Hello.
I'm looking for a knife meeting the following specs :
- folder
- around 2 1/2 in. blade
- very good ergonomics
- stout assembly
- thinner blade, no tac
- good stainless steel (ats34, vg10...)
- under $60
It is intended to work hard and to last long, though looking civilized.
I was considering what the market has to offer.
The Spyderco Salsa looks pleasant, particularly with reduced prices. It really seduces me, except for this cobra hook and, more important, for the aus-8 steel. I read much good things about the salsa here.
A.G. Russel offers the "ATS-34 Pocket Lockback" (G-10 or carbon fiber). Here the steel is right, but I'm suspicious about the stoutness of these carbon or G-10 scales, and I imagine it is not as comfortable as the aluminum salsa. Has anyone ever experienced this knife ?
Are there other knives meeting my expectations ?
Unfortunately, as I write, the "Search" function of the forums looks out of use.
Thanks for all feedback,
Mathias
