Keep it at or under 3.5" and stay away from auto/switch blades. Spring assist is okay.

Find a store with a good knife selection and start fondling.

Benchmade and Kershaw are my two favorite companies. Good steel. Good ergonomics. Good selection.

damn I love that shalot. is it for sale ore trade posibly? my brother has the JYD composite and and I think its awesome

Another vote for Kershaw. Mine is a Volt II, assisted opening, inexpensive but decent quality for EDC. Not out megabucks if I should lose it.

just bought one on ebay for 17 bucks Ill try it out

I know there are a lot haters out there but I like Benchmade. If your .mil or LEO you can get a pretty good discount on their website.

Go check out the Spyderco store in Golden - http://www.spyderco.com/
They have a great selection and usually some sort of special going on like buy two get one for free type deal.
I have a few and some others but the Spyderco's are my first choice.

Don't they have some kind of once-a-year sale in their store?
