All Purpose Folding Knife

[ppreston]

Hi,

Despite owning a number of fixed blades for hunting purposes, I do not have a folding knife. With that said, I have a trip to the BWCA coming up, and I'm curious what the Roksliders are using as their go to folding knives?

Pricing range will be <= $150

Thanks!

Paul

I carry the tried and true Benchmade Griptillian for an all purpose knife with a Havalon and four blades for when I get an animal down. I think the Benchmade compliments the Havalon well.

I have a dozen or so folding knives and the one in my day pack is a Buck Lite. My favorite.

Benchmade here myself. My griptillion has been all over the world and opened thousands of mre.

Benchmade mini-grip has been my everyday carry for years. I have the griptillian too but it feels too big for my pocket.

Case Copperlock. Scary sharp and easy to resharpen. Slim in the pocket and relatively lightweight. My all time favorite.

Spyderco Tenacious is my favorite for everday stuff.

Buck 110. My dad gave me one and I love it!

carried a benchmade griptillian for a while, just picked up a benchmade north fork.

Spyderco for EDC, fits my hand better than the Mini-Griptilian..

 

[ppreston]

This is exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks to everybody who responded! It looks like I have a bit of researching to do

Spyderco paramilitary 2 or benchmade McHenry & Williams for edc when not working. I use a spyderco delica for work eveyday. (Cheaper and doesn't make me feel guilty when I abuse it)

I am really liking the McHenry & Williams, but it doesn't come "cheap"!

 

[b.roberts]

Nope, not cheap. But it is an awesome knife.

i think it is very odd that my taste in knives changed so much..i used to LOVE all things Benchmade. i think that AXIS lock was such a game changer. i have a BM eliszhwitz that is the absolute bomb. so tough!! gutted a pig with it and it was a big mistake. i had blood/fat/gristle deep in the crevices of that knife. haha..made cutting the office avocado open a weird event..

ended up sending that knife in for service. they put a bushing on the hinge that made it so much more stable and smooth..i honestly didnt know there was a problem.

i also find some of the steels tough to sharpen if i do something dumb and get it way dull. i heard the new HUNT edition folders with the new powdered S30V is much easier to hone with home tools.

NOW? i have a bug up my butt to carry vintage knives. i carry a CASE stockman from the early 70's and an Old Timer from the same vintage. i love the OT because the steel is some carbon steel.

i dig the new but old looking folders that company GEC is putting out.

I have a Benchmade bone collector folder. If you are looking for a good budget knife check out the CRKT M-21, it is my new everday carry knife.

For hunting I'm carrying the Lone Wolf folder. Good sharp blade and with some work can be found under $40.
