In the market for a new EDC

True. My now discontinued Kershaw Ken Onion Avalanche 1570 just keeps going.

I have the AKC OTF, mainly like you to experiment with the OTF. Works fine, but loses the slide too often to trust it as an EDC. It's also quite stiff to engage and retract. I'm also not impressed with the blade.


I'll really look hard at my next one, as I love the concept, but really need to trust it for EDC. If they all lose the slide, then I just will never be able to trust them and will need a "locking" mechanism, even if I have to give up the automatic, out the front.

Exactly what I got it for, to tinker.

That's the thing, the ones I like have been discontinued. I'm glad I picked up a spare one but now I don't want to carry it in fear of not being able to replace it. They are truly a great knife.
