I am currently in my 'Sebbie wannabe' quest. I am considering a buck 172 Mayo TNT and Benchmade 635 Skirmish, both being Ti & S30V. What does Kershaw offer - past or present - that is similar? I am really wanting one nicely made knife, as much for bragging rights as anything else. Somewhere between a Leek and a JYDII in size, too. I need to stay under $200... if it runs $300+, I'm getting near Sebbie range... and I can always recycle some more pop cans...

Thanks!

PS My 'Gent's knife' quest was nicely filled by my Kershaw 1993-2 - thanks to all for those suggestions.
 
1st option:

Buy Tyrade :cool:
Personally can't see the big difference between CPM D2 and CPM S30V ;)
And... you will stay under 200$

2nd option

Buy:
- Leek Ti ZDP :D
and Random or G10/S30V Leek
And mix the parts together to get the one :D
You shouldn't go over 200$ too much.

or...

- Choose the Ti / SG2 JYD

And Sebbie? Sebbie is boooooring...

PS. You can still get the Random / Mini Task or Ricochet on ebay.
It does have 440V blade with titanium ... linerlock, but it is still good knife.
 
If you're patient, and are willing to step up from S30V to ZDP-189, keep an eye on the Exchange and the bay. Every now and then you'll find a Mini Cyclone in a Ti framelock with the ZDP blade. They are going for right at $ 200 new (give or take a little), and a little less lightly used.

But you'd better find it before I do! :D

Huh. Just found one on the bay...

Ti/zdp Mini Cyclone, right in your size range and a great knife.
 
You can always look for a Ti Bump. Great knives! Any of youse guys with multiple Ti Mini Cyclones want to sell one to this poor Ti-less kid? I grow so weary of trying to find one. The hunt is usually fun, but I feel like I'm looking for Sasquatch. I'm serious here. I'll pay what you ask. Please... Anyone? Bueller??

Edited to say that I'll pay what you ask as far as it's reasonable. $300 is a bit much IMO. I just hit the Bay all excited and see prices at almost $300. $200 okay... $300 too much.

There are couple on e-Bay right now. Too rich for me, too at almost $300.:D:D

They are "best offer" though. :thumbup:

The worst they can say is "No!". :D:D:D
 
Ti Bump? S30V and Titanium framelock, just like requested.

Even better would be the JYDII Ti/SG2.

I have the Tyrade and the JYD II Titanium SG2. They are very different knives. JYD is lighter and less substantial than the Tyrade. I like each in different circumstances but if I had to choose one it would be the Tyrade.

The Ti Bumps are fantastic. You can get them for less than $150 in many cases and they are beautiful. The problem is you might not want to mess it up!
