    I would say Kershaw for sure.
    I have had good Gerbers also and I have a lot of Victorinox Swiss army knifes - one in each car, in my desk drawer and even a small keychain one on my keys. They are okay for everyday use since they have the different options, but I would say if you look for just good quality knife Kershaw would be it.

    For utility and no BS nothing beats a Randall knife for the last 70+ years. www.randallknives.com/

    Problem is 5-6 year waiting list from the factory or you can pay a little markup from dealers who have them because they ordered them a few years back. Als if you are deployed, they will give you an option of six models and get it to you in 3 weeks or so.

    You can't go wrong with a Benchmade.

    The Benchmade 530 (the black handled one) is my EDC. I do have my eye on a new one though. :D

    FWIW - I found my Gerber Paraframe in my toolbox a couple days ago that I thought was long gone. Sweet!

    neglect, mostly.
    like every proper american boy, i have always loved knives. i used to collect them and what not. Always had a love for Gerbers. but, if it's shorter than six inches long i will lose it. i have probably lost $500 worth of knives over the course of my life (one the day after christmas last year), so i don't buy nice ones anymore. I cant walk without the feel of one clipped in my back pocket though, so i buy 5 of the $1 ones from walmart at a time. they are strictly functional and work good enough for me. they're folding and have a locking blade.

    I buy 5, about a month goes by, ive lost them all, repeat.

    I agree the tip is pretty thin on that model. I've never broken the tip on either of the ones i've owned, but I can see it happening.

    It all really depends on your budget and uses.

    I would recommend a
    $188 Zero Tolerance 0350 Folding Pocket Knife; 3.25” S30V Stainless Steel Blade with Black Tungsten DLC Finish; Textured G-10 Handle Scales, SpeedSafe Assisted Opening, Liner Lock, Quad-Mount Clip; 6.2 OZ.
    Zero Tolerance 0350, but they run around $110.

    If you want to keep it cheap, a Kershaw Skyline is a great small every day carry knife.

    If you wanna go a bit bigger, then the Cold Steel AK-47 is perfect, and its under $50.

    Here is my daily work knife. Its a benchmade Mini Rukus. I used to have the full size Rukus but lost it. Had to have another so bought this one. It has S30V Stainless steel blade and a very well built handle out of micarta. Also own Spyderco's,Tops,and a couple hand made knives.
