Help me pick a new knife ($120)

[Ambu]

Hey guys, so I've got ~$120 to blow on a new knife. I'm considering branching out into Spyderco as I've owned a variety of Benchmades and love them all, but I want to try something new.

What should I look at?
I'm wanting a decent sized folder, similar in size to full-size benchmade models (Griptilian, etc)
I don't want any of those crazy ass serrated models

Other than that I'm really open to suggestions

Edit: I'm also open to ZT suggestions

Not a Spyderco expert here, but if you want something different you may look at a Zero Tolerance 0350. Very nice knife if you ask me.

Brad will be at the Lafayette show next weekend on Sept 29,30. You should go and fondle some of his Benchmade and Spydies. I am sure he has a knife just for you to take home....


Edited....... Brad also has Zero Tolerance knives in stock too.... ZT's are some bad ass knives...

I like the looks of it and the price. I've been wanting to try it as well. Is it available in non-spring assist?

Some you could look at, but might be a bit higher than your desired price.

Manix, Manix II
Para-military, para-military II
Spyderco Sage is a little smaller than what you said, but in S30V steel and Titanium scales it is quite a nice piece. I've got one for sale.

Love my ZT0350. The spyderco police and the paramilitary are sweet too.

I have a Kershaw Burst. You could buy 5 and still have cash left over.

 

[cyprant]

I have to vote for my newest purchase... Kershaw speedform II with Elmax steel. Check it out

 

[Shoots4Fun]

Love my ZT0350.

I love mine too.

It goes with me everywhere I go that's it's legal...

If you can wait a couple weeks, you might be able to get your hands on one of these.

I picked up my Spyderco Gayle Bradley for $128. The blade is CPM-M4, and the knife has been phenomenal as an EDC.

And yes, M4 isn't stainless. A little bit of oil and cleaning on a regular basis and you'll be fine.

Second that Benchmade! I got one from Brad during a 1500. Money well spent!

Spyderco Paramilitary 2 is a workhorse.

Well, I've never heard of anyone asking for help for picking a new wife before. I've got a list around here somewhere.

Is this a defense knife you are looking for? I carry a Cold Steel Spartan big but sharp as can be and you wont be breaking it any time soon. Blade rusts easy because of the metal they made it out of but other than that amazing knife.

 

[mrtdrew]

If youre looking for a spyderco I would reccomend the ParaMilitary Endura Tenacious and Police they are all great knives.
