Guys and gals,

I'm thinking about adding another folder to my current ones, which consist of Benchmade, Spyderco and a Chris Reeves.

Things I'm looking for:

-EDC so it can't be overly large
-Must be durable as used for EDC
-S30V for the blade..personal preference
-Frame lock or better...not a fan of liner locks
-Prefer a glass breaker but not a deal-breaker if it doesn't have one
-Cannot be an auto opener - speed-assist is okay but would rather avoid

Striders are coming to the top of the list, but I don't know much about the different models they have.

Throw some suggestions up!

 

Take a look @ BladeForums.com ! Plenty of info & selection there !

 

I have a Strider and love it. I also have a Benchmade auto and a Spyderco Delica. Striders are nice and rugged, and you can beat them to death. The Benchmade Mel Pardue auto I have is pretty amazing as well. It is the sharpest knife I have ever had out of the box. Good luck finding what you want bro.

 

I think I would go with a Blackhawk MOD Dieter

 

Oh shit...guess whose made it to teamspeed! Welcome to the site bro!

 

Btw, that Blackhawk MOD is a friggin beast...geeze that's huge.

 

gotta say one of these is my fav EDC and has all the features you want.

Microtech Knives - SOCOM Elite

I mean when my Emerson isn't in the pocket

 

Microtech has been a favorite of mine but the auto is a no-go, sadly.

 

Definitely! Welcome aboard.
