Been carrying a Benchmade barrage for about 5 years now. Just got one of the new ESEE folders the other day. Wanting to get a Benchmade automatic knife when I get a little extra money to waste. Lol

EDC and bug out....hmm, I'd have two different ones lol. EDC I have plethora I swap in and out. Spyderco,Benchmade, and Zero Tolerance are all my favorites.
Kershaw makes one heck of a blade for the economical mindset.
My bugout blade though, would be a ESEE 3

For you BOB you need a fixed blade. A folding knife can weaken or brake at the hinge and leave you high and dry
I can only echo everyone else. I carry a benchmade mini barrage daily. I have an izula in my ghb...eventually will be gerltting a bigger fixed blade. Sold a Becker bk2 in hopes of a group buy for an esee that never materialized.
Leaning towards a 3, 4 or junglas... But probably a couple of threes

Okay - this is what I am hearing -
Need at least two knives one for every day carry the other for bug out bag.
EDC - maybe an ESEE - also possibly one with an open assist (I have small hands)
BOB - fixed blade
How about anything on the blade (i.e. serrated, etc...) -
So guys - think for your wives or girlfriends (or gals for yourselves) - you have maybe a $150 to $200 budget to get BOTH an EDC and BOB - specifically (including differences in blades, colors, etc..) what would you purchase?

Esee 3 - BOB
You - Kershaw Cryo, injection, lots of good models or ESEE zancudo, ontario rat 1 or 2.
Wifey - victorinox classic/cadet, Leatherman style CS/Juice
Just some things that first come to mind : p
* I like plain edged blades for the larger cutting surface. If the blade is sharp enough it'll cut rope or whatever you need to.*

For EDC, I carry a RAT model 1 made by Ontario Knife. This folder was designed by the same guy who owns ESEE. It is inexpensive, $30, but a well made knife. I have abused it trying to break it and I couldn't, so far. For camping I carry an ESEE 6. large knife well made. I would recommend an Esee 3or 4 for you.
