@derivative666:

@grumpymike do you have any Tony Bose customs?  Who else besides Dr T do you recommend for classic customs folders?

I don't have any Bose knives, but maybe one day. There are lots of great makers out there who make slip joints. Bose, Ruple, Halfrich, Pena, Zscherny, Ploppert, Menefee, Coats, Bloomer, Dowell, Taber's, Chamblin, Doc Hagen, Ohta, just to name a few… happy hunting

Edit: just throwing it out there, I'd trade this knife for a new pair of 666D in 38...

I love the Ohta's literally just talked myself down from pulling the trigger on a frikky folder. I'm so proud of myself.

Hiroaki Ohta Rosewood Slip Joint

Love it man

[derivative666]

The fit & finish on Ohta is unreal. Nicest knife I have ever owned. Will only be purchasing his knives from now on.

The wood looks so nice and compliments the blade beautifully J

Hi. I'm new to the forum as of today and I'm happy that this topic is being discussed. I too have been wanting to get a carry a knife because I can't count the times I've needed one and never carry one. It's also for those possible "Oh ….!" situations. Can anybody suggest something easy to carry and especially easy to access quickly that would likely be legal. I was just looking at knives yesterday on eBay and I see these "spring assisted" knives that sellers claim are legal. I'm just not sure how "assisted" these knives are and am wary of anything I'm going to carry every day that might not be street legal. I'm willing to throw down a couple hundred bucks, maybe more for something easy to carry, access, and that I would be proud to own. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Where are you from?..

[Doing It To Death]

WOW! That Ohta is NICE! I just looked that one up. That I would be proud to carry. I really want very easy access too though…

I'm originally from the Washington D.C. area. I live in Connecticut now.

It's very simple then, get a Chris Reeve Sebenza…

Forget spring assisted openers… After a bit of fiddling with a Sebenza, you can open it just as quick as a semi-auto!.. I've owned one for a couple of years now, and use it on a day to day base... Other people here will probably agree with me...

CRK makes a very nice knife but, for the money you can do better. Look into Benchmade 940 made by Warren Osbourne. It's a lot of bang for your buck at $150

[Doing It To Death]

Actually I have a benchmade that would be perfect if it were legal to carry….

[mclaincausey]

I've got a tactical switch that's illegal to carry and a CRK Sebenza I can flick open just as fast.

[Doing It To Death]

I'm loving the Sebenza with the snakewood inlays! The Benchmade 940 is great for the price too.  I'll have to give it some thought.

At the moment, I am struggling to contain the stiffy that this piece of art is causing…..Christ knows what'll happen when it actually arrives.....

[derivative666]

Carbon Fiber inlay such a subtle detail. This knife is such a work of art
