[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3380287, member: 34578"] I would also say to avoid serrated blades. In my years and years of carrying a knife I have never found a need for a serrated blade. In fact a regular flat blade is more versatile. My everyday carry knife for the last 3 years has been the Kershaw Grid. It's inexpensive, assisted open with a flipper, and 8Cr13Mov blade that does a very decent job of holding an edge. In fact I bought another for a backup when I found them on sale for $35. Here's the new one vs the one I carry. I use it almost daily and I use it hard. I have used it as a scraper, to mark cuts on wood and metal, to pry out staples and small nails, as a small draw knife, cut small trees and limbs up to 1" thick, even baton those same 1" limbs for kindling and I've even used it to cut lunch a few times. Yes it's made in China, but it sure is not junk. Its not a $200 knife, but the best part is not having to cry when it gets lost. I do regularly touch up the edge (mostly out of habit) but I've never had to reshape the edge or spend a long time resharpning. [ATTACH=full]165893[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
