Well, you can't get much better than the Benchmade Griptilian folder. Cool

I'd get the plain blade, though. Smile

Let us know what you get. Very Happy

The Benchmade 550 is the one that I had & it is a fine knife.
I think my son has it now. He kind of likes knives. I could do without them Wink .

Spyderco makes some fine stuff too if you like that style:

This is the Native:



This is the Tenacious:



I was concerned about this one because it's made in China,but it turned out to be a mighty fine knife Very Happy

Neither of these are BIG knives,so I don't know if you'd be interested in them , but they're good quality mid-size blades.

i bought the 3 3/4 laminate steel model with the unfinished birch handle very plain but so far it works great the only thing that bothers me is that i could not create a spark off it,oh well gonna order the same blade but in carbon steel from lee valley next week then try to make a nice handle and sheath for it
