Nice folder for gifts

jwhite75 · October 29th, 2009, 10:49 PM

Ok, I am considering purchasing a nice carry knife for my 4 groomsmen for my wedding. I would possibly like an auto, but it is not a deal breaker. I would also consider something like the speed assist on the Kershaw line. I would like to spend from 35.00 to 75.00 That is flexible however, too. Where could I look and buy online for the best prices, and does anybody have any suggestions for what to look at? Prefer smoth blade as well but maybe half serrated. I carry a Benchmade, but don't remember the model name, and have been very happy with it.

I think a Spyderco Endura would be a good buy, most autos worth buying are out of your price range.

I would go with a Spyderco Delica. You can get them for $54 at Wally World from the website and have them shipped free to the closest store for pickup. I'm not knocking the Endura at all, it's a great knife, but the Delica is a bit more "typical pocket knife" in size and would probably fit your friends a bit better unless they happen to be tactical knife-type people.

Do you want an outdoors knife or a carry knife? If you want a solid heavy outdoor knife, then check out the Kabar Mule. I received one as a groomsman gift and it's still sharp as ever. Although it's too thick to carry comfortably. For that task go with a Spyderco Endura or Delica. If you can afford it go with the zdp steel. And ebay is the best I've found price wise.

It's a little above the price range you listed but the Benchmade 585 Mini-Barrage is pretty nice. I just picked one up from bladehq.com for a good price. I've gotten a couple knives from them, they are very quick and prices are good.

I like the looks of this one any thoughts? SOG AE-01 Aegis Spring Assisted Knife (Satin PLN) - Blade HQ I have a SOG I like very much but purchased it not knowing it did not have a pocket clip. Thats why I have the Benchmade, I currently carry.

Not too shabby at all, jwhite75. I still prefer the Delica because of it's four-point carry, proven quality improvement over almost 20 years, and sub-3" blade making it legal pretty much anywhere in the US.
