Looking for a new knife

Jetmech_63

I lost my old folder a few months ago and am looking for a good, durable everyday carry folder. Assisted opening is nice but not necessary. Has to be american made. Anyone have opinions or what has worked for you in the past?

I am a big fan of Kershaw knives. The Leek is the perfect everyday carry size. I don't notice it is there most of the time. It stays sharp a long time. I had an issue with the assisted opening not fully opening the knife. I sent it in and they said there was a build up of lint and tape inside. They cleaned and sharpened it and sent it back. Didn't cost a dime. I also like the cyro and cyro II. But they are made in china.

I like the Kershaw also. I bought a Ken Onion with 420 HC steel blade. Great to sharpen and holds an edge better than any knife I have owned. Assisted opening as well

Yup kershaw spider co and sog are my go tos but for a knife you can abuse and sharpen easily and also not care about gerber is good!

Scored a nice Tidioute from the factory guys who set up a folding table in front of the Ace Hardware in Tidioute. AShould have seen their 4th of Julky parade. You could see the whole thing in one block. A Model T, a gal on a horse, a dozen marchers in Union uniforms, and the rodeo clown in his go kart car. Anyways, made at the cutlery factory been there in NW PA for like ever. Nice big knife.

I'm a fan of cold steel. I have their Ti-Lite and love it! It's been my go to stabby for over 8 years.

When i used to buy knifes for boy scouts i used to buy Gerber but that was in 2008 so i have no idea what is good out there. Gerber is a good pocket knife that is pretty simple but good

Cold Steel, it is the only place I'd ever buy a knife from. They actually use quality carbon folded steel, none of that stainless crap. check em out. www.coldsteel.com

Spyderco is a nice knife! was given a rescue one by a fellow firefighter this weekend and it is sharp! that thing can cut about anything.
