I have been looking for a good knife that I can use for everyday use. I'd like an assisted opening knife. Any knives you would consider?
 
Have you looked at the Kershaw Blur, can be had around $60, and likely less if you scour the exhange here on the forum.
 
I lIke the SOG Flash II, about $40-45, or Aegis, around $55, better than anything else in the under $60 range. Very useful blade shape, AUS-8A, assisted opening, deep carry clip and I much prefer the lock to frame/liner locks.
 
As much as i would recommend the delica, he said assisted. Kershaw Piston. Sandvik Steel, assisted, G10 handle, 3.5 inch blade. The river store has it for 60 on the head.
 
OP wants an assisted knife so the Delica won't fit the bill. The Delica would be a good EDC though if OP would consider something that is not assisted opening.
 
Spyderco Endura and Delica can both be had for under $60 right now. Either one is a lot of knife for the money.

Edit: sorry, just read the part where you said you want assisted opening. Umm, are you sure? :barf: :D
 
Yeah I don't really like the deployment of a non assisted

There are some knives that are so smooth, you really dont need the assisted. And for $60 I can think of a bunch. Many guys actually de-assist their assisted blades for this reason and because there is more chance of failure/broken parts.

If you have to get assisted, there are many kershaws. If you step up a bit in price the Benchmade Mini Barrage is pretty sweet.

Deploy a Rat 1 and you will see there is no need for assisted opening. But they are cool.
 
You can get the new assisted opening rats. Never messed with an a.o. one but should be good. Everything else about the rat is.
If not then I say look at Kershaw. They have a lot of speed safe knives
 
I'm not big on assisted blades so I haven't owned a ton of them. The best AO blade I've owned is the Kershaw Leek. Second is the Kershaw Blur, although I think the Blur is a better knife de-assisted. Both can be had for $60 or less. If the OP would consider manual openers I could recommend much better knives for the money.
 
There's all the Ontario folders. The utilitac and the rats which are a lot of bang for your buck for sub $30 knives. And they all open so smoothly that you won't miss a.o.
