Need help choosing a new EDC

Of those on your list, the Chinook would probably be the best for all around use. I own two Commanders and most likely would not buy another. I like the wave when used with the very cool quick deployment sheath. However the overall construction of the Commander is not nearly as good as the larger Spydercos.

If you use the wave feature often, on the Commander, just be aware that the lock will have to be repaired or refirbished a bit too often.

If you want to pay for one of the very best constructed, strongest yet visually understated folders, get a large Sebenza. You will not be let down. I own one of the Classics with leather inserts. A great knife.

However: my normal "daily carry" knife is a Spyderco Military in a formed Vess leather sheath. It just feels right to me and if I damage or loose it, the replacemnt cost is not too much.
