can't go wrong with ANY of RJs knives - at last count, I think I have 8 of them, mixture of fixed and folder.

His flippers have great action and ergos, built tough, and of course...scary sharp!

Is the Frame-Lock a selling point?
Black Bear Knives has a fantastic EDC in their Metro Razor. It is a nested liner-lock though.
 
Rick Hinderer, Tom Mayo, Yuna, Tim Galyean, DDR, Shane Sibert, Matt Cucchiara & Gerry McGinnis. I have frame locks from each of these makers.
 
Let me think: Who won Best Tactical the past two years at the almighty Blade Show...?

Oh, yeah: R.J. Martin!

All good names being mentioned, and I could add more, but the buck stops here. :thumbup:
