Your dick?

Don't mind the troll, 7chan isn't a great place for asking serious questions. Are you looking for a knife with a total length of 4" or a blade length of 4"? The knife I have has a 4" blade for 8" total unfolded, which is cartoonishly huge for just a pocket knife.

Spyderco Caly3, carbon fiber model is made with ZDP189, standard model is made with VG-10. I'd be amazed if you could break either.

You should get a fixed blade for hard use though.

i already have a spyderco military and love it but i dont want something else that i would be more willing to beat up. also im trying to keep it under 70, thanks

70 dollars??? FFS how about 10 dollars? Go to an outdoor fleamarket or a garage sale and look. This is why I think most knife purchases are a joke. I bought me a 200+ dollar knife. Its so purdy I got it in a display case. Seriously though, if I can find a Leatherman challenger for 20 dollars you can find something to use as a beater for a lot less than 70.

Agreed. Shopping online you'd need at least 80 bucks for a really durable knife, but go to flea-markets, co-ops, swap-meets, and surplus stores and you can find some deals. I'd be careful shopping at fleamarkets though, a lot of people there will claim to be selling brand-name knives for unbelievably low prices, but once you buy one you'll realize it's a fake and it'll fall apart within weeks- so you may want to learn about knives and teach yourself how to spot quality.

op here,
i ended up deciding on a kershaw lahar
3.5 inch vg-10 steel and g-10 handles
and for only 60, awsome
also to the 10 dollar knife guy, enjoy your 3 dollar wally world knife and your hi-point

Hurr durr. You guys must go to the dealers inside to buy your knifes like moths to a flame. I don't care if you cant hunt for this shit outside, more for me. Eventually you're going to be hard up for money and I'll buy your knifes for a fraction of what you paid for them.

No you are wrong only I am right. You are also unattractive and will fall on financial hardships.

whatever fag,
enjoy your 440a steel, shitty treatment, and fake labeling

Not bad, OP, I would have gone with Spyderco but I've never had a Kershaw fail on me either.

Sure is 12 year old in here.

I like my Ka-bar Mule. Wouldn’t say it keeps a razor-sharp edge, but it is thick like a motherfucker for only a 3½-incher.

I would take a look at SOG. I have had a 4 inch lock blade for close to 15 years. Thick blade and takes a great edge. I would only be careful of the rubberized grips as I have had an issue with one side coming off.

SOG's folders are sub-par honestly. I often recommend the Seal Pup Elite for general outdoors use however.

They also have fantastic multitools. Their PowerLock is tied with the Skeletool for my favorite multitool.

try this on OP. its a svord folder from new Zealand, high carbon steel and the blade is around 3in. plus its cheap, around $20.
