I need a pocket knife.
I gave a few specs desired and just need a low cost knife.
Use is just everyday and as a last ditch self defense.
I don't need a handmade special just one that will hold an edge more than 10 minutes and I will not cry if lost.
I have an old Gerber Gator that is great but I wear it in a belt pouch and the grips are too sticky and wide for city pocket carry. My others are old case and Kabar folders but have been handed down from now dead male relatives so I am doing to put them up so they don't get lost or stolen.
Here are my specs
Assisted opener for one handed opening if one sleeve is caught in a power tool.
A clip for easy access and I can access same place all the time
Not a tanto I do like the clip points
Plain edge near point and serrated near hilt for rope/string
Thin or at least not thick for pocket carry so not a heavy one.
Not more blade than 2.5 to 3.5 inches
Cost under $40 and $30 would be better
Dark color or at least one thats not day glow orange so it won't stand out.
I'm not a knife guy really but carry ones that are sentimental to me and I want to stop doing that everyday. I know you get what you pay for but I need one that will function and is half way decent. I'm sick of ones that are so cheap they bend when you open a letter. I also need a source to buy one online.
Thanks for replies
