Uncle Sam took too much money this year and is giving me my "nice" knife money back. I'm stuck between these 3. Any insights are appreciated.

Either the hifin or the padre, I have a hifin XL and a compadre and they’re equally fantastic. Both have outstanding action and fit/finish so I think it’s down to personal preference. The padre is probably gonna feel a little comfier in the hand
Padre without question
The Kunwu Padre gets my vote!! It’s fantastic and worth every penny that you pay for it. That’s what I’d do, easy one for me. I also have the Vosteed Psyop, it’s great, but the Padre is on another level imho.
All three at some point. I have a Psyop and a Padre. It depends. The Padre and High fin are both frame locks. You’ll get smooth buttery action with a sweet hydraulic drop on close up. Both have the bigger thicker blade which will lead to less finesse work. The Psyop is the button actuated TLL. You’ll get a smooth buttery deployment but more of a drop shut close up. Definitely better for more intricate working.
The Psyop will be more fidget friendly as well, if that’s something you care about. All of them come in great steels so I think that’s irrelevant. If I had to choose between the two I have, I’d probably choose the Padre and that would purely be due to aesthetics alone. Just love the look of the damn thing
