I like Spyderco Endura knives for daily use. The thumb hole lets them flip open easily and no cop can pretend that they are illegal. I THINK that they have some Aus8 models. The "Spyder-edge" corrugated blade simply shears through anything; the plain edge would be better for skinning.
My favorite carry is a "bird's head" Italian lever-lock auto (fully legal in Oregon as long as it is carried visibly, as on the belt). It is true Damascus steel with an amazingly fine grain that sharpens incredibly sharp, and feels more like stone than steel. Made by Armando Beltrane of the SKM, Switchblade Knife Makers guild, around $110.00, from BladePlay.com
You probably know about the websites for Smoky Mountain Knife Works and for BudK Knives. But you may not know about BladePlay.com , a wonderful site with excellent service and quality imports, and a sister site with higher-end domestic blades. Great stuff, cheap, good people, and the sites will eat up all of your free time if you want..........................elsullo
