Eh, most of the "must haves" don't exactly set my pants aflame with desire.
CRK: $300+ for freaking S30v/S35vn. Pass. No amount of fit and finish makes that reasonable to me.
Paramilitary 2: Had one, sold it. The compression lock is unique, but occasionally awkward and fingerpinching. Also, blade play is a design flaw, not an acceptable trade-off.
Opinel: No pocket clip = no carry.
Most slipjoints: Most have no pocket clips, and don't allow for easy one-handed opening. Even those that do aren't functionally superior to locking folders.
Svord: See Opinel
Cryo: Nonremovable AO. Pass.
Must haves that I actually do want:
Strider SMF in Z-wear or 3V
SAK with a pocket clip. (Mostly for the scissors)
