I think I'm gonna be able to talk the Wife into buying me a new knife today for our anniversary. Keep in mind that I am in Law Enforcement and this knife will be carried both on and off duty. I want the knife to be able to be used as a SD weapon as well as be used for general cutting duties.
I really like Benchmade and Kershaw but have never owned one due to the the price. I'm gonna bite the bullet though and get one as I know it will last.
I'm torn between assist opening and regular. I had a regular that I was pretty proficient with as far as sopening and closing. But, it opened in my back pocket and I didn't know it and I about stabbed myself in the buttocks. I went to the spring assist because I could lock the blade. That is a feature I really like and think I need now, the lock not the assist.
Looking for a appx. 4" blade.
So my questions are:
What knife would you recommend in the $100 range for my EDC?
Do they make non-assist opening knives with a locking mechanism?
What would you recommend...spring assist or not for my EDC?
