1) Civivi yonder in Sandvik 14C28N Stainless Steel ~ $87
2) Vosteed Corsair in Nitro-V stainless steel ~ $84
3) Kizer Mlitaw in 154CM Stainless Steel ~ $81
4) Vosteed Porcupine in 14C28N Stainless Steel ~ $93
5) QSP Penguin V2 in D2 ~ $53
I will be getting the QSP regardless, the question relates to the first 4 knives. I can only get one of those. I want 2 knives, I'm not buying off of Amazon or anything, I'm going through a local supplier.
It should be noted that I want a Kershaw mini iridium and that would be my first choice, but they're out of stock, and I don't particularly feel like waiting for them to be restocked. These are all on my list to get at some point, but in no particular order, and I'm not familiar with the different steels so I can't pick based off that, I just copied what they said in the listings.
Visually speaking, I am leaning towards the Kizer, but the scales have an ultem inlay, and from what I've seen on this sub, ultem isn't great. Although I also quite like the porcupine.
I do also really want to get a knife with a crossbar lock, so the yonder and corsair have an advantage in that aspect.
Any input is appreciated, even substitutes. But I've looked at about 30 knives in that $80 to $95 price range and this is what I narrowed it down to. Also these are the costs at my local supplier converted to the dollar and it includes import costs and what not. Not sure how much these sell for in the USA, so please bear that in mind.
Thanks in advance.
