Tactical Folder Suggestions..........

i've lost 3 benchmades. loved em...but can't stomach the loss. I typically have one, do-it-all blade that opens mail and is carried daily "JIC" so I roll with a medium sized folder. After losing the Benchmade(s), I picked up a CRKT M16-12z at REI I think...tanto point and 1/2 serrated. Have had it for like 3 years now...cant seem to lose it.

I also had the issue with the blade lock over extending and getting stuck on the far side of the blade, but a quick whack! or screwdriver fixes it.

Recently picked up a little custom fixed blade at a knife show..its essentially a neck knife but looks like a mini katana at maybe 3-4".

I picked up the older version of the Cold Steel Recon1 (its made in a dif country now) at a gunshow last year for $45 new and have been very pleased with it. I've had it for a year and a half, haven't even sharpened it yet and it has very little pocket wear. My friend got a zytel Ti-lite at the same time and his blade is broken off at the end and blackened from flames and is just generally trashed. My Recon1 is slim and not too heavy so I don't even notice I'm carrying it until I go to open something and its not there. If I leave it home I miss it and one time the deputies at the county courthouse threatened to arrest me when I accidentally brought it thru their metal detectors. I still got to wear it on the long walk back to my car in the bad part of town where the courthouse was located. Just try it.
