I recently found out that carrying a locking folder in my city is illegal (see this thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=179788&highlight=San+Antonio+Knife+law). So now I'm looking for options in a new EDC.
I could legally carry a small fixed blade (with the possible exception of on base...rules are fuzzy), but I like the convenience of a folder. I'm not planning on using this for self defense unless. Even if I end up without a handgun and had to use it, I'd probably opt for using it closed like as an impact weapon (thing loaded fist/Kubotan).
That being said, I'd like some advice on my options. Preferably I would like a one-hand opening, pocket clip type just like your standard "tactical" folder, but without a locking mechanism. I don't know of anything that meets even two of those three requirements. If I can keep it under $100 that would be great, but I would not mind going up to $150. Anything pricier than that and I'd just start carrying my old yellow handled Case again (Sodbuster).
Ideas?
