I have 2 Benchmade Griptillians that I've been very happy with. Both have been back to Benchmade to be sharpened and looked over once in the years I've had them.
I've used them for everything from opening boxes, cutting rope, strong fabrics, and other random miscellaneous jobs. I keep one in my patrol jumpsuit for work at all times. Only downside, they are a think knife so if you wear skinny jeans it won't hide well. They aren't super pricey, no spring assist but it opens fast with the flick of the thumb stud and wrist. So far it has been my favorite utility/ EDC knife. I am adding a SOC-P to the duty belt to have a fast access to a fixed blade to fill a defensive gap I found in training.
