So, as far as the thread title, I definitely prefer a plain edge.

As far as the perfect EDC knife it is really going to depend on the person and what they expect out of it. For me, anything that is made of a quality steel and will hold a decent edge and has about a three inch blade is ideal for me. I definitely prefer a folder that is easily opened and closed with one hand.

I?m currently carrying a Spyderco Para3 and I?m happy with it.
