I think the time has come that I replace my EDC (Kershaw CQC-3K). I love it and have carried it since 2014. It has been through hell and back and I only lost it once for a few months before my brother in law found it in his backyard when he was raking lol. It?s definitely a budget knife but it?s served me well. I?m looking to upgrade and wanted to see what other members are carrying.
I?d prefer the following:
Auto or assisted opening
~3.5? blade or less
Non serrated
Not really putting a budget on it because I may pick up a couple of different ones along the way.
Benchmade seems to come up a lot during my search so I?ve been looking at the Freek, AFO, Triage and Auto-Stryker series. Any suggestions?
Here she is and all her glory:
