Kershaw ken onion, been using them since they came out about 10 years ago. I love the assisted opening of then.

Pricey, but awesome knife. My friend bought one and it's VERY high quality.

I have that same glock in 40 but I put an extended clip on it. It looks like an Uzi.

Oh, I have a couple benchmades, one for carry and one as a keepsake. Carry is assist open without serrated blade. I also have a few other random knives that I have picked up along the way but nothing like my benchmade

Benchmade... Expensive, but worth it... made in the USA. I carry one every day that I got for my 16th birthday, and I'm 31.

X2 - Kershaw Ken Onion assisted throw FTW, best blade at that price point. Got 3 different friends this blade as a gift and they've all said it's the best daily carry they've had. The half serrated scallion seems to be the perfect size (the chive version is too small in my opinion). Skip the cheaper polyamide handle and spring for the stainless version, worth the extra 5 bucks.

Lightweight, durable and sharper than an Asian kid in math class. I wouldn't fret too much if I lost it, it's not like I dropped $300 on it.

I've carried, SOG, CRKT, Gerber, Buck, etc. and Kershaw is by far my favorite.

looks like a great knife. i ended up ordering an m16-14sfg. the blade is a little bigger than id usually go for (3.8 vs 3.5) but the handle on the -14 is a little bigger at around 5 inches and might fit my hand better than the 4 inch handle on the -10. still has the auto locking feature and the flipper/guard. also features veff serration, which is top notch and a bit easier to sharpen from what ive been reading.

only thing im worried about is the size, but going by the measurements on the crkt website, it shouldnt be too bad. normally i wouldnt buy a knife without holding it first, but nobody stocked one in the area so i had to take a chance. for 45 bucks, why not.

I carry the stainless Chive, yeah its small, but thats why I like it. Sometimes that thing will open in your pocket if the safety slide is worn out (which mine is). If you are wearing slacks it will cut them without a doubt. Its great though.

I also carry a Spyderco Endura that has been good to me for about 12 years.

but what about the Cold Steel AK-47? very nice and strong knife

Has trident lock that supports 600 pounds of pressure

carry this knife everyday, the "F.A.S.T." blade is pretty tight. actual blade is nice and sharp and durable. paid about 50-60 for it.
