I am looking for a general utility EDC knife with a blade 3 to 4 inches, and that doesn't cost over about $175. I do not want the knife for personal protection, just general cutting. What knives do you guys recommend for this?
 
Wow...broad topic...here's some of my choices, in no particular order:

--Spyderco military
--BM Axis, 710 (watch those BM edges, though!)
--Almar SERE 2000
You could even save some $$$, and get a Spyderco Endura, or Goddard Lightweight...

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

It is not the fall that kills you. It is the realization that "yes, you did something that stupid."

My vote goes for a benchmade pinnacle (750).
Or how about a camillus EDC

I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer... but I've got the sharpest knife in the room.
 
So much depends on what your daily knife tasks will be and what style of clothing you where. You can can a heavier knife with jeans than you can with light knit slacks.

I would go with the SERE2K if your clothes can handle the weight. If not, I really lile the little BM 940 Osborne.

You could also get two knives ofr your budget and one could be a SERE2K and the other a small Buck or CRK&T for lighter duty and less weight bearing clothing.

Ane believe me, as those around here will tell you, I am certainly not pushing you to buy Benchmade, but the AFCK is a nice user, but not as rugged as the SERE IMO.

Best bet of all, try to find a used small Sebenza!
 
It might help if you were to narrow that down a little; would you consider a fixed blade? Spyderco's Moran makes a nice EDC knife, especially with a kydex sheath. Or consider something by Bob Dozier; nice designs, high quality, good sheaths.

BM 750 in ATS-34

All GREAT! Knives.

Thanks for all of the replies. I really want a folder. I don't think I would like carring a fixed blade around all the time.
