Personally, I used an Emerson CQC-7 (CE tanto) for my "street" years. If I had to get something nowadays (My work needs are different nowadays), I'd probably get a Spyderco Endura. They're hard to beat. They're plenty big enough, cheap enough (PDs can set-up a program with Spyderco, BTW, making them VERY affordable), & easy to open with or W/O gloves, plus their 4 way clip & back lock makes them virtually ambidextrous.
The B/M Grip is also a great choice, too. Their axis-lock is ambidextrous, too, & they're fairly easy to open/close with gloves.
The Kershaws are great, but they're not as ambidextrous as a back-lock Spydie or axis-lock B/M. The RAM can be considered ambi, though, but it's smaller than what you're looking for.
IMHO, I found that a folder that can be easily used with either hand to be very useful.
Good luck with whatever you get.
