I really like my Benchmade 913D2. I need to try adjusting the pivot again. I tried to center the blade and now it has a little play in it. I think I didn't tighten it enough before letting the loctite set.

I really hate to sound like a pansy, but aesthetically, I'm not digging it.

I'll toss my hat in the ring for the Kershaw scallion. With the partially serrated edge. If I need to go smaller, I go with the chive. If I need something bigger, I go with the Leek. You can't beat their customer service either. I sent in a leek I picked up in a trade a while back, with a broken blade. For $30 they are upgrading me to the D2 version. And they are replacing/repairing 2 others that I sent in at the same time, no questions asked. I would like to see the scallion with a D2 blade one of these days, but the regular one is holding up just fine. Besides, the woman I spoke to at kershaw said I can send mine in any time to have it resharpened for free. I have not tested this yet, but it sounds like their customer service on the other knives. You just can't beat that for an EDC.
Well, I passed on the Spyderco embassy as it appeared too thick.
Unfortunately, I had an opportunity to buy a Microtech LUDT satin plain blade ANIB (as new in box) for $150 shipped.
So I did what many other knife collectors do, I tossed my parameters and budget convictions clean out of the window and bought the thing.
Yes, the knife is larger than I wanted, more expensive than I intended, is an automatic and not an assisted opener, and caught me unresearched except for price (the cheapest I've seen them is $179.99 for combo edge).
I believe I got a good deal on a now out-of-production knife.
I'm going to pick up a Kershaw composite blade knife for EDC.
I want to thank everyone for their help. You're certainly a valuable asset to a knife newb (who's already managed to spend $1400 in 2 months on blades).
thanks guys for helping me spend my money and for my not-so-distant divorce
