Quality folding knives?

[Flashpoint]

A cheaper alternative is CRKT's line of M16 knives. Easy to deploy, use and resharpen.

I have been very impressed with Columbia River Knife and Tool knives they make very very very nice knives for the money.

Hmm, the CRKTs are nice. Now I can't decide between the M16-13 and the Flash II. The only initial difference I see is that the Flash has the spring assisted opening and the lock release is on the side of the handle as opposed to a liner lock. Which would you guys recommend?

Looks like the Flash uses the same principle as Benchmade's AXIS lock, assisted-opening design. I'd bet it's really really fast, the blade is just a blur when opening. Might have to get me one of these...

Get the one you think looks the best.

I used to carry a Spyderco Delica for years before the clip broke. Once I locked myself out of my car and had to use the Delica to pry the door open just a little so I could get a wire down and pop the lock. Although the knife didn't break, I was worried that it would. Never liked that feeling so now I carry a Mission MPF Titanium Folder. Lightweight, extremely strong, corrosion proof, and carries no magnetic signature.

A little pricey at first, but not for something I plan to trust my life too and pass down to my kids.

If it's good enough for the Seals, its good enough for me.

I'm glad to read that...

...I'm not the only one who carries two knives. Left pocket--Spyderco stainless "Cricket". Thin, sharp, and strong. VG-10 stainless steel blade. Right pocket--Chris Reeve "Sebenza". (Usually) Unless I fly. Then the Sebenza gets replaced with a Spyderco Ti "Salsa" with 50/50 blade. I've always felt that the sharp serrations of the ATS-34 steel Salsa's blade would saw quickly through a stuck seatbelt. Gotta get OUT when things are burning.
Oh, hey! I almost forgot. I've got one of those titanium "credit card knives" in my wallet. Thin, very light, and sharp.
