First up what an amazing site you guys have here, this is THE BEST place for knife info on the vast interwebs! So I'm turning here for a little help. As there is so much info here it's overwhelming.
My fathers birthday is coming up and I really wanted to replace his current EDC. He's currently carrying a kershaw leek and the reasons he likes it are, 1) he likes the open assist, 2) he likes how slim it is, as he ALWAYS has it in his jeans he had this knife for a LONG time, the blade has been sharped so many times it doesn't even look like the same knife, however it does still function.
So I'm looking for some recommendations that I could get him for his birthday. I would like an EDC knife that has good quality materials, perhaps something thats really smooth to open and close (doesn't have to be open assist but some kind of flipper and the smoother the better, IKBS perhaps?) and has to be slim and fit nicely in a pocket, and am happy to shell out up to $200.00-ish for this gift (if thats not reasonable let me know, i'm a knife noob)
Thanks all.
