You have $800, what folder do you get with it?

I don’t think I would drop 800 on a knife.
A Millie and a Delica with a 22lr … then idk a bottle of gin and take the kids to a water park.

I really like the look of olamic, maybe I could go that route.

That simple. No restrictions or specifications. I want to know what you would want at that price point...

UPDATE: I forwarded my reply (Post #3 above) to my wife. I've got a birthday coming up, and I think she's game!
So in my case your thread title could've been: "Your wife has $800. What folder would you have her get for you?"
LOL. I'll keep you updated... Fingers crossed!
 
With $800, I'd totally go for the Spyderco Paysan! It's an amazing knife, perfectly balanced with a titanium build. The blade is made from S90V, super sharp and durable. I love this knife, use it daily, never let me down. 😄

If you're into something more "tactical," check out the Benchmade Anthem. Also titanium, with AXIS Lock, super smooth action! 😁

Yes very good recommendation, I almost forgot about the Paysan. Might have to add this to the shortlist. Thnx!

If you can find one for $800, the Nirvana would be the better purchase.

Too many reported lock stick problems w/the Paysan. I owned 1 and sold it because of that. 🤷‍♂️

If I'm being honest they're both far too large for my taste. I prefer a gentleman's knife size, about 2.75" - 3.25" blade max. Don't get me wrong, I respect and appreciate both, they're just not for me.

With that qualification, I'd suggest the Oz Machine Co. Roosevelt (a/k/a Rosie). I don't think you can buy a better small knife at any price. Impeccable quality, USA made, fantastic action, and the best ergonomics on a 3" blade knife I've ever experienced. Honestly, it has better ergos than most 3.5+" knives. The only caveat is that the blade stock is quite thin for excellent slicing, but definitely not for hard use.

I would love to, but I've never seen one for sale or trade that wasn't 1300 or more.

To each their own but the Nirvana is a superb knife &, size-wise, it's right in the "sweet spot" for me. ;)

There's one on the Exchange right now, with mods and an extra scale, for $1025. They come up fairly frequently in the $800-900 range if you keep your eyes peeled.

Thread '*Update* Full DLC Oz Roosevelt'

*Rosie and Zaan sold, more below (Uldanov, Holt Prestige, BBM, Kevin Wilkins, ABW1 Buttonlock, Lukas-P)*

Oz Roosevelt #2109
Magnacut blade, contoured clip
Full DLC by Ted/RCO
Black Pearl Camocarbon scales by Kenyon (w/ COA)
Awesome detent and action
If you had asked me yesterday I would have said it's mint but after some intensive, pre-sale scrutiny today under super bright lights, I found a tiny scuff on the clip, maybe some very minor discoloration inside the pivot screw, and one tiny shiny spot on the original Ti DLC scale (not installed). 9/10 people would see it as perfect but I'm...
