Thanks,

I'm really sold on Cold Steel knives, ever since a pal brought one to work a few years ago, and it got "adopted" as the store food prep knife. Hasn't broken, hasn't dulled, yet I've had to order two replacements because occasionally it comes up missing.

ESEE 3 or izula

Busse sar3, game warden, active duty, hack

Swamprat vex, swamp warden, rodent solution <--- this one is available from the company store now

Scrapyard scrapivore

Bark River aurora - might be a little bigger than what youre after

Blind horse workhorse, I would recommend any of their knives, as well as the Busse/swamprat/scrapyard knives.

these are the ones I have experience with and would recommend.

For fixed blade, I love the Izula. Durable, excellent sheath, grips can be customized or wrapped easily, high quality, good price point...

Folder, with assist if possible, and a belt clip. Purpose is for function and protection. I use a knife alot during my normal job duties and I carry one around just in case. So, it needs to be durable. Sorry, should've been a bit more specific.

I EDC a SOGzilla, it's inexpensive, I like the design, nice pocket clip, it's stood up to several months of abuse, and if I lose it, I'm not out much.

I like the Kershaw Scallion. It has a 2 1/4 inch blade which deploys very quickly with the assist. It's also under $30.

This is my current EDC blade. Loving it so far, keeps an edge good too.

I've had one of the Leeks for probably 7 years. It was used daily for breaking down boxes, cutting wrap on skids, occasional peeling apples, cutting bait, and other various things. I don't carry the Leek as often anymore because I found a little Gerber that does the job for daily stuff and since I found it, I won't mind much if I misplace it or lose it. I don't think you could go wrong with a Leek or Scallion as something small and cheapish.

If you want an assisted folder, I recommend looking at Zero Tolerance. The 300 series is a beast if you want something big, and the 350's are similiar, and scaled down a bit. Personally, I would suggest the 300 due to it's titanium frame lock as opposed to the 350's liner lock, but both use S30V steel, are American made, and are backed by KAI's awesome warranty.
