YOUR perfect knife?

[cutter17]

Good topic! My perfect folder would have the following characteristics;

BLADE SIZE: 4.0" X .175"
BLADE STEEL: D2
BLADE DESIGN: Clip point w/flat grind
OPENING: Thumb stud
FRAME LENGTH: 4.5" to 4.75"
FRAME DESIGN: Straight with a slightly rounded butt and finger grooves for the first two fingers to improve grip. Bolsters should slightly flair for finger protection.
FRAME MATERIAL: .100" titanium liners, titanium bolsters, canvas micarta handle. Blade, bolsters, and liners should be ceramic bead blasted.
LOCKING METHOD: Liner lock/frame lock.
CARRY METHOD: A foldover, deep carry, and short pocket clip that entirely conceals knife in the pocket. Should be mounted for tip up carry.
MISC.: Torx screw construction, 1/4" hardened steel pivot and blade stop, solid titanium backspacer, bronze phospher washers.

THAT would be my perfect folder...........................until I needed another perfect folder that is! :thumbup:

I have my perfect fixed blade: a heavily customized Ranger RD-4. It has a nice kydex sheath, a much thinner edge, and sculpted handles.

If anyone would like a similar treatment on any of their fixed blades see this:

I have yet to finder my perfect folder but I imagine it will a Spyderco.

Just get yourself the Rd-4 I mentioned. It will be much for effective than a tactical folder.
