Cutting cardboard would be different than cutting seatbelts or rope, for instance.
Just general in case of need. I have odd luck so could be as simple as cutting fishing line to cutting myself free of a seat belt. I will never throw out the fact I may end up in another knife fight.
And regarding defensive uses, a fixed blade is honestly more useful.
I am actually thinking of an Esse 3 or maybe even Esse 4
How are you thinking of carrying it? Clipped to a belt, clipped to a pocket, in a belt sheath? Is there a particular type of lock you prefer - frame lock, liner lock, compression lock, Axis lock, etc?
Thinking clipped to belt in a sheath.
I'm not a Cold Steel fan at all. I own a lot of Spyderco's. And I have a lot of other knives as well - Benchmade, ZT, Buck, Kershaw, Emerson, etc etc.
The good news is that there are a lot of folks putting blades on sale right now, at very good prices. So you are posting this at a great time.
Give us some more data, and I am sure we can help you refine your choices.
