Hi, I'm looking for a classy traditional to help round out my as-yet meager collection. I have some Spydercos (Delica, bug and Dragonfly) and a Zancudo D2 framelock and the only knives that I have now that I would consider to be in the traditional category are a SAK Cadet and an Opinel #8 Stainless. I guess I'm looking for a "Grandpa's knife".
From the time I've spent with my current knives I have learned that I don't mind two-handed opening or closing but I'm not fond of nail nicks for opening. Also I don't mind spending some money for something that's really nice as long as the blade is less than 2.5 inches long to comply with local laws. A US-made knife would be nice. I have nothing else US-made at present except my Leatherman first year PST.
Of what I've seen so far the Three Rivers LTC Nomad is a knife that would fulfill my needs but I wanted to ask you folks for suggestions first to see if I can find something a tad more "traditional".
Thanks
