Best EDC for me on a $75 Budget!?

Another vote for a Cold Steel Recon-1 a big bad knife for a small price. Priced at your set $$ amount. Have a look at this bad boy and I have pretty big hands and it fits perfect - great ergos!

Spyderco Endura 4 w/Emerson Opener. Great knife that you can have open and ready to go in less than a second. Oh and don't pry with knives, get a pry bar. I use a gerber artifact to pry, but county comm offers a great one for cheap.

Stretch a little and get a ZT 200 or ZT 350. It you dont want to stretch then a Cold Steel Recon 1 or American Lawman. I would also look at the Kershaw RAM, Randon Task II or the Lahar. I think a Spyderco Salt series would also serve you well. Good Luck! Kevin

Kershaw JYD is my vote, or shell out alittle more for a zero tolerance 0350

And then go buy a small pry bar like a widgy bar or even a gerber shard. Don't pry with a knife.

Ok heres where I stand at. I purchased a Victorinox Cadet and I'm looking at the following. Benchmade Kulgera, Grip, Torrent, Barrage... Spyderco Delica, Endura and the Buck Vantage Pro.

I have an Endura, great knife and I really like the VG-10 steel. I also have a Cadet - slim & easy to carry even in your Sunday best, useful wee tool! (also an easy to keep sharp blade, I keep my razor sharp)

Take any of the knives listed, then, spend 2 bucks on this. Don't pry with knife blades.

Yep, get a widgy pry tool and carry it - it may help to save the life of an innocent knife one day!
