Kinda wanting an Integral design for my next purchase, and wondering if y’all had any suggestions.

So far on the list are:

The Reate Jack (1 or 1.5)

BRS Eon Evolve

And the WE Synergy 2

What do you guys think?
 
I like the WE Mini Synergy very much. The handle texture and 3D contouring is sweet.

But I think my favorite is the MBK EZC 2.0. The plain and elegant design just works so well with the integral construction.

I'd love to check out the Liong Mah L-1 at some point but it's just too dang expensive for me.
 
IMO Scott Cook made one of the first, and the very best, integral folders - the Lochsa - but I have been chasing one for over a decade. Michael Raymond is a custom maker who makes integrals that are very nice. I think he studied under Scott Cook. I owned an Estrella but sold it and I regret it to this day. His integrals are also highly prized.

Agree!

The Microtech Anax is an awesome integral, as well as the Lionsteel Ti-Spine

The XLC from MBK had caught my eye at some point in time, but for whatever reason I quit liking the design after thinking about it for long enough.

The L-1 is kinda sweet. It’s probably in my overall price range, but I don’t like it quite enough to pay that kind of big bucks for it.

I wanted the one for $360, but unfortunately that money went to a Shiro…

Also seen ones for $450, $500, and even seen one for $600+ that I don’t think sold.

I’ll shoot you a PM if I ever see another for a reasonable price. I take it you’re not an exchange surfer?
