New guy here. Wife wants to get me a nice knife for Fathers Day. I know nothing about knives, I generally carry an inexpensive Kershaw for daily cutting task and oilfield work.
My general requirements would be:
Ambidextrous: Opening & Carry
3-4" Quality Blade
G10 Handle/Grip (Not sure of the correct term here sorry). Needs to be very grippy.
I think that the two knives listed meet my criteria, but which would you suggest?
I do not know how the differences in steel will affect usability over the long term. I understand that the 0561 has some kind of bearing system, but do not know if that would be a detriment in that case of the knife getting really dirty or dusty.
I am also open to other suggestions in this price range.
Thanks!
