I've been here on CPF for years now (I joined in 2006, as you can see) but after leaving for a while, I came back, a couple years wiser, and a bank and account and a half wealthier. :devil:
I decided that after contemplating it for quite a while, I'd like to expand my EDC past my E1B, to a small, pocketable, yet nice looking knife. I don't need something 12 inches long worth of taking someone's head off with, just something I can have for opening things, and using for protection, should that ever arise.
I went ahead and picked up a little Smith and Wesson knife off Amazon, the SWFR2S, a folding blade with a 3 inch blade and 4 inch handle.
I know this is probably the most boring, underwhelming, basic thing that most of you knife collectors/users here have seen, but I'd like to ask what you (personally) think of it as someone's first knife? Have a hit or miss right off the line?
Plus, I'd like to know what you guys feel a great, affordable (less than less than $50) is. Something small and pocketable, yet usable. This question has been likely covered ad nauseum, so I apologise ahead of time!
I know I likely sound very noobish, so please go light on me, remember, we've all got to start somewhere in this stuff.
Thanks for any responses.
