Dang subject won't let me make the title longer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> oh well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Anyways, like the title suggests, I've been wanting to talk about folding knives for a long time. I know we've done some recent ones about specific folders (i.e. Spydercos), but that was a little specific.

So with out further adieu, let's talk folder favorites. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I don't know if anyone on this forum has one of these.





Microtech SOCOM Elite with a Part Serr S90V blade. 0.185in stock.

At first I was rather reluctant to use this thing. I guess, after awhile of just letting it sit in its sheath it got bored and decided to come out and slice some trees and apples and oranges. I really like it. It's pretty large. 4+ inch cutting edge and 9+ inch overall. The handles are really sweet and oddly enough extremely comfortable.

It may not be the smoothest folder in the world, but it sure opens with authority. The "rocker lock" (also .185 in thick) makes a really loud and satisfying *clack* when it hits. It's also downright sharp. I don't really care for the S90V blade, but after using the serrations to saw through wood, it's still freakishly sharp. I might have to get one in plain edge if I can find one. These are pretty rare nowadays. I think these are the only production knives to use S90V. Spyderco did use S60v in some of there older Millies or Paramillies, I think.

I'll try to get some better pics of some other folders that I have that I really like.
