[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 2367906, member: 7815"] Basically agree with EZ Bake. The $45 - $60 range is the sweet spot of Cold Steel's lineup, value wise. Their Tri-Ad lock is tough as nails, I love it. If you can carry a thicker knife, seriously consider the [U]Voyager[/U] series, which was redesigned in 2011. The [B]Large Voyager[/B] clip point (4" blade) is an extremely well designed and versatile larger folder. It is big and capable, yet legal in a lot more states than Cold Steel's signature XL type folders with 5"-plus blades. And it weighs in at just 4.6 oz, really light for such a substantial knife. The trick is that the Grivory (zytel/plastic/whatever) handles are reinforced with metal liners, but the liners are anodized aluminum not steel. In my experience this works perfectly. Link: [url]http://www.coldsteel.com/Product/29TLC/VOYAGER_LG_CLIP_POINT_PLAIN_EDGE.aspx[/url] Another nice thing about the Voyagers: the blades have a tasteful and fairly corrosion-resistant stonewashed finish; they don't come with the tacky cheap black Teflon coating that many of CS's knives use. The G10 handled Cold Steel models may seem sexier, but the Voyager is so practical. It's the sleeper in the lineup. It is really secure and tough. (Go with the Large unless you have smaller hands; the Medium is a little cramped in the grip area.) I have seen Large Voyagers online for around $45 lately. That is an insanely good buy. [/QUOTE]
