Hi, guys.
I've been carrying a pocket knife since I was a kid. For the last 10 years or so, the traditional slip-join folder has been replaced by one-hand opening, locking knives. I'm partial to Microtech, Benchmade, and Spyderco.
In addition to a mid-size folder, I've been carrying a CRKT K.I.S.S. as a money clip. I figured, I carry a money clip anyway...why not make it useful?
Problem is, I'm not crazy about the K.I.S.S. as a knife. The locking mechanism is weak. The blade is WAY too chunky: unnecessarily thick with a very steep primary grind. Very difficult to slice cleanly through anything. And the tanto tip is useless. The broad, flat design and wide clip make it terrific as a money clip. But it's pretty useless as a knife.
I figure a small knife should be slim, with a thin edge, and razor sharp. Can someone recommend a money clip knife that actually works well as a knife?
