Help me out guys..
These are the ones that I have already:
555 Mini Grip
556 Mini Grip
705 McHenry and Williams
805 TSEK
..all of these have a plain edge..

What next? 710, Ritter RSK or other ??
 
Hmm, looks like you've got small and large tacticals, so I'd say...something gent-ish. How about a 94x? Or a 921? Excellent blades.
 
I'd say that you NEED a 710 to go along with your little 705, or a 551 to go with your 556!.:).
 
Glockman - great advice on the 805. Lovely knife.

I am thinking S30V Grip or 154CM 710 , but can't really choose.

Now you see why the 805 is my favorite folder, and why I have a pair of 'em.:).

I sure wish that Benchmade would come out with a "Mini-805"...That would be COOL!.:).

Glockman, there was a mini TSEK, but since your a south paw, IIRC, it doesnt have AXIS.

The model 813 was (sort of) a Mini-TSEK. I had one, but it was a right-handed liner-lock, the "other" scale wasn't drilled & tapped so the clip could be moved to the "correct" side, and it only came with a single thumb-stud.

The blade and handle-shape was right, as was the G-10 scales with dual liners, but that was about it.

...And yes...I AM a "southpaw".
 
Im pretty hot for the Skirmish too! Its one of my current favorites.

But since youve got a Tsek go for something different like a 735 with green scales.. I just gave mine away.

940 is another sure cool design. I like the sheepsfoot blade on this model.

Of course a bali would be quite different as well.

Follow your'e heart.
 
Chan is right, follow your heart. I have a 705 and a 710 that I use all the time. I also have an older AFCK that is in the van survival kit. The next two for me are a Mini-Grip and then (following MY heart) the 921S! That 2nd blade is so appealing, that blue coating is so sexy, and partial serr for my rope cuts. :D
 
I own a TSEK Axis and I love it. I carry it more than any of my other knives. It is big but slim, sturdy as Hell, holds a good edge, and is easy to put an ultra-sharp edge on when it does get dull. I was a little leery at first, because I thought 440C wasn't the best I could get (and, in all honesty, it's not), but it has performed quite well! I give it my highest recommendation!
 
Mr Davey,
You're right about the TSEK.....I have one!

Thanks for your help guys.
I'm still leaning towards a 710 or Ritter Grip - but the little 770 looks nice too.
