Hellaciously good blade for the price ($5 at Walmart during the Christmas season a couple of years ago) and it holds an edge pretty well.
Same as this one but without the ghey carabiner on the end:

The knife I'd really like is a discontinued Benchmade model the 910 Stryker. Not too big of a fan of the combo (part serrated) blades but I LOVE me a modified Tanto point.

I used to have a Winchester "Walmart" purchased knife and I thought it was great!! The only problem I had with it was it always kept coming unclipped from my pocket and falling out...up to the point that I finally lost it. Loved the knive though! Good choice!

I'm not a knife guy, but I do carry a Benchmade 580SBK. It's a nice assisted opening knife, very impressed with the quality.

I usually have a knife on me. I used to have a Smith and Wesson that I really liked but it disappeared. Now I have a Kershaw assisted open that I like.

I have a lot of knives, I like quality survival knives. Here's my favorite people cutters:

Unknown Mexican knife, appears rather old and well ornamented. I know nothing about it other than: One side says "No a todos les esta el puro. Nomas a los hocicones." and "22-c"

Other side says "Productos Acevedo Oaxaca"

Japanese Saburo Knife, folds forward to be used as a punching device. I have some cheap chinese knockoffs of this particular design, but their blades are thin and flimsy. It's not a real blade unless it's made in Japan. This one claims to be handmade with an individual serial #. Otherwise, I know nothing about it.

Some of my knife history:

Benchmade BM-42 Prototype #42-100

MOD Triton OTF (out the front) Auto (out and in)

Microtech Scarab OTF (seriously BA knife, I miss it)

Current EDC: Emerson Super Commander with a regrind by Arkansas local Tom Krein. Outstanding knife. Shown with my buddy's Emerson Super7 also with Krein Regrind. SC on top S7 on bottom.

Microtech makes Freak'en Awsome switchblades. The dang things cost an arm and a leg too. I think they start out at a couple hundred dollars and go up from there. I've always wanted one but never could bring my self to spend the money

They are expensive... well expensive compared to normal production knives. For example, that MOD Triton is the production version of a custom knife that sells in the $2000 range and up depending on build options. The MOD version is under $400 (and showed, build quality was crap compared to other knives in that price range).

The Microtech Scarab was one of the most well built knives I have owned. I ended up selling it though b/c of the cost. I couldn't justify a $500 knife that I couldn't legally carry.

That's an impressive collection, Godfather. I like the Emersons a lot and I've been thinking about picking up a CQC 10. I'll probably get a Spyderco first, but the Emerson is pretty high on the list.

Those Winchesters are made by Gerber? I generally shy away from Chinese made knives, which most Gerbers are now, but I confess to buying a Winchester Swiss Army type knife at Wal Mart for $4, I think it was.

I generally carry either a Swiss Army knife or a multi tool. If I think it is a spot where trouble could happen, I carry a Buck folding knife I got at Wal Mart for $7. Made in USA and legal. Opens with one hand. I bought several and gave some to my friends and relatives.

I bought a bunch of those type cutters when Sears had them for like $6. They are awesome. I have them scattered around anywhere I might need to cut open a box or a sack of dogfood or something.

I've recently taken a liking to Cold Steel. Yeah, they catch a lot of shit because of their over-the-top designs, their blowhard of a spokesperson/ CEO, and a whole slew of promotional videos on youtube, but they really do make some great knives. Especially for the money.

Anyone heard of these guys at all? Springfield based

I had heard of Dark ops before and thought they had some cool designs but I had no idea they were based out of Springfield. Thanks, man.

I've got a Cold Steel Recon Tanto that I really like. They had a Cold Steel Samurai Sword in the same style-which I think has been discontinued. This was at Sportsman's Warehouse in Wichita. It wasn't even $200, and I thought about getting it, but didn't. I went back a couple of months later and it was gone.

I like the Recon line a lot and have thought about picking up either the tanto or the clip-point for a long time. How does the teflon finish hold up?
