I am currently in the hunt for a quality carry knife. Any recomendations? Emerson, Benchmade etc?
I have a few Emersons and have been very happy with them. I have also had good luck with Benchmade. Strider seems to be a favorite with the hard-use crowd. The new Zero Tolerance offerings are very intriguing as well.
Please elaborate on your requirements, so that others might be better equipped to advise you.
3.5"-4.1" blade, fast blade deployment. I have looked at the ZT knives but they are a little out of my price range for a EDC and arent they an auto knife? Not legal in this state. I wanted to buy a SOCFk but the Extreme outfitters didnt have the Type B serrated anymore.
I have been very pleased with my Emerson SOCFK "A" plain edge.

If you really want a "Sock" knife, collectors on the Usual Suspects Network sometimes have them for sale/trade.
i got my emerson comander for 50 bucks (it helps to have a buddy thats a dealer) any way i carried that thing for years but now i find myself carring a benchmade mel pardue............
My EDC is a Bladetech Tim Wegner Pro-Hunter. Going on 2 years now, I've used it for pretty much everything including some light prying and digging. Has held up great. I highly reccomend it.

I ordered a pair of Strider/Buck 882BKX's from the Buck website for $40.00 each with free shipping. They are on sale, Buck's normal MSRP is $154.00 each.

Benchmade 2550 Mini Reflex for me.
Same here. I have the serrated version. I've had it for probably a year now, and it's used daily, love it.Quote:

Benchmades customer service is great they are upgradeing it for only $5 return shipping. I have to say I could not pass up that deal at Buck knives for the 882 for $40 shipped.
