Everybody hates them but I love my benchmark bugout. Upgraded it to tritium inserts on g10 scales from glow rhino.

Not quite, the last benchmade I received, a gift from a friend for my birthday, post chopsaw. Looked like it was ground by someone with cerebral palsy having an epileptic seizure. There's no way it should have left the factory. My buddy didn't see it till I opened the gift and he was ashamed. He is also a knife guy.

I bought an Emerson CQC-8 years ago that looked like it left the factory without ever having an edge put on it.

Both are well-built, robust knives. And both are Made in U.S.A.

Spyderco delica is my favorite but I want to buy their new endela someday. I have a PM 2 but am afraid to carry it that much least I loose it.

SOG Vulcan VG-10 with non-serrated blade.

Been pondering a smaller karambit style folder as of late but haven’t seen anything close enough to what I’ve imagined just yet.

Something Civivi because they’re cheap so when I inevitably lose it, I’m not out a huge sum of money like when I lose a Benchmade (as I’ve done multiple times).

Big fan of the Dragonfly 2, and it's usually what I'm carrying. Small, insanely light, but very capable. There's a reason I have three of them.

Bitchmade Mini Bugout is also in the mix.

Blaze orange is my preferred color now, to help me stop losing them.

Yojimbo2 for most of my EDC needs, but PM2 when I’m in need of a general purpose knife. I have many samples of each - like they say, one is none and fourteen is one.

I have a few but it's been a Kershaw Launch 8 lately.

My daily is a Kershaw Shallot with a CPM110V blade. I just replaced the torsion bar and it now snaps open just like when it was new.

However, I want a slightly larger knife with assisted opening. I've seen a few recommended here the past year or so, but the two I really liked were no longer in production.

I used to carry one, but both of the ones I had developed cracks at the thumb studs for no reason, so I've ditched the Blur altogether.
I now carry a Kizer Original button lock and I like it so far, but time will tell.

Mine is the German Army version without the serrations.

An old Kershaw Storm. I think it's discontinued now, but it's been my EDC folder for nearly 20 years.

I don't have a picture of it, here's one off the web.

My current edc is a Microtech Socom Auto. I have carried Microtech since it replaced my MOD and Benchmade back in the 90s. Till I lost it and carried a Benchmade Autostriker for a bit till I could replace the sicom Auto when they released them again.

Budget?
Preferences?
Any work restrictions (like blade length)?
What do you usually use a pocket knife for?

I like deep pocket clips, of course, one-hand opening. Outdoors use, I prefer a stouter folder; office work and general EDC, I like a good slicer. There's really so much variety and quality on the market, you kind of need to narrow down the above.

Spanish maker Nieto. Hand-made, no Chinese stuff. Extremely nice knives for the price. The steel is pretty good, maybe a little on the soft side, but takes an edge very well obviously. I've seen some "reviews" say that it (AN58) loses an edge fast, and while it's not like one of my Busses, it's certainly on par with just about any other steel. Frankly I'd rather sharpen a little more and not deal with chips, but that's me. Anyhow, highly recommended if you want something a little more stylish and less tacticool.

Vic Pioneer 99% of the time, a Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter or a fixed blade when I want something more. I have two backups still in boxes and also carry an Alox Bantam in my wallet.
