    My SOG folder is fantastic, never had any problems, I've carried it literally every day for the last 4 years and used it for ranch work. if you spend money for quality, a good folder won't do you wrong. However, a fixed blade (such as the mini KaBar or full size one) are fantastic, but a little hard to carry every day.

    My wife carried one (rainbow) for 4 years or so until she got a new Benchmade last year. She loved it.

    I have a benchmade 941 for EDC and I love it. Check out the gold class Benchmades for some really dressy stuff!

    I really like the look and thin-ness of the Leek. I'm a sucker for the wave opening system too, so I'd likely find a way to take off the thumb stud and throw a zip tie on it. With the assisted opening, that sucker will be so fast...

    Folder in the front pocket all the time. Izula in the jacket pocket. RAT-3 in the day bag/man purse/'puter bag. All are primarily for utility.

    I carried a fixed on the belt for a while but with the work I do it kept hanging up on everything. switched back to a good folder

    That's what holds me back about a fixed blade knife. Just seems like it would get hung up on stuff. Plus I'm always moving and doing stuff, so my shirt likely wouldn't keep it covered. With my current knife, it hides well and doesn't exactly "advertise" 1. that its even there at all, and 2. its size.

    I have a Kershaw 1620. The speedsafe assited opening is awesome.
