I have a friend I'd like to grab a pocket knife for. It's planned for a milestone achievement gift so I wanted to look at something better than you'd find in a blister pack on the shelf.
I haven't kept up with all the different steels being offered, or warranty/quality/field reports for any of the latest offerings.
I'm hoping some of the enthusiasts & owners of modern EDC & utility knifes can chime in with suggestions.
Benchmade & Spyderco are two prominent brands I see all the time... Kershaw, SOG, & Gerber are brands I know but seem to have fallen off a bit.
I'm open to all suggestions - sales, coupons, rebates if they exist wouldn't be an issue.
Requirements:
Folding blade with lock (no fixed or out-the-front styles)
Plain or traditional blade edge - no blade serrations or tanto tips
High durability (will be used regularly - rope, cloth, plastic, cardboard, paper, insulation, small gauge wire - not a hunting game knife)
Not a multi-function tool
Good ergo grip - user wears large gloves
$100-$125 price point
Hoping this is enough information to solicit your opinions, feedback, & suggestions.
