I’ve been lurking on the forum for a while, and have finally decided to actually get a good knife. I currently have a fake sebenza (I know, supporting counterfeits is bad), an I have grown tired of it.

I personally hate SAKs. There’s something about them that just isn’t right for me. I also don’t like the leaf shape blades of spydercos.

What I’m looking for:

1: one handed operation
2: blade length between 2.5 and 3.5 inches. It has to feel smaller than a PM2.
3: no serrations. I will also eventually carry a spyderco tasman salt.
4: price: needs to be less than $75, but I might be able to save up to buy a more expensive one.
5: pocket clip needs to be right hand tip-up carry, and preferably a deep carry clip
6: blade shape: I like drop points and clip points, but no tanto, sheepsfoot, pen knives, or wharncliffe.
