Any help with large EDC folder would be much appreciated!

To save some bucks and still get a great knife, consider one of the many Kershaw blems from www.kershawguy.com. Can't go wrong with Dave. He has a number of the well-regarded Blur models for sale in your price range. Those are assisted openers which you may or may not like. I have one and it's a great knife.
 
I vote for the Endura as well. The Blade is on the longer side which will cover all my daily choirs, and it has a slim profile that makes it very comfortable to carry.

I just got a Phat Bob, and although I really like the micarta and shape of the blade and knife, well... its fat! And not only "ph" phat.

I think the reason Spyderco uses FRN on the Endura is to both cost and wieght down.I used to hate FRN and then I bought a Byrd CaraCara 2 (oh yeah I forgot about that one,check it out) and in my opinion Spyderco does FRN better than any other knife company I have tried out.At first the Cara Cara 2/FRN felt cheap but after some use the cara cara and the frn grew on me.I grew to like the light wieght thin profile and the cutting ability of the knife. The Cara Cara2 was my first Spyderco product.I figured it was a good way for me to tell if I would like the design of a Spyderco.Well I liked it alot and have gone to spend more money(alot more) on spyderco products.I do think it is well worth the extra cash to buy the Endura.I really like VG-10 steel and the design of the Endura. I must warn you that this is how it starts.Now you will be thinking ahhhh if I spend 20 more bucks I can get this instead of that and later you will be looking at a $500 midtec thinking if I just spend 3 or 4 hundred more I can get that custom:D Also NEVER start a thread with a title like "Please help me, I'm spending all my money on knives" because we won't be any help at all:D Once again good luck and have fun with this hobby.
 
My two cents..*Plink..plink*..

The Kabar Mule is tough as hell. I have had one, though lost it. The edge took and held a razor's edge, the point was strong enough to dig through a 2x4, which was alot of fun actually. I did split quite abit of wood with it, although the blade was kept unlocked. The hollow-grind edge with the fairly thick spine worked well. It's sheath held up well enough. I'd recommend the plain edge or the serrated, though. I ended up stepping on mine, dropping it in a fire, dropping a rock on it..dropping it from a tree..ah..well..s@#t happens. Upon wanting to test the thing, I hacked through some quartz and concrete, punched a hole through a 2x4, split wood (unlocked), punched (hammered) through a concrete block, battoned it through a 2x4, and to test it's edge holding capability (after restoring the edge, which was rather easy), turned a 2x4 at a foot long into slivers. It still shaved hair. Throughout all of that, the knife remained solid, and while i did have to work on the edge, and remove a few small chips, it performed far beyond my expectations for the price.
