Current favorite folders:
My EDC - Benchmade Osborne 940 green, reverse tanto. Non-serrated. Smooth as silk. Rock solid axis lock. Great blade. Under 3 oz so I sometimes forget that I'm wearing it.
Alt EDC - Benchmade Mini Griptilian, black, drop, thumbstud. Non-serrated. Almost as good as the 940, but slightly shorter blade, not quite as fast, better grip though. Best combination of quality, features, function and price on the planet IMHO. So good, I had to get one for my wife cause she kept stealing mine!
Leatherman wave. Keep it in my car and it's always on my side when camping. Incredibly useful and a great size.
Leatherman micra - Old early silver one. Has been on my key chain for many years.
Large classic Reeve Sebenza with micarta inserts. What can you say except it is one hell of an incredible knife. Very expensive, but just super.

Anyone know anything about a Benchmade 930 with blue handles and a nitrade blade? Limited run about 10 years ago?

I was really bent out of shape about the first Emerson I bought, long story... But the A100 has really grown on my alot. They can be had for cheap enough, easy to sharpen, I dunno. It even looks good scratched up a bit. It has spent several months in my pocket and its just part of my day to day. No single knife was in my pocket for as many years as my Chris Reeve but it wasn't that much better than my Emerson and cost 3 times more. Oh, and harder to sharpen.

BTW I saw the new Spyderco Manix II s90v carbon fiber version for sale. Not only does it have better steel but it is also a full flat grind. Dang, I wish I had money. Dang Toast, why'd you have to show me that? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I just ordered one...only 400 made and it will match my S90V Carbon Fiber Military. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It's only money, right? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Wow, those do not look 'drawn up' at all. That would be a great knife.

I took note of it because it replaces everything I do not like about the Manix II with something I would really really like. I may have to 'accidentally' purchase one and sell something else.

Toast- I think it will be a sweet knife. That S90V holds an edge for ever! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
I'm really liking the RAT concept Mr. P - I would definitely purchase one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
