What do you get? Blade from 3"-3.7".

Military.

But seriously, a little more to go on would be helpful.

Zero Tolerance 0550, a true beast of a knife. I've had and abuse mine for a few months, just now the edge is needing to be touched up. I strip 1590 conductor, cut dirty ropes and felt, pry open crates, etc.

Spyderco Gayle Bradley M4 blade, carbon fiber handle, don't eliminate the Spydercos from your choice and miss out on one awesome blade.

Here are some great videos about this underpriced cutter:

Seems like a lot of people missed the "not a Spyderco" bit.

In that price and size range I would probably grab a Ritter Grip in M390. Great steel, great lock, great ergos.

Agh. I got a great one, but it has a 3.75 inch blade. Rats.

Dustin, I can't recommend the 0566 enough. Solid build, nice heft, perfect blade length and handle width for EDC. Practically disappears in the pocket with the deep carry clip, and it's quad carry.

Plus one on this. If you don't mind the AO what's not to like. Great value for the price.
