Outdoor Edge Sentinel
Outdoor Edge's Sentinel is a conventional folder, not a replaceable-blade one: a 3.15" black-oxide 8Cr13MoV modified drop point with G10 scales. It uses a crossbar lock and a ball-bearing flipper and weighs 3.4 oz. At $49.99 the steel is budget grade.

Why a drop point
The default hunting and EDC shape, and the safest general answer. The spine curves down to the tip in a convex line, which keeps the point low and strong and leaves plenty of belly for skinning. It is hard to make a drop point bad at anything.
Every drop point here →About 8Cr13MoV
The Chinese value workhorse, roughly comparable to AUS-8. Fine on a $30 knife, unremarkable anywhere else.
1-5 is a relative ranking drawn from published composition and hardness, not a lab measurement. Higher is better on every axis, and no steel is a 5 across the board — edge retention and toughness pull against each other. All 8Cr13MoV knives
