Your next knife you imagine can do anything, anything all your other knifes cant handle and all that...Aint that what people say, the search for the "perfect" blade and after you got it, you find another one, and buy that thinking that would be the "perfect" blade.... Sick people, sick we knife addicts are :thumbup: 
So after another round of buying, handling and using i have now come to the point where i know what i would like in my edc blades..
First the steel:
I have found out that 154CM/VG10/ATS-34 are good enough for my use, so i would like it from there and up. AUS8(A), 8CR13MOV and variations of that just dont do it for me.
Blade length:
The perfect blade length for my edc use are between 2,8" and 3,5".
Blade opening:
I like it one handed deployment, preferably the round hole deployment that spyderco and benchmade uses.
Overall knife looks:
I like G10, its kind of the perfect textured handle material, but it looks kind of tactical on most knifes, its not a must but i want it to look kind of not so intimidating to other people. Another thing i really like about the spyderco knifes is the 50, 50 choil they use on some of their knifes or if i have the option.
Price:
So between 50 and 120 dollars.
Last:
I have looked long and hard at the Spyderco Manix 2, i like everything about it the ergonomics, 50 50 choil and all that, but it looks a little bit to tactical i think so if i not get convinced to do othervise i think i will buy the manix 2. I dont want the Para Military 2 that is WAY to tactical.
And a last question, how is the quality of the japanese and taiwan made spyderco knifes compared to the american made if they use the same materials??
