Heres the deal: you need a knife that you can trust with whatever you may need it for. One you can carry in the city without drawing attention (I'll exclude the legal ramifications for the purposes of this thread), will stand up to utility use, won't crap out on you in harsh conditions, may possibly be needed to defend yourself with (just incase), and will be well rounded in terms of different tasks knives are used for. Lets just say you can't carry a fixed blade because it might be too obvious and too cumbersome for continuous carry. I know that there is no one knife that will do everything perfectly, but since you can only carry one, it has to be able to do most things at least exceptionally,and be trusted in terms of durablity. Bottom line: When you need ONE folder/auto you can trust, that you know wont fail you, what would you choose? A Severtech, Dalton, Spyderco, or Strider? Or maybe you're partial to an emerson with with a wave function? What knife would you choose if you could only carry one that you could trust with your life?
