I feel the need to buy a quality knife... what do you guys carry?

I really did lose a benchmade 9050t while I was in Africa.

I had one of those for a while, the quality was decent but it just didn't feel right so I threw it away.

The one I had got left behind at DFW airport security.

Going through my knife drawer and I found Another benchmaid. 530 Pardue good ultralight knife.

I have one of these but stopped carrying it. The thing had a habit of coming partially open in my pocket and I pealed the skin off of the top of one of my fingers one day when I reached into my pocket.

Spyderco, endura. I carry it everywhere, and had the last one for more than 20 years. Best knife by far, of any I've ever had.

[Chili]

You still using that small belt type sharpener? I think I'm finally going to pick one up this month.

Yes, and am still happy with it, though I just bought a nice fixed blade knife so will probably be picking up some stones for that.

I just got this one, made in the USA, I love it, hard to beat for the price. They have some new auto knives I really like too.

I have a $40 kershaw that has gone more places and done more work than many men i know. Its not going to hold a face shaving edge for too long, but it does its job very well without me being concerned about losing it. Most of the knives mentioned above are finer pieces, but i dont own many fancy things anymore. Its been to rigs, work, fishing, camping...i even use it to regularly peal peaches or avocados at work on my lunch break. If you need just pure functionality, save the money and just get a decent kershaw or gerber.

I used to be a big benchmade nerd, but got tired of losing blade screws. I switched to spyderco, and I love them.

Yup. I have the para2 and a dragonfly2 love me also.

Oops, didn't see your price range. I have no input as I only have benchmades, I had a few cheaper gerbers but they don't hold their edge well enough for me

I've owned several Gerber knives, one for 16 years now. They all have the same thing, stupid sharp when new and sharpened, but lose the edge quickly.

I have daily carried this CRKT for almost 8 years. Holds an edge well, opens very fast and smooth, has a locking safety, and if needed, can be a very effective defense tool.

*that one is an updated design with a plastic type handle. Mine has a light alloy metal handle.
