For something about the same size, but the most different from your list: Southard
For something about the same size, but similar to the Sage: Domino
For something about the same size, but slightly more refined: CF Caly 3.5

How does the Cru-Wear Military grab ya? I'm sure there are still some out there. I was never very sold on the Military, but decided to give the Cru-Wear a try and it has converted me. What a great knife.swigert wrote:Suggestions?
You could always hold out for the Super Blue Stretch that is probably around the corner.
Maybe try one of the ethnic series? Not a sprint, but endangered species...Chokwe, Zulu..etc.

I was leaning towards the likes of what Revival just posted.
Techno, Caly 3.5 or CTS-XHP Native would all be great choices based on what you have currently.
One I did not see mentioned which I think you should consider is a Yo2. This is one I didn't really think I would love (I am not into MBC and don't plan to use my knives for defense) but once I handled one at a gun show I was sold. One of my favorites now!
Finally with your budget I do think the Southard would be a nice choice as well. Mine comes in just after the Caly, Sage 1 and Yo2 as most carried.

Good advice. Don't often need a 4" blade but when you do the Military is the tops.Surfingringo wrote:Get yourself a military. My military and my pacific salt are my two favorite knives. Stick the rest in the bank.

I have never owned a caly but I played with one the last time I was in knifeworks. The caly 3.5 is probably the most comfortable folder I have ever held. It absolutely melts into the hand. I didn't buy one because I like my knives a bit more "robust" than the caly. Not that I necessarily need them to be...I just like a slightly heavier build. But for normal edc type stuff, the caly is about as good as it gets I'd say.swigert wrote:I dont. I have not held one in person and maybe thats my problem here. But from looks alone online it doesnt say BUY ME!!!! If you know what I mean...
