Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[Seul]

Ok y'all… I'm in need of a cheap knife that will shortly replace my Sebenza whilst it's being sent off for service…

Needs:

• cheap
• locking blade
• clip
• smaller or same size as Sebenza small (6.875" (175mm)
• don't care whether it's legal or not
• preferably easy to be found in €urope (on a site like Amazon or what have you not...)

Any and all recs will be looked into. All help appreciated. Cheers.

Thinking of going with a Spyderco... Less than 40 quid portpaid... Should I?..

Spyderco does not make assisted openers

I messed that up - didn't mean assisted opening, just need a knife you can open with one hand…

Kershaw Skyline is a favorite in that price range

Tons and tons of cool Kershaw knives… But me eye got caught on the Zing... Assisted opener but it'll be only used a couple of times so why the hell not... Have some fun ey... And I can get one for 30-35 € ppd... Brilliant!.. Thanks for the heads up, D!..

That's actually Jody's every day carry. It's a great knife. It was designed by RJ Martin, one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He gifted me a Zing when I had dinner at his house two years ago

Boom - purchased. Thanks a ton for all your help, D!.. I still can't thank you enough for pointing me in the direction of a Sebenza two years ago!..

@DougNg:

Check out the Kershaw Zing, it's not assisted, but it might as well be with how easily it opens

April 2010… Comes full circle 2 years later, haha...

picked up a CRK Tanto Small Sebenza.

Here's an image from the vendor's site - I say god damn this thing is crazy sharp!

I really like how slim it is, I've been carrying a Benchmade Mini Dejavoo Gold Class for a while, it's nice to free up some room in the pocket!

Great pick up!..

Tanto blades are so sexy!

Whats the damage? $?

Its really a beautiful piece..

[RedStripe]

that is a lovely looking knife

Honestly: DouNg recommended me the Sebenza and I've been so fucking happy with it every day since I got one… I'm sure I'm abusing it but I'm having it serviced by a local sharpener this week if my backup knife arrives... Just needs a lick of oil, needs to be sharpened professionally, and hopefully he'll manage to replace the clip as well...

great purchase Jesselirola

did you order the Zing Seul?

[Seul]

Yeah - hopefully arriving tomorrow (at my place)… 

[Seul]

I am beyond stoked about this purchase… Sure it's not Reeve quality, but for 30 € (!), this is just mindblowingly awesome!.. The assisted opener is tons of fun to play with, but I prefer the thumb stud… I'm pretty sure I will cut off a couple of fingers tomorrow during work, but I won't even regret it... Big thanks once again to DougNg for the brilliant advice!.. Cheers mate!..

Wow, nice piece Seul! My new Kershaw has the same assisted opener and thumb studs, very fun knife.
Love the color of yours and that blade is insane!

[Seul]

The only thing I kinda hate is that the position of the clip doesn't really allow a hugely quick opening with the thumb stud if attached to front jeans pocket… Check this pic and visualise if you can to see what I mean... I'll get used to it, probs, but prefer the Reeve where my thumb automatically ends on the thumb stud...

[Blackheart]

Oh yeah, I can see what you mean…The Reeve is such a fine knife, one of the best. You'll get used to the
Kershaw, I have two and my newer one I prefer due to the assisted opener. Works better with my arthritis.
