At this point, it's probably helpful to review the OPs criteria:
- Flawless execution/FF
- Great materials
- Mid tech maker under $500
- Readily available/Obtainable (no limited production or long wait lists)
- Versatile design and look
Does the Buck 110 really hit the first point?
A solid knife for sure, but does it rise to flawless in the way a Sebenza does ?
The same for Case/Bose... I don't own one so looking for opinions here.
Of all that's been suggested in this thread so far, I vote for a Moki.
Has anyone suggested an Al Mar?
Randall was suggested, but the wait list can come into play... Otherwise, I think it's a great choice, just not a folder.

, are we limited to just folders?
