I used to switch knives a lot, I couldn't find one that worked for me and fit the way I wanted. Then I found the Benchmade Griptilian. I have carried this knife everyday for 4 years now and LOVE it. It's 154 cm steel and holds a wicked edge for the money I don't think there is any better. But I do have delica's and an Endura both VG- and they are very good too
Having recently been in your position and asking the very same question, I would suggest looking for a deal on a ZT350. I picked up a Spyderco Endura as a first knife and liked it alot, but then I held a Zero Tolerance and had to have one (and now I have two).
Spyderco Stretch, BM mini grip
Slightly higher than a hundred, ive edc'd a Native 5 and its painfully underated as it can possibly be the perfect edc along with the Stretch.
I scored a very lightly used one for $85 shipped in the exchange, can't beat it for that price!
Get the kershaw LTD edition Blur. It has everything good the Blur has, but with CPM-154 steel
