Looking for a new pocket knife

[redneck1861]

Hey Yall, I am looking for a new good pocket knife. I don't want to spend more than $100 on it. I usually carry a Gerber or Kershaw. But Gerber's quality seems to have gone to hell. all of the new ones that I have handled feel really cheaply made. Kershaw just doesn't have anything new that I like. So I want to know yalls opinion on what is a good folding pocket knife. I normally beat the hell out of mine. so it needs to be something that will hold up to what I put them through. but needs to cost less than $100.

What do yall suggest?

Benchmade, specifically the Griptilian.

For under $100 I would definitely check out CRKT.
I've had an M16-13Z for almost 8 years now and it's still in my pocket quite often because it takes the beatings I lash out. (prybar, chisel, screwdriver, and occasionally I'll cut something with it)

I had a Leatherman Juice Xe6 for a while and I loved the hell out of that thing. I haven't seen it in a while though; I'm beginning to think I lost it

Seriously, you will never go back to having "just a knife." I don't need a metal file often, but the few times I have, I was REALLY glad to have one in my pocket.

These are by no means the best but the ones i have had served me well, plus im a broke college kid lol.

I am currently carrying a SOG Flash II that I picked up at lowes for right around $50. I have also been happy with the Kershaw Ken Onion Series. If I had the coin to spend a little more on a knife though I think it would have to be a benchmade.

The sog topo meridian is less than forty bucks on amazon. I've been thinking about picking one up.

Swiss Army knife. That's all you really need.

This has been in my pocket for years. It's thin and half the size of the big folder, but feels smaller. Holds an edge well and is made in the USA.
