Searching for the right EDC

Damn Animal,

I probably sound like a broken record carrying on about the Benchmade Bone Collector, but I think it would be one to consider.

G-10 scales, nicely contoured and handfilling

D2 steel blade--tough, keeps an edge. Thick spine and tip on the blade, similar to a sheepsfoot. A good balance between cutting belly and tip strength.

Strong, easy to use lock.

Lifetime warranty and solid customer service.

$100-$120.

Just my $.02,

Heekma

Let me start with a disclaimer - I am not an expert on anything about knives or knife laws.

Now, let me continue with my blather...
I believe the laws/rules change once you step on school property.
It would be a shame to get booted for something like carrying a knife that's just a little too big, or violates some deployment/opening rule.
Many schools aren't tolerant of this kind of thing, depending on the staff's sheepleness.
Check out the knife law part of this forum for some decent info.
 
Okay, I wasn't sure.
Knives I would consider under $200,
Benchmade 710
Benchmade 940
Spyderco Gayle Bradley
Spyderco Stretch II
Kershaw Zero Tolerance 350

There is no particular order to this list, they're all good knives.
 
Look at a Spyderco Dragonfly. I got the G10 version, and love it. I looked and looked for an EDC, and this is the best one I have found so far.
 
my biggest issue with spyderco without realy owning one ever befor this first order is the handle material. I have seen ones like the the Delica is the FRN handles they dont feel right to me to light, I like a heavier knife i guess and FRN handle knives tend to be super light at least from looking at them at the store. But like i said imma try out the tenacious because like previouse people have said its affordable for a decent knife, if i realy like it I will buy a gayle bradley. I wil also still most likley get a BM Bone Collecter because i like its blade alot.
 
Welcome to the forums. I know you're already bought a Tenacious, and I'm sure it's a nice knife. A lot of good reviews around here on it. Have you looked at Kershaw's Lahar? Designed by Tim Galyean, 3.5" blade of VG-10, G10 handles, tip up or down and a very slick flipper. I've used mine for everything from cutting sod to skinning deer to slicing up veggies. Its almost 5" closed and weighs about 5.5 ounces; its on the larger size but not so big as to be uncomfortable to carry. You already know about Kershaw's lifetime warranty, so this is nothing new. One of the big positives about the Lahar is the price. You can find them between $55 and $ 60. It is a lot of knife for the money. I've owned others very similar in size and materials costing $100 or better, and the Lahar beats them all, hands down. Might be worth your time to take a look at it if you haven't already.
 
I have looked at them befor and i realy like the design except for the flipper. My largest complaint with my leek except it feeling almost like a toy when i hold it is the flipper style. It drives me insane because i preffer to open with my thumb stud, and going to try thumb hole. I find the Leeks thumbstud worthless thats why i consider its a flipper
