I've actually reduced my "list" down to knives that are $100 (give or take a few bucks) or less. So much value in a knife like the Rat 1 or the Tenacious, they do everything I need them to for under $40. I own a PM2 and a Manix 2 and a BM 551 is on the way, and I love the lock option those knives gives you at the $100 price point. I don't feel the need to spend the crazy amounts of money for other offerings with the same locks and materials, I just cant justify it.
I'm actually getting ready to purchase something from Real Steel, the H6 Blue sheep, Bladehq and Knifecenter both have them in stock. I figure if they're putting their rep out on the line by selling these things they've got to be decent. The blade shape and size of the thing for the cost just has me drooling. And the blade is in 14c28n a steel that Kershaw regularly uses! I've watched a bunch of youtube vids on the knife, and everyone seems completely satisfied with what they got, so for the $37 price tag (KC) its a shot in the dark I'm willing to take to have another great value folder.
