I've used the S&W as my daily carry knife since i wore all the rubber off the grip of my Gerber. Its also served as an eating utencil on several occasion. The best Pocket knife for the money.
If you can afford it, go for the Python. I think you will be happy with the Lazer-cut model. It is a very nice pocket knife.
