Thanks for the suggestions. While looking I also saw this one which looks neat but doesn't strike me as being an EDC kind of blade. Fails the no tacticool test...AmirMortal wrote:I like CRKT, but Gerber uses really soft steels, and yeah, they barely take and won't hold an edge. I've actually been really impressed by some recent experience with Buck. Their 420HC should be garbage, according to internet 'conventional wisdom' but it seems to take a scary sharp edge and hold on to it for dear life (considering the price)! Seriously considering ordering one of these soon:

Really though I'd you just want performance and don't care as much about looks, this won Field & Stream best of the best award the year it was introduced. I've bought 3 of them so far, and given them all away as gifts, because they're so solid.

Probably be either the Buck 102 or the Cold Steel one for me.
