i would look at these five brands: benchmade becasue of the axis lock mchenry, ares, or afck. microtech becasue of the frame lock the mini socom, mini socom elite. kershaw, the boa, avalanche. i do not know alot about emerson but i hear they are very tough and good knives. oh and crkt, they have a lot of knives
i was ahead of myself, this belongs at this part of the thread
