What's your favorite blade shape/tip configuration for a folding EDC?

In lieu of that, what would y'all recommend as an intro to the world of Wharnies? Not to sidetrack this topic too far...

If you have the cash to drop, Id say any of William Henry's knives. They are some of the nicest looking wharnies Ive seen. In production blades I like Spyderco's VieleII and Kiwi. I recently traded my Viele and am starting to miss it. I ll probably end up purchasing another one. If you are more of a Benchmade guy, the 921(switchback variation) looks up to snuff. Hope this gives you somewhere to start, good luck finding something you like.

Cheers.

Joe and Aces, thanks for the tips! I have, in fact, been giving the Kiwi and the Caly Jr. some serious looks. Currently, money is an object, but these 2 knives are affordable and seem to be high-quality, from all I've heard about 'em. So, there's some further confirmation for me to check 'em out! :thumbup:

And, nope, I'm not planning on doing any prying with them; I've got a fixed-blade that I'm making myself as a tough edc; the idea behind the folder is that it's super-sharp and able to do fine work. The fixed, while not particularly giant, is the hard-use knife. Now, I've just gotta put some handle scales and an edge on it...

thanks for the tips, guys!
