All, I still think I'm just a fixed blade sort of fellow. The thought of spending $150 +/- on a folder sort of bothers me. I don't mind spending $150-200 on a fixed blade and then having to spend more on a sheath...but...folders just seem "weak sauce" (a "hip" term I recently heard used to describe something that is lacking or otherwise somewhat undesirable).
