I'm preparing to write a group of knife reviews for an up and coming website, and one of the first sets of reviews will be of 2" or less blade length folders. The 2" blade length is to assure legality for carry on school campuses in the State of Georgia, and in many restrictive jurisdictions across the US. I'm going to focus on quality locking blade knives that meet the blade length restriction, but are still large enough to provide more utility than a key ring knife. I'm trying to cover a variety of manufacturers, lock mechanisms, styles, materials, and price points. So far the knives I've purchased to review are:
Cold Steel Mini Tuff Lite: lock back, $20-$30
Boker Plus Subcom Titan: frame lock, $30-$40
Spyderco Meerkat: exotic lock, $70+
I'm planning to buy a Spyderco Chicago soon to cover the liner lock mechanism, and $40-$50 price point. That would give me four knives, across three manufacturers; with a variety of locks, materials, and styles. The Meerkat is likely to be the only knife over $50 for this set of reviews. I'd like to focus on the sub $40 range to keep the majority of knives reviewed within the budget of most college students, and even folks well into their careers who aren't knife aficionados like myself and many of you here.
Are there any other knives meeting the above criteria that you folks think I should be looking at?
