I like folders beause they're cool and because they're quick, easy, and non-intimidating to use, but I also think they're all for light-duty work. So, I carry a fixed blade, but I also carry the Kershaw Chill for the reasons mentioned, which can be had right now (serrated version) at Cabelas for $12.99. They're light (2 oz), thin, attractive, comfortable, easy to open, and well-constructed (I like the fact it has liners on both sides--unlike the Skyline at two and a half times the price).
