Need help picking a knife

[Bullnettles]

Refuse to buy Chinese, don't want assisted opening because I'm tired of replacing springs, has to be a folder, preferably around 4" or less closed, but not micro-knives, and a good grade of steel. I am pretty rough on my stuff. I have a $50 gift card to Cabela's, so that would help if they offered it, but not a deal breaker. Thanks in advance for your help, as I'm not a knife aficionado.

Johnny Cochran is done gone, OJ is locked up in FL I think, so maybe locate Robert Shapiro and see what to get. I'd imagine OJ confessed to him by now.

Just whatever you get, get a pair of gloves 2 sizes to small to go along with it, and you're golden. You'll get by with anything, cuz if they don't fit, you must acquit !!!

Yikes, I didn't realize I forgot to post one I had that fits your description. I don't use knives alot, so I can't say how rugged it is as far as being hard on it. I have what I think is the old model of this one. I like the one hand opening, and pretty sure it's not assisted. Made in USA and the blade seems to stay sharp. Also not sure if Cabelas stocks Kershaw brand.

What price range you looking at? Also what style blade do you like? Plain edge or serrated, spear point, tanto, drop point, kukri, etc?

I'm a fan of Kershaw - I have two of them.
As an everyday carry, I usually carry this one.

correct - it's been a while.
It's a solid knife - weight, feel, blade sharpness and durability.

All in all, I stand by my Kershaw's.

Buck knives are made in the U.S. The Model 110 has been a tried and true knife for many years. Comes in a variety of styles.

I think they first came out with the 110 in '64. It's the knife that put Buck on the map.
I just ordered this set.

I have the fixed blade, but did not pick it up as a set with the gut hook/seatbelt/rope cutter. I really only use it for cleaning deer, and it has done a good job. It has a nice feel in your hands.

I like it a lot. I'm about to write my review on it, I'll link it here.
