Guys I want/need to buy a new utility folding knife. I work in federal law enforcement, so it will be a tool first, but needs to be ok as a backup weapon also (god help me if it comes to that). I want a 3-4 inch blade and I would like to spend $75-150. It comes in out of my pocket so much that I don’t want to hurt me too much if it was misplaced or lost. I’ve listed below a few I am considering. Lone Wolf looks really nice, nice steel, but costs the most. Benchmade looks like a quality buy for the price. ZT costs a little more for the same steel as the Benchmade but looks like a tank, but unfortunately has a tanks weight too (7.7 oz)
Benchmade 580 Barrage.- 154cm steel -84$
Zero Tolerance 0200- Blade: 154CMN Stainless-steel, Tungsten DLC coating -$127
Lone Wolf Harsey T2 Tactical Folder 3.9" S30V Blade Black Nylon Handle- $154
Any other recommendations? Advice?
