Title says it all.
Currently carry a Fox 599 karambit the past few years. Good and bad about carrying it but I'm going back to the straight blade. Knife has held it's edge without sharpening this whole time and has had a few bouts in the washer/dryer without rusting.
NY has a 4" blade law for EDC. Looking more for a tanto but will compromise on that for better steel. But I'm adamant on having a wave feature since my current EDC has that and I really like the fast deployment especially under stress. Prefer darker colors.
Currently in the running in order of preference:
1) Spyderco Edura Wave 3.8" blade
Would prefer it to be in a tanto blade configuration but the steel is solid. A little pricier but sub $100 in the market.
2) Kershaw CQC 8k 3.5" blade
Steel its offered in is eeeh but for the money I shouldn't complain. My main issue is that it's a chisel grind and I prefer the v grind. The tanto model below it is a V grind but I am NOT a fan of the half G10/stainless handle.
I'm looking to keep my options in the $50-$150 range. Preferably sub $100.
Any other options out there that I should look into that have good feedback from users here?
