Michigan law states that to carry a folder in your pocket the blade must be 3" or less??? I moved here to NC from Michigan nine years ago and am planning on moving back by this coming summer. Now I'm reconsidering. That stinks.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

Michigan laws suck!!!

I'd move to California before I moved there.

I would vote for a Wegner Jr. I really love this knife. A miniAFCK wouldn't be bad but it is 'slightly' illegal with the blade being a touch over 3" (do you really think the MI State Police would nail you for this?). The BM 705 is also nice. Hard to beat that axis lock--a real nifty invention. And this knife is unbelievably smooth to open. It almost opens itself.

I have all three of these knives and I've carried each for several months but my preference is for the Wegner Jr. Solid and a type of blade geometry that appeals to me personally.

If I were you, I'd buy all three.

As for me, Paracelsus has me wanting a BM 850.

Others here make me want to expand my Spyderco selection (I've always wanted a Calypso Jr). And automantic's post makes me want to move out of Michigan.

The low, hoarse purr of the whirling stone—the light-press’d blade,
Diffusing, dropping, sideways-darting, in tiny showers of gold,
Sparkles from the wheel.

I think the Benchmade Mini Styker would be a great knife or maybe a Wenger Jr. would also be a good knife
