Need help finding a knife

[Hummel12345]

Everyone in this forum seems to be very knowledgable with regard to knives, so I'd like some input on my future knife!

I am looking for an EDC folding knife that can not be opened with one hand (either through a thumb-hole like Spydercos have, assisted opening, or by flicking your wrist, etc.) due to statutory restrictions.

I'd like one for myself, and another one for my girlfriend if anyone has a good suggestions for that too. She'd prefer a "female-looking" knife with some color... Budget is less than 100$/knife.

If you have a good suggestion for a fixed blade with a blade length of less than 4.5 inches, I'd be interested in that, too, however, primarily I want a folder as described above. Or just try to convince me of going with a fixed blade over a folder

Thanks!

Kershaw makes quite a few knives that fit your criteria.

like the Black Horse II

Thanks. I forgot to add that I'd like a pocket clip

SOG's are a good inexpensive, quality blade, but I am not sure if they have any that fit your "cannot be opened with one hand" criteria. Most of their folders are under $100.

Gerber is another possibility.

Both have a large selection. Go to their website for entire selection and detailed description. Haven't seen any that are pink, powder blue or other appropriate female colors but I can proudly say I have not looked for any in those colors.

Kershaw is an excellent choice, I have several. Generally speaking I would look for a high carbon steel blade (stainless is nice but are more difficult to sharpen), they are easy to keep a good edge on and the edge will last a long time unless you are outright busing it.

Would your girlfriend prefer a multi-tool for EDC? I was thinking something like the Gerber Curve in pink (breast cancer support) might be up her alley.

that looks awesome, but I think she will prefer something a little bigger, as her desire for a EDC came up when she saw my Spyderco. I'd have to check if she'd prefer a multi-tool for EDC, but I guess if she does it should be a knife-centered multi-tool like the leatherman skeletool or something.

Are you considering this for self-defense as well and utilitarian cutting around the home and job?


If so, I would seriously look at the Cold Steel series Recon 1

Cold Steel® Recon 1™ Tactical Folder with Partially Serrated Blade

The knife will be primarily used for utilitarian purposes, and while the one in your link looks great, it can be opened one-handedly, so it is out of the question unfortunately.

Ahh, ok, that's probably too small then.

We got two :D

What I forgot in my first post is that it should have some kind of locking mechanism (axle, liner, pretty much anything is ok)
