I'm not a knife guy. I had a coworker who was, so I asked him "I just want one knife to have as my pocket knife. What would you recommend?" He told me to get a Spyderco Paramilitary 2. I've been happy with it.
I've been cleaning out my parent's shed and found this new-in-box Schrade IXL knife made back in 1980. I'm not really a knife guy, so does anyone know if this brand is good/popular?
