So, my wife's birthday gift is going to be me buying an "expensive" pocket knife. Expensive is definitely relative, haha.
I already have 2 Boker Kalashnikov Autos, one with a D2 drop point blade and the other an AUS8 tanto. Also have a Boker Dagger D2 2.0 OTF. I usually carry the D2 Kalashnikov, but will switch it out from time to time.
I'm NOT a Boker fan boy by any stretch and am willing to branch out, but their pocket knives have been a great bang for the buck which is why I have so many. My fixed blade requirements are pretty well covered, though I'm not necessarily opposed to a good deal. I have a couple Bucks, Moras, Cold Steel, and a Boker.
Anyway, not really looking for anything specific. I'm kind of leaning more towards a gentleman's type knife, since my Kalashnikovs are more than adequate for what I usually need. I would like a more premium steel, like Magnacut, S35VN, etc.. Not that I NEED it, but if I'm buying a more expensive knife I'd like nicer steel.
Right now here's what I'm thinking about. Prices are approximate, I qualify for some LE/government discounts which is how I get to some of them. A few would be pre-orders, but I'm willing to be patient:
Boker Urban Trapper Automatik ($139):
Boker Urban Trapper Cocobolo ($101):
Hogue Deka Magnacut ($114):
Kershaw Bel Air ($149)
Spyderco Military 2 ($140)
Spyderco Native Chief Salt Magnacut ($127)
