Please help me with finding the best carry knife

You could carry a $15 Opinel for the rest of your life and be just fine....[snips].....My suggestion is to avoid a big purchase and, instead, buy a few $20 and under patterns to try out. They are easy to find used and some companies like Rough Rider will get near that price point (they don't suck, actually)....[snips].....Once you've found a basic pattern that works for you, then you can think about finding just the right version of that style of knife and you can sink big bucks into something with a lot more confidence.....

Whit301: Given your initial question, Pinnah's reply is the most on-target I've seen. Get a couple of cheap-and-cheerful knives, try 'em out to see what works — and that may show it takes more than one type to meet your needs — then you'll be ready to make a smart buy of a more expensive make in the pattern(s) that work for you.
 
I read your post and based on what I think you are saying, the Case Swaybacks are awesome knives for the price you pay, but, let me give you just one more piece of advice, since you requested such. If you plan on browsing this forum for very long at all, I would suggest that you put off any purchase until you have browsed through quite a few pages of http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...uot-Traditional-Knife-quot-are-ya-totin-today. That might give you a pictorial view of what you might like best. The forum knife that will be coming up for sale in the near future would most likely make an excellent choice for you, as well. I plan on getting at least one and I surely don't need any more knives. :D

Best regards,
