My daily is a Crawford Kasper. The blade is 3.75"; other aids say over 3.8" and at the spine. 16" thick; the steel is 8Cr14MoV with a corrosion resistant coating.
It is a side lock with an interesting locking device that is CRKT's patented LAWKS or a little lever that locks the side lock. It is pretty close to a fixed blade. I do prefer a fixed blade, but for a folder; it is pretty close.
I don't use the thumb stud. Instead, I adjust the two tensioning screws and it opens fast with a simple flip of the wrist.
I've owned it for well over a decade or so or back when it cost close to $50. Its weakness is the screws that hold the clip on. As they get loose, a dot of Loctite cured that.
