Going to Germany? You're in luck, the Messer Merkator is a proud local and one of the sexiest classic.

Nice but the Douk Douk is prettier imo. Nonlocking but who cares in a folder.

Also it's dirt cheap and carbon steel. You really can't go wrong.

If you need a better handle get an Opinel. And stop buying ridiculous money for shitty chinese steels and titanium knives. I say this as a Sebenza owner. There's no fucking reason.

sure, I've got some time to kill and own a couple of folders so I can look for some pics... I'm not a big tactitool kinda guy though into the whole "need a spider knife for battening and opening parcels" scene.

That one is similar and almost as old as the the Merkator, but it's French. A bit bigger and blade locking isn't as secure, but still quite stiff. It's called l'Écureuil, as you could tell by the pic of a squirrel.

Do these things have any kind of locking mechanism? I personally wouldn't trust a non locking folder, I own a couple liner locks myself

This model by Opinel (Jardinier) has a drop point that looks better than the other Opinels.

This one could arguably be considered an American classic. It's really well make and has a distinct 80's feel. A look that grows on you.

>>12334103
these ones dont: >>12334098 >>12334092

these ones do: >>12334046 >>12334105
and pic related

these ones have a spring that keeps them from closing, but has to be forced to fold the knife. no lock. >>12334086 >>12334084

looks good, but idk if I would want that aesthetic for myself
>>12334086
I am not a tool guy either, I just want a knife for who knows what, I know I shouldnt pull it for self defense as a newbie but I would rather have one in this multicultural shithole, judo alone wont help me.

I want something that doesnt look outdoory at all, I want something that would fit a skater core/grunge aesthetic, so no >>12334105
>>12334098
wood or horn for example, something more urban

thanks for all your suggestions tho

>>12334124
I'd go for the Gerber LST >>12334119
then, it comes in loads of sizes (1" , 3", 6". 8" perhaps bigger), is dirt cheap, super slim, plastic scales are comfy and light, and it actually looks decent.

No lock or even a spring sounds a bit too wobly for me. I own the two liner lock folders in pic related.

>>12334026
other german here, i dont even bother with knives anymore. you're not allowed to carry anything besides tiny manlet knives pretty much and when you use it for self defense you just fucked yourself over even if the guy would have killed you otherwise.

>>12334176
Not even if you have a reasonable justification for it? It's technically the same here, but since I have ear plugs, safety glasses, and an engineer's square with me, I'm allowed to carry one as long as I'm on my way to or from work.

>>12334218
in that case you are allowed to carry one of the legal knives with you. you might need some kind of license for that still, im not sure. not that anyone would find out anyways, i never got checked by the police for anything.

>I personally wouldn't trust a non locking folder

How the hell are people like you using a knife? Even if you have an Opinel that doesn't even have a backspring keeping it open, you're using force that directs the blade back into the handle, right?

The only way you'd have an issue is if you're stabbing into something or putting a force on the back of the knife blade. Why are you trying to do something retarded with a folder is the first question, not "does it have a locking blade".

If you use a knife properly you should never need a backspring even.

Pretty much all of the knives its are way below 50€ already, and the last few are utility knives, so I don't know what to tell you other than using the image search thingy next to the post digits.

Here, have a link an a few more sexy utility knives

True that. I don't have clue what's so dangerous about a knife not locking if you use it properly. I think they just don't really trust themselves with it.

Although I have to say Opinel have locks; you have to twist the ring.
