assume to pair up with a Busse blade, but Beware... when there's high friction in the atmosphere, you might find a little Thunder and Lightning.;)
 
I'm back with Spyderco and their P-Salt, Spyderedge. This one just makes so much sense; light in weight, big blade that rips thru anything and no rust.

Don't! They are even more expensive than fixed blades!!! I'm having to put myself on a self imposed intervention!!! There are just so many makers making awesome folders and they all tend to cost more, and the secondary markup on some makers is just insane! Dalibor tends to have a 100-150% markup from dealers over direct costs! That's not even getting into things like Zirc, Damascus, Timascus, etc. I have a couple that have cost me more than my satin Gladius

I was wondering what the direct cost was from Dalibor. There's no prices on his website since he's not taking orders at this time. And the sites that sell it have them for more than my mortgage payment. (I apologize if this over steps my membership limits by discussing prices. If necessary I will gladly edit this post.)
 
Cobalt! I have the new Black Pacific Salt and I just received a Spyderedge Para 1. SO nice! Pix will be in a bit. can you post some? :D
btw, Crusader Forge makes a heck of a overbuilt folder.

Yea don't think you can with your current status. But if you ever upgrade to gold, shoot me a message and we can talk!

But he opened his books up for 24 hours a while back and got 3 years worth of orders in that time.
 
These knives rotate through my EDC: Fantoni HB01, Microtech Socom Elite manual, Benchmade 630 Skirmish, Lone Wolf Harsey T-2, Spyderco C-95 Manix, Brous VR-71, Brous T-4, Benchmade Adamas, Benchmade AFCK M390, Benchmade Ares M390, Benchmade 710 M390, ZT 0900, and ZT 0452. With the exception of the ZT 0900, these are all large knives with +/- 4" blades. On my list to get are the new Benchmade Stryker, the Grayman SATU, Fox SR! and the Microtech Ultratech. I think I have more funds tied up in my knives that in my car or motorcycle.
 
Zero tolerance, Benchmade, Swiss army, and Cold steel. Few random switchblades in the mix too.

The folder usually in my pocket is one of my ZT0350's. I sent both to Phillip Dobson for custom scales, walnut on the one with the ZDP-189 edge and desert ironwood on the M390 blade.
