New tactical folder. Please help.

[KAK]

I am indecicesive about my next tac folder.

I have an old cold steel recon 1 tanto serrated with the axis lock. I have screwed up the angle, and the destroyed the serrations with my hard use.

The replacements I am considering are the following.

-ZT 0350 plain edge assisted

-New Cold Steel Recon 1 with a clip point plain edge

-Benchmade Griptillian


Which should I get? I like the ZT allot for the as-sited opening. The cold steel has the biggest and prettiest blade shape and probably the strongest lock. The benchmade is the lightest.

Spyderco Manix 2
Spyderco Military
Spyderco Paramilitary
ZT 0250
ESEE H.E.S.T./F
Lionsteel SR-1
Emerson CQC7

the list goes on and on. I would stay away from Coldsteel though if you are looking for quality.

I have the Spyderco Military i like it i also carry a SOG aegis on occassion if it were me i would consider another recon1 since you are used to carrying it and how it feels

Of those 3 the ZT is the best by far.

I'd recommend a CRKT assisted Hissatsu
