I'll add another vote for a Kershaw Leek. I've had mine for ~12 years or so and I can't think of one gripe that I have about it. I've shipped it back to Kershaw a few times for sharpening and to put a new spring in it and the service has always been solid. It's functioned well enough for what I ask of it I've never been able to rationalize buying anything more expensive even if I have been tempted to buy something new with money that is burning a hole in my pocket. --------------- "Structural engineering is the art of moulding materials we don't understand into shapes we cannot precisely analyze, so as to withstand forces we cannot really access, in such a way that the community at large has no reason to suspect the extent of our ignorance."

Kershaw Guy currently has six or seven different flavors of Leeks on his Factory Seconds / Blems page. Other models listed there as well. __________ "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy." | |||

This is excellent advice and you'll enjoy perusing the gamut of choices you have. Look for the main knife makers and peruse their websites. ZT knives, benchmade, ckrt, etc. I'm sure you'll find at least one or two that you'll like, "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Yes I do, excellent knives. I use to be a Benchmade guy until the their political BS came to light, then I sold them all and swore I'd never own another. I lean more towards Spyderco, CRKT, ZT, Civivi and a few others these days. If you can live without the glass breaker, I'd strongly recommend a Spyderco ParaMilitary 2 (PM2). What I consider one of the best overall folding knives out there.This message has been edited. Last edited by: sigarms229, Sometimes, you gotta roll the hard six | |||

Gentlemen, thanks for the suggestions. I saw several that I like, and may own down the road. I think I am going to get this knife: https://www.crkt.com/shop/tact...knives/m16-04db.html I like the slightly longer blade and it doesn't break the bank. | |||

I have an older version M-16 that is really solid. Mine is partially serrated and the steel's not as good as the one you've picked. I think you'll be pleased. "Cedat Fortuna Peritis" | |||

After reading Para's stong endorsement I ordered the American Law Man. I also ended up ordering the Code 4 and a Tuff Lite serrated for my Son. Really had no use for any of them. This place can sure siphon money out of a bank account. | |||

The older version M-16 was my edc for years until I went to an automatic then a fixed blade. | |||

I thought about that, too. It just looked to damn big.

Yup, I've still yet to figure out a practical way to carry my Kobun. May relegate it to truck duty, it's just a bit too big & difficult to access, for boot carry. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

I've got a bag full of knives, that I have accumulated over the years that has more knives than my holster box has holsters. It's a disease I tell ya...but I just haven't lost a knife in years. ____________________________ NRA Life Member, Annual Member GOA, MGO Annual Member | |||

Pleased? Understatement! This thing is huge. Time for some dry fire practice.

I'm shocked not one mention of a sebenza. Have they fallen out of favor? First In Last Out | |||

I know there's a lot of CRK owners on here, just not sure how many actually EDC them. Me, I'd prefer a slightly cheaper blade in the event of loss. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

I carried the M16®-10KZTanto for years. https://www.crkt.com/knife/m16...me-lock?sku=M16-10KZ Then I switched to the Smith and Wesson M&P assisted opening 10 years ago. The handle finish is worn off the edges but for 10 years in my pocket almost daily I can live with it. https://store.smith-wesson.com...-knife/SWMP3B_M.html On black Friday sale for 60% OFF | |||
