Recommendation? Time For a New EDC

[EricT64]

I would recommend the Pena Lanny’s Clip Looks old school and not too intimidating.

A tad shorter than 3", but ive become a fan of my Axial Enzi for deep office carry. Underrated imo.

 

[greater]

Hogue Deka.

 

[ktataragasi]

Tactile rockwall? Right under 3 inches, deep carry clip, good materials.

Since people are throwing trads into the mix - I'd have recommended an Opinel; but I don't see it as a ziptie and cable kind of knifeView attachment 2025434
(I've been carrying knives for almost 50 years; and this is my first Opinel. I've even carried it a couple of times...which is only noteworthy because I honestly figured I'd have put it back in the box and set it on the shelf)

Given your budget there are a bazillion options. Have you tried a Holt yet? They're terrific and the Morpheus is about the right size at a bit over 3 inches.

.No harm in adding some modern day touches though. I've always meant to grab one of these Spyderco Swayback jack pieces but never have yet.

Or a Peña. I wish I had a grand to drop on a custom.

Is that with pancakes?

Most used knife I have is probably my Olamic Busker... not big not tiny... great ergos... good steel. Basically custom for around 400 and change. and you can choose for 4 different blade types.

 

[Ruari]

Cold Steel Code 4 spearpoint. Slim, robust, deep carry, ideal.

As an office knife/in polite company knife I really like my carbon fiber Bugout.

Suggest you take a look at some William Henry’s, see if something tickles your fancy. They really are made to use, not just “pocket jewelry.”

 

[JeremiahWeaver09]

how about a spyderco native, its light and easy to carry and use

 

[Ironbut]

Something around 3"? How about a plain old Spyderco LE Native, or a Benchmade Bugout? They're both light weight, pocket friendly, and can handle just about any cutting chores.

Or, an Alox SAK, like a Pioneer or Electrician. I always have an Alox with me, and they get used alot. You'll probably find multiple uses for it every day.

 

[mmyron1]

Hogue Mini Ritter. Plenty of options for handle colors. Right around 3in and great steel.

Is that with pancakes?

Yep. Sourdough pancakes from scratch. It's something of a tradition for me to make a big batch of pancakes or waffles most every Sunday. It's also a tradition that I post a pancake and knife pic on another forum I frequent.

Intimidating I am not worried about. I am the guy with 50 cal rounds on my desk. I think the guy who sits next to me put it best, I got all the time and patience in the world as long as I think you are worth my time.

Interesting. I have always liked the designs but for one reason or another never really picked one up.

Find a knife shop or jewelry store that has a good selection ad handle a few. They may surprise you.
