Hi everyone.
I won't ask the question of "which knife should I get? X vs. Y?" because I've read through alot of these pages, and it's been done to death.
However, I don't claim to be anywhere near as knowledgable on the subject of knives, so I'll ask what you guys would suggest, per my parameters, because I simply have no idea about which knives to really ask about.
I had a Benchmade AFCK in D2 steel that I loved, but seemed to have lost it somewhere over the last few weeks. It was my Go-to EDC knife, because it handled everything that I threw at it, and kept ticking. I'm a huge fan of Spyderco Police and Delica models, but I always seem to break them. I started carrying my AFCK in M390 recently, and managed to break the tip on that one too. I'm down to using my old Buck 110 knife (it's actually my dad's, but he left it at my house, and posession is 9/10th of the law), but I really don't want to use it much, since his dad gave it to him 40ish years ago.
I'll admit that I'm pretty hard on knives, and that I don't always use them properly. I pry at nails, cut drywall, use them as chisels, and overall beat the crap out of them daily. To me, they're a tool, and I don't mind beating one up.
I've been looking for something new to fill my needs as a knife that does well at cutting and slicing, but has the ability to use it as the "all-in-one" tool that I keep in my pocket. I only require that it has a pocket clip, be of larger blade (between 3 and 4.25 inches), and cost less than $600. I already have a Victorinox multi tool, and an older SOG multi tool, but I need something that I can clip in my pocket, instead of carrying on a belt.
I've looked into the Striders, and I think it's a good place to start, but when it comes to knives I don't pretend to know all of the makers and models.
If there's another post where the OP has the same requirements/question, please post a link and I won't waste your guys' time.
Thank you.
