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.
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.

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.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...
