Hi everyone
I know this can be answered at bladeforums.com as well, but I trust the people here to be un-biased. I need a folder (only one) and here are my requirements:
2.5-3.5 inch blade
EDC
Good steel (obviously)
Less than $60
Lawful in NJ/Pennsylvania (Toothpicks are against the law in NY and I will refrain from carrying anything in to the city)
One handed opening
Dont want to draw attention to myself
My short list (priced low to high with my rating next to it):
Catbyrd at $30 2
Spyderco Tenacious at $30 1
Spyderco Native at $50 4
Kershaw Mini Cyclone at $50 3
Kerhaw Lahar at $60 6
Kershaw RAM at $60 7
Benchmade Mini Gryptilian at $60 5
Im leaning very strongly towards the Tenacious and the Mini Cyclone. I like both blade shapes (the Mini Cyclone being the coolest) but Im pretty careful about the authorities and their view on assisted openers.
Which one would you choose?
Advice would be appreciated
Thanks,
Gideon
