What’s a good EDC knife

Benchmade Bugout

I also need a new knife. I lost my Benchmade mini grip after like 7 years, which was the GOAT IMO, but they stopped making them in different colors for some dumb reason. I've been waiting on KnifeWorks to stock more of the Doug Ritter Mini RSKs which are basically a clone.

I've been wanting to check out a Bugout but I've heard that the scales are kinda flimsy. Anybody have thoughts on that?

Boker Kalashnikov Auto Dagger style. It has a thick spline, snaps open quickly, and retains an edge.

I carried a Kershaw leek for a decade and my wife broke my blade prying on something with it.

She pried something with a Leek?

You didn't say price or if you care if it's made in the US. The Kershaw Cryo is a solid, inexpensive Chinese option and the tip is significatly thicker than the Leek if your wife wants to play Bob the Builder again. It has all the features you're looking for.

If you want to spend some money there are countless good options.

ETA It may be made in Taiwan, I just know it's one of their foreign models. It's a helluva value.

If I have a belt I always carry a case trapper. If not I carry a leek. Was thinking about getting a Kershaw launch. Handled one a couple weeks ago and really liked it.

I bought these three recently. I really like all three, but I mostly carry the Kizer.

I haven’t touched my mini grip since I got a mini Osborne and carbon bugout.

I carry a SOG Pentagon Xr. They're $150 give or take.
