Okay so Im going to be at the Air Force Academy next year and going through basic as well. Im pretty proficient with a blade and I have many of them. Im looking to get a new knife that is a good EDC'er. Ive narrowed it down between the Spyderco Centofante 3, Spyderco Delica 4, or the SOG Twitch II I need a knife that isnt going to be weary in the face of a little abuse. Its mostly going to be used to cut up fruit, cut rope, whittle, and just other basic cutting tasks. I really want to find the best knife that will do the job but not put a dent in my bank. Id kove some advise or maybe a list of knives to look at and consider. Any advise will be helpful. I know you guys are the experts in this area. Thanks guys!

you can pick up a victorinox tinker for under $15 online. If you're looking for something with one hand opening and a more "tactical" feel then just about anything from spyderco, benchmade or kershaw would suit you well. If it were me I would prefer the SAK or a Leatherman considering you'll be away from home and without access to your own tools and gadgets for a long time. I've found that when I EDC my spydercos, benchmades or kershaws I might use them once a day, but every time I drop one of my SAKs in my pocket it gets used every 10 minutes 
when I was a kid my knife addiction started with a SAK, as I grew older it progressed through more tactical knives made with expensive steels and materials and I've rarely had cause to use them except for cutting open boxes and letters. Somehow I've made my way back to the SAK and I couldn't be happier. My $20 SAK can do everything my $100-300 knives do and usually does it better because it includes the right tools for just about any job.
