      @DougNg:

      And you really can't compare the patina formed on carbon steel to the scratches formed on stainless…one is a reflection of a lot of use...the other is just...scratches...but that's just my opinion

      LOL, you can get a tactical folder made with a carbon steel blade if you really want that patina, but then the knife would be harder to clean, and I'd be worried about it rusting around the pivot area where I can't reach the blade to clean it.

        I think there's a couple tactical folders with carbon steel…Sniper Bladeworks comes to mind...but personally, for a tactical folder I would want stainless or something very close to stainless like D2 or CPM 3V

        Tactical knives are just...no muss, no fuss, and does what you need it to do

        But there's a certain charm for me in traditionals 🙂

        I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

          Yeah, it's a matter of personal taste. I like traditionals for fun, but I find tacticals to be a lot more user-friendly and versatile.

                                  Er, under $1000 ?  But it has to be thin can be kinda big as it goes in a long knife pocket on the inside slit in the boot but must be thin.  Cheers.

                                    Here's one of my favorite boot knives out there, the Zero Tolerance 150. It's designed by Tim Galyean, one of the most talented custom tactical knifemakers alive. At $150 MSRP, it's well within your price range, too.

                                    Specs:

                                    Steel:  S30V stainless-steel
                                    Handle:  3D machined, G-10 in matte black
                                    Blade Length:  3 5/8 in. (9.2 cm)
                                    Closed Length:  N/A
                                    Overall Length:  7.5 in. (19.0 cm)
                                    Weight:  3.6 oz.

                                      I like that design a lot! Is the blade made out of Kydex?

                                        I'm pretty sure it's some cheap steel, like 420…the knife only cost $20

                                        But the design is brilliant and it's really not a regular usage knife, more for like those times that I don't have a knife handy and I just need to cut something

                                        I was going to recommend the same dagger. You really can't go wrong with Zero Tolerance
