New folders on the way

I decided I needed some new folders. I'm liking sub-3" of late because they're long enough to do decent work but not so long that they scare people. I also don't like to spend more than $25. I ended up ordering 3 this time.

Kershaw 3700 Kurai Folding 2-1/2" Black Plain Blade, Carbon Fiber Pattern Aluminum Handles

Buck Nobleman Carbon Fiber Pattern 2 5/8" Titanium Coated Plain Blade

Schrade Small Utility Folding 2.6" 9Cr14MoV Plain Blade, Black G10 Handles

I'm also a fan of smaller folders. For years my EDC was a Kershaw Scallion. It still sees carry time, along with a Dragonfly 2 and my traditionals. I like the look of that Buck for sure.

I haven't seen that model buck before, looks alright.

That Schrade seems like a bargain to me.
9Cr14 holds a good edge.

While the little buck does look stunning they could have upgraded the steel a bit.
You know its bad when you say "if only it could be 8Cr13"
