I’m looking for input on some nice non-flippers for around $400. I can go higher if need be but I’d like to see if there’s anything new to me for about 4 bills.

The only “musts” are that it must be a non-flipper and I’d like the closed length to be at least 4.5”. I like bigger knives and weight is a non-issue for me.

Actually , I’m leaning toward a Large Sebenza despite the price being in the mid $500’s. I was just hoping I’d come across some decent in the $400 range.

I could really good for a Ti Military or Nirvana right about now. I’ll have to look into those Hinderer Firetac non-flippers. I also like the SOCOM Elites.
 
If autos are legal in your area, look into the ProTech Harkins ATAC. It's a D/A knife, so you can open it manually with the thumb disk, and man is it super smooth. It also has a hidden auto opening button under the inlay for an extra cool factor. I'll also throw in my recommendation for the Southern Grind Spider Monkey, it's a really smooth and ergonomic knife, and actually the one that made me love thumb stud knives again. It's cheaper than your price range, but I think there are some special editions and damascus ones that get near your price.

Awesome. I’ll check them out :thumbsup:
 
Another vote for the Umnumzaan. About as good as it gets.
 
If you have any interest in a slip joint the Lionsteel Gitano is a very nice LARGE slipjoint. I think it’s just under 4.5” closed but definitely different than your common tactical with sexy curves.
Lionsteel is the company that dethroned CRK for Blade’s “manufacturing quality “ award. Less than $150 so you’ll have some extra cash to play with

titanium liners/bolsters with CF handle

Cheburkov Strizh, hands down. They have both a titanium handled one for harder use, or a CF handled one (with inlaid liner) for lighter carry. Absolutely great knives.

I'd recommend the ones with the bronze anodized hardware, as the bead blasted version's thumbstud is a bit rough.
