I've been rocking a Kershaw "Needs Work" for a couple years now. Hasn't let me down, takes a good edge and holds it long enough to to suit me for what I use it for.
I want to try one of the Kershaws with the "composite" (high carbon steel on edge, lower carbon steel for spine) blade, but haven't yet.

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

I carry a leatherman wave, a spyderco civilian and a benchmade push knife.
The leatherman is a daily work tool, the other two are for fucking things up.

A drop of oil and opening it a bunch will smooth that out and make it much easier to open.
Lea used to get pissed at me when I got my first one because I would constantly open and close it while watching TV to get the action broken in some.
Although I carry it daily, I don't use it heavily, so the cheaper one is better for me. I mainly use it for opening boxes, cutting small items like 550 cord, and cleaning the dirt from under my fingernails.I do have to sharpen mine (hone, really) more often than I would if I forked over the money for one like yours, but still only about once a month or so.
I actually just ordered another one because I seem to have lost mine last weekend. It's somewhere in the house but after looking for it for hours, no luck. And given the price, I figured it was worth buying. Luckily they are even cheaper now than when I bought my first. The first one was like $26.. Now they are only about $17!

I own both a full size Griptilian and a Mini Griptilian and I've put custom scales on both of them as the plastic ones really make the knife feel cheap. But they are solid knives and I really like the Axis lock on them.
And a really good knife for the money is a Spyderco Tenacious.
