Prefer one with a lock if possible.

Also, bump for more input

Leak has a lock. Or is at least available with one.

SOG Flash II I have it, it's a little large for my liking and I'm not crazy about spring assisted knives, but I got it as a gift, and I'll carry it until I inevitably lose it.

Kershaw Ken Onion Scallion. It has a safety so it won't open in your pocket. It is plastic, and has broken, but Kershaw sent me a new safety bar for free.

Absolutely cannot go wrong with a Kershaw Cyro. I have the G10 scale model. The assisted open is reliable and snaps out quickly. There is a nice detent to it so no need for the locks like on the Scallion models. Those suckers have hair triggers and have engaged in my pocket when I forgot to lock them. The cryo thumb studs are pretty useless but you won't use them with such a nice flipper. They go for about 35 bucks on Amazon with a nice stonewash to the blade. 8Cr13mov steel sharpens easily.

SOG Zoom

I've got 1 of most of the knives mentioned so far. Just got a zoom and a zoom mini and they beat pretty much all the others.

I prefer an Emerson wave over a spring assisted any day but my sogs and Kershaws seem to work well.
