Have you seen these? I just received the large, 3.63", combo edge version. I tell you, CRKT is a real sleeper. I wanted an inexpensive knife that I wouldn't worry about scratching up, could use hard, and wouldn't spend a lot of time maintaing rather than using my high end folders. Well I got the apparent workhorse I was looking for that's good-looking as well and at a price that's unbeatable.
It's a liner lock with a 5" nickel chrome-plated zinc alloy skeleton frame. This hefty sucker fills the hand for great control of its substantial high carbon, bead blasted (get out the Tuff Cloth) AUS6M blade. The large size comes in three versions from plain to fully serrated. It also comes in two other smaller sizes. The teflon bearings make for a super easy one-handed open. The down side is that it appears to be a "righties-only" knife.
Ever since I bought my first Carson-design M16 I've been tickled with CRKT products. Keep the $$$ knives for the grand kids; this is a real blue collar working knife. http://www.knifeworks.com/images/commander.jpg
