      @DougNg:

      You might want to send your knife in for servicing.

      I will eventually. They really do a complete check-up for free, it's quite nice!.. As soon as I'm mentally able to miss it for a week or two…  ::)

      Try a CRKT Eros or Ripple. They come in two sizes as well. They flip as fast if not faster than an automatic. Great fun for the price. Should keep you busy for a couple weeks.

          Alright knife guys, I want an assisted open, 4" or smaller, made in USA(unless you convince me otherwise) pocket knife for under $75.

          Any ideas?

          I'm more interested in the Levis of the knife world or my cash flow is anyways…

              I love my Kershaw 1620 frame lock, and my wife loves the pink mini version I got her. Make it a him/her thing 🙂

                Have a Kershaw Zing up for sale btw… Although nemesisnow1200 (from the IH forum) expressed interest...

                Anyway: if you want a cheap, US made knife, Kershaw is the way to go...

                      If you're willing to go a little over your $75 budget:

                      http://www.knifeworks.com/kershawkenonionbluraluminumandcarbonfiberhandles154cm.aspx

                      It's a classic. And Alton Brown's every day carry. Great knife materials. There are other Blurs that cost less, but they use skateboard tape on the handle, and will not be kind on your jeans

                      The Kershaw Leek is also one of my favorites. This one is particularly awesome

                      http://www.knifeworks.com/kershawleekstainlesssteelhandlesandvik13c26cpm-d2compositeplainedge.aspx

                      If you're willing to budge from your made in the USA requirement:

                      http://www.knifeworks.com/columbiariveronionripplebluestainlesssteelhandleplainedge.aspx

                      It's not assisted open, doesn't need the spring. It uses ball bearings in the handle, and flips open faster than an assisted open. It's Jody's every day carry, I carry mine occassionally (I usually carry a CRKT Eros). Slim, fast, great ergonomics, and really really beautiful. Made in Taiwan, but the warranty is fantastic as the company is headquartered in Portland. They'll take care of you if you have any issues

                      Btw, you might have issues getting a knife shipped to NY by a retailer because of the current knife crackdown there. Best bet is to use a proxy

                            Also, the Kershaw Cryo is a good pick too. Rick Hinderer is a brilliant designer. Not made in the US though

                              I'm gonna look over all these. And you just read my mind Doug. Kershaw Cryo and Leek were in my amazon cart last night but I waited to see if anyone had any advice. Looks like I was on the right cheap track.

                              Also, I've only had CRKT knives for the last few years and I do really love the brand too. I'll look into the Eros as well.

                                    Hit me up if you need to ship to my house and then I'll ship to yours. NYC has become a nanny state, and has really cracked down on knife sales

                                    Kershaw is usually better to get through Amazon because of their warranty policy. I usually go though Knifeworks.com, Knifecenter.com, or Newgraham.com when I can't go through Amazon for production knives. GPKnives.com also has good prices but I've never shopped through them

                                      Btw, rumor has it that the Blue Ripple with Stainless handles is going to be retired. No reason behind it, it's been a great seller.

                                        Good to know, a buddy of mine just gave me one as gift a while back, haven't handled it a whole lot because I'm not to into autos but I know they are U.S.A. made and seemed decent enough the little I did handle it. Thanks for the info Doug!
