Hey folks,
Looking for suggestions here! My favourite folding knife is the Kizer Riverbank. A simple, slim-bladed, flat ground flipper (pictured) in nitro-v.
I went to go purchase a second one and realized they have been delisted. So now I'm looking for a similar knife. Specifically something less than 7 inches long, with a thin blade (0.098 inches thick or less), and a full flat grind. Doesn't need to be a flipper, but not a fan of nail nicks or clutch locks.
Looking for something decent but not something I'll cry about if I lose or abuse it (for example, a North Arm Skaha II fits the specs, but is pricey enough that I would baby it too much.)
One model I've considered is the Spyderco Chaparral, but I'm not sold on the back lock or the price.
Cheers!

I’d probably start with a Spyderco Para3 as a baseline to look into. About 7.25″ long witb a 3″ blade. Full flat grind. Compression lock (aka Top Liner lock). And kind of the standard edc that can ve used and abused all day long, plus if you live in America, a local warranty department so you can get it serviced easily should you ever need to.
I think Kizer Swedge is a pretty similar knife.
