Good EDC Folding Knife.

I avoid those double/fake double edge type blades. It's cool if you want a man stabber but for cutting an apple, they will suck. I like the thinnest ones with the best clip. If you don't have it with you, it isn't any good. And I don't need anything else dragging my pants down.

Oh, Tanto knives are double-edged? Didn't know that, thought it just the design that was different. :shrug:. How about this one? http://www.sog-knives.net/sog-knife.php?prodnum=VL-01

Actually, how about these? http://www.sog-knives.net/sog-knife.php?prodnum=FSA-7 http://www.sog-knives.net/sog-knife.php?prodnum=TF-2
the width of my hand is about 2.5 inches, so the first ones handle should fit perfectly, and it's lighter than the second one. I like the looks of the second one though, and the groove.

I have the Sog Vulcan VL-01 & love it.

I like the design, but it's a bit too big.

Theres always the mini version, but yeah the larger size is slightly heavier and a thicker blade.

Right now, I'm considering this http://www.sog-knives.net/sog-knife.php?prodnum=VS-01 and this http://www.sog-knives.net/sog-knife.php?prodnum=TF-2
I'm leaning towards the first one.

i have a Boker Plus Hyper

i think its a great sub 3" folder that's easy to live with, great blade profile, 440C blade, easy to slip into your front pocket and forget about it until you need it

I would get the visionary i have the second one and have given the first one as a gift and like that one more myself, one things for sure the prices on that site are really good.

 

[ryts100]

I don't really like how the Boker looks. I think I'll buy the Visionary. And yeah, the prices on that site are awesome.

Here in the UK we're pretty much stuck with SAKs. Anything with a locking blade is illegal (so no leathermans for EDC). Anything with a blade length longer that 3" is illegal. My current favourite knife around the house is a Fallkniven U2, and if I could get it modified to prevent the lockback from actually retaining the blade, I'd use it as an EDC. It's cheap, amazingly sharp and easy to maintain, and very compact and comfortable. Still, it doesn't do everything a trusty SAK wil do. I've considered taking pliers to my Leatherman Surge to disable the linear locks on the blades, but they'd still be UK illegal on account of blade length.

So, with a little regret, it's a SAK; with saw and scissors, philips instead of a corkscrew. I don't drink wine.

Spydie Urban. Resistance is futile.

I prefer folding knives that can snap open quickly and easily, using thumbs studs, or more preferably something like the mechanism on the Twitch's.

I'm a big fan of spyderco, a few benchmades, and higher end folders myself, but my first good knife was a SOG and I still love it. Most are made in Seki Japan and are excellent knives. For your price limit, there is a SOG Ti Vision in the BST area here right now and its a steal!

If you prefer something else, i'd look hard at the specs of benchmades and spydercos, or even better, find a local dealer that has them.

--EDIT--- Never mind the SOG Vision got traded off tonight. That was a fantastic deal and it was here for a long time...

The Mini Vulcan was my EDC, quite disappointed with Edge retention.

Now I carry the Kershaw Ram and prefer it over the Vulcan.

I don't know if you've found what you're looking for but the Benchmade 530 is probably right up your alley.

I think that Spyderco makes a non-locking folding knife.

Here is is: http://www.knifecenter.com/kc_new/store_detail.html?s=SP94GP

Surprised nobody mentioned benchmade mini-griptilians...?

Still my favorite and you will be hard-pressed to find a better bang for your buck knife.

I'd been wanting to get another axis for a long time, and just recently got a mini grip. Its a very nice knife for my uses, and has managed to snag some time away from my small sebenza recently.

 

[greenLED]

can't have enough mini-grips!

i carried a crkt m16 for over 5 years without any problems. im really hard on my daily carry knives and it really is a stout piece. the price is a little high though, i think i paid $25 for it back in the turn of the century.

my m16's pivot screw thing always gets loose and its rather annoying
