Just curious as too the opinions of the best single blade locking folder for the money on the market today.
 
Could you be a little more vague...??

Best locking folder to do.....what?

My prediction: You`re gonna get a few hundred posts that say "Sebenza!" (call me psychic)
 
For the money? Opinel!

Diffusing, dropping, sideways-darting, in tiny showers of gold,
Sparkles from the wheel.

Yeah. We need more info. I think highly of my Benchmade 730 and 705, and the new 940 looks nice

. However, if I had some more money available, I would pick up quite a few others. For example, the ubiquitous Sebenza (how about a 'Classic 2000' with wood inlays?). A little higher up would be Darrel Ralph's work. Tom Mayo has some nice stuff around the Sebenza price range. I could go on, but it gets excessive. There are a lot more, too, since the universe likes to torture me.

Best value: Benchmade Axis locks or Pinnacle.

Best period: Darrel Ralph large Apogee.

 
In my opinion a Michael Walker custom would be the best. For more reasonable pricing the Buck 110, Spyderco Starmate or the Lake & Walker from Schrade.
There is just about as many answers to your question as there is knives.

I'm the 9th poster, and I'll make Steve's prediction come true:

sebenza

Plain and simple.

Not to knock anybody's opinion, but mine is the right one

Just based upon knives which I have personally held and used, I would have to vote for the Spyderco Wegner.

For the modest money, probably the CRKT M16. For a little more, a BM 730.In between, perhaps something from Cold Steel.Please note that I am rating value, not the absolute quality of the knife.

Not sure, but perhaps it's
"thinking about that piece of f...ing s...?"
(No idea what knife was in mention, but that's what the well-worn grooves in my brain told me the acronym might be..)

What makes this so hard is that there just aren't enough to choose from.

Ouch! Dang, that's sharp!

Chris Reeve Sebenza or Buck 110, depending on how much "for" you have the money for.

Many other good knives (IMHO) have been mentioned but these two offerings just stand out as being exceptional values.
