I have a Randall Model 4 fighter that I carried for years. Used it for near about everything you could use a fixed blade for. Still have it and love it. They are well made knives that will outlast their owners.
Cool to see guys keep it up! I have the hest 2.0 folder and have been beating it up since I got it! It to is a beast, well built!! Eagerly awaiting next review!!
I have a lot of knives and until about 2 weeks ago I had never owned a Spyderco. I bought a Spyderco uk pen knife for a pocket knife and I absolutely love it. It is definately not for everyone, as it has a lot of drawbacks, but I love it. That being said for a EDC Defensive folder, I would look...
I second the Kershaw Blur with the Sv30 blade steel. Definately good value for the money and I like the AO mechanisms on the Kershaws. The Spyderco's are good choices as well, but if want AO I like the blur for the money. Mtber has given you some great suggestions as well.
