I have three recommendations.

1. Buck.
2. Buck
3. Buck

A Buck 371 Stockman with burl wood panels is a good looking 4 blade knife that will fit well in your pocket.

If you want a real war horse to wear on your belt, get a Buck 110 or 112, preferably with a drop point blade.

Swiss Army Trekker is my favorite EDC tool, but looks like you are happy to see someone when in the front pocket.
Swiss Army Tinker is smaller and lighter, but also has some good uses.
If just a knife, the Kershaw Leek is very good at a reasonable price.

My absolute favorite EDC it the Benchmade Bugout. Thin and light but sturdy enough to handle anything. I love mine and I bought my son one as well.

I like that. Just bought one on Amazon and will try it out tomorrow.

Never heard of them before but they had good reviews and seemed reasonable.

I like the Boker Burnley, been carrying for a couple of years and it's served me well.

If you’d like a non folding deer skinning or filet knife look at ALDeer. Com and search “custom knives for sale”. Guy’s handle on there is Skullworks (does or did taxidermy work also). He makes custom knives with several different blade styles (mine is a Damascus) with some extremely cool looking handles. Everything from antler to exotic woods to many with polymer surrounding pine cones. They range from $135-225. There’s a very nice one for sale on there now in the classifieds. You can peruse all the different forums without starting an account. In case you wanted something different than all the name brand folders posted previously. He does a great job and will custom make one to your specs.

Leek is great. I just started carrying a Boker auto OTF that is just under 5”. First auto OTF, so getting used to it. I do like it, but different than the Leek I carried for 15 years.

B. Ridiculously priced knives. Just as a frame of reference. Say $200- Whatever you wish u could spend.


The Benchmade 940 Osborne is one of the best pocket knives IMO

Definitely the 940 as a great all around EDC, I have a 940, 940-1, 940-2, and a 940-3. I have lots of other Benchmades too and pretty much all make solid EDC's. I also have Microtech, Zero Tolerance, CRKT, Emerson, Cold Steel, Spyderco, SOG, Kershaw, and many others in my collection. There are tons of great options in those price points, though I try to buy US-made. Kershaw has awesome automatic knives for the money in the Launch series, have a Launch 7950 in my pocket today, got it for $105 which is pretty good for a made in USA knife in Magnacut steel.
