Your Daily Blade

[Netpackrat]

Been carrying a CRKT M21-04G for a year or two now. Like it a lot. I bought it at the knife counter at Sporty's, where I tried a bunch of different folders. It had the mechanism I liked the best, regardless of price.

Kershaw Whirlwind or a CRKT m-16. Used to carry my Bokker Ceramic sometimes too until it was stolen.

Lots of nice knives in your price range here - A.G. Russell "seconds" page

Generally, a Case Sodbuster. I'm currently carrying the small one. Nothing fancy, just good honest cutting steel.

For everyday use and carry, I wouldn't cry if I lost or broke a $60 knife. More than that and it would bother me. I decided to go with the Case Sodbuster, full sized, yellow handle. Thanks, everyone!

I've been alternating between a Kershaw OSO Sweet and a Kershaw Onion Blur for the past few months.

Fuck any and all knifemakers that charge you 50+ dollars for a piece of metal slapped between 2 pieces of plastic.

I see your point (Har!), but there is a minimum level of quality that the super cheapies just don't have. I feel confident with most offerings between 30 and 60 bucks.

I cant stand Chinese blades.

Does not really fit your requirements (and I don't like that guys politics all that much) but I really get a lot of use out of my Leatherman Skeletool. It is a nice combination of a decent blade and minimal multitool with a pocket clip. I certainly would not want to use it in a fight unless it was all I had. It beat bare hands I guess.
