The catch is that i need to keep the price under $100, $75 if i can. While I've a Jazillion blades,the Gentleman's Folder rates a thunk,for the application/pricing cited..........................

Rate more than a thunk. Following your suggestion, I got one... and promptly lost it to my father. Then, I thought I'd get smart; I ordered two. Lost them to my uncles. Ordered two more; carry one and hid the other. DAMNED good knife.

Boise Campfire Tracker Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 5,221 Rapid City, SD, US	I've had my Kershaw Elk Spring blade blade twice where the blade engaged the lock, must have been a heat treating issue. I used the knife on lots of game but after the second failure decided to move up to one of Ingram's blades - mostly because of what I've learned here.

I'm by and large a Fixed Slut,but the aforementioned GF is an exceptional folder,in all regards. Even comes with a sheath,for them that prefer that mode of carry. Kershaw's relative quality,fluctuates wildly through their lineage and the GF is less peer....................

Looks more like a fillet knife. More of a boning blade,than a fillet. Kershaw Kai's and this first run Benchmade,were more fillet-esque and of a utilitarian pattern I much prefer to an upswept boning blade ..............
