What’s your EDC pocketknife?

Picked up a new one from off grid knives to try out. It has a nice quick action on it but my old Gerber is still more comfortable in the hand. Not a bad knife, still breaking it in.

This one is my light weight Gerber, it's usually attached to my work bag. Not as nice as my heavier Gerber but sometimes when I want something lighter to carry I grab it instead.

I used to carry a Kershaw Crown the "Gentleman's knife" because it wasn't scary and I could still open a box or a person if I needed to. Unfortunately I live in an area that is pretty much scared of everything and most office buildings that don't like you "having a weapon". So I leave them at home or in my car and avoid the problems.

I can't bring myself to spend the money for a Benchmade, I'm kind of rough on my EDC. I keep seeing some tempting stuff out there, but would rather spend the money on my hobby. Now if I had the extra money to spend... :)
I've got more than a few Benchmades and they are very nice. They are a bit pricey but they will also replace the blade or fix things if you damage it. However, I would not recommend the newer Benchmades, specifically anything with the polymer grips - Griptillion, Bailout, Bugout etc. I find them hard on the hands and they just feel cheap.

The main reason I don't/didn't carry them all the time is because they are expensive to loose. If I went to the airport and left my $15 Kershaw or CRKT with TSA I wouldn't loose any sleep.

If you want a Benchmade look on eBay there are some good deals on used ones. I like the spring assist and axis lock models. The G10, micarta, aluminum and natural materials make nice grips.

This one has 0 bids, it opens at $80 and looks to be in good condition.

Needs a clean 😆
 
Just got it really not to long ago. It's an automatic which are legal in my area.

It's nothing special. I'm sure it's probably Chinese or something. It feels good in the hand and honestly, it's more of a fidget toy than anything haha

The nice thing is that the retailer i bought it from gave me a lifetime warranty.

If anyone knows anything about the brand let me know!
