Figures they don't have the base model I would buy. OOSQuote:

Kershaw Launch 5 and Boker Kalashinikov74

MrPrena, we have similar tastes. I also have a similar Boker and Kershaw. I like the Kerahaw much more than the Boker. Then I got a Benchmade, and I like it even more than the Kershaw. But they each have their role, and get carried accordingly. A couple things I like less about the Benchmade, but I’ll figure it out.Quote:

I started very late on EDC Knife (3q this year), and It saves me so much time having one. I do not need to look for box cutter/scissors 3+ times per day now. :D
Yeah, that’s the Rukus II (auto reincarnation of the Rukus). It has a silly little safety that likes to engage itself, and I’ll probably epoxy that in place. Also, the button on it is a bit tall and tries to rip the fingernail off my pinky when I put my hand in my pocket, but I’ll get used to it. The Benchmade also has the sharpest edge from the factory I’ve ever had. And I agree, carrying a knife comes in handy every single day, and I feel like an idiot on the rare instances when I don’t have one on me, but need one.Quote:

I really like the blade profile and handle shape (probably my favorite style), and if Kershaw would make a larger version, in a 2.75-3" blade length, I'd be all over it, as it would be a good alternative to the Benchmade 3551 Stimulus that I've wanted for a long time, but can't seem to dish out the $$ for. Anyone have one of these mini's they can comment on?

No experience with the 4 but seriously considering the 5 or 7! Hope someone chimes in!

The 3 and 5 are also on my radar for the future, but since our CA trip is coming up, I think I may pick up the 4 sooner than later. Although very small, I think the 4 would accomplish 90% of my daily tasks, which aren't much, most of the blades on my knives still look new, and the ZT0350 I carry is likely way overkill for my uses.Quote:
