I’d like one that’s in line with my sense of knife aesthetics and not with the European knife law.
One to wear wherever I can.
Here’s a list of absolutely mandatory things it must fulfill:
1. Blade length about 3″-3,5″ – it should sit comfortably within a jeans pocket.
2. Deep Deep Carry clip. One of those where only the clip sticks out (if that’s available in the aftermarket, I’d be happy to purchase knife and clip seperately).
3. Front and back must be made of the same material. I can’t abide a titanium back and a G10 front.
4. Opening must be a smooth operation. Some kind of flipper would be nice.
5. It must be ‘Use a hammer to drive it into a tree and then stand on it’ sturdy.
6. Some nice steel for the blade – something equal to or better than S35V.
7. I don’t really care about the nature of the locking mechanism – it must be well made.
Please do not recommend anything that’s not in line with these seven points.
My budget is not exactly limited, but I don’t want to spend crazy money.
