Looking for a good EDC knife. Prefer a folder for pocket carry, assisted open or wave feature or something similar. Also dont want to break the bank as it just gets used for whatever the hell i need a knife for on the daily. Give me some recommendations please!

You didn’t say what your budget is so your bank and mine might break at different points but this is what I carry every day right now.
The bug out is lightweight, razor sharp and pretty affordable.
The adamas is a beast. It’s heavy and thick (like me). It’s a little spendy but well worth it. I need to send it in to be sharpened, but I use it for cutting rope and stuff all the time since it’s serrated.
The leatherman has a surprisingly good knife on it, but the whole thing is really heavy and I use the pliers more than the knife.
The infidel isn’t cheap but it’s for stabby tasks and wouldn’t be used for utility work.
I literally took them all out of my pockets to take the picture.

Budget is probably under $300. So your recommendations seem to fall in line with that. Adamas looks nice. Not a leatherman fan, too bulky. Not an OTF fan mostly because i am just used to a folder.

I use a Piranha Virus. So far it’s held up great.

My everyday carry :

Actually paid about $180 when Spyderco had their "blem" sale.

I never found a bad spot on it.

Been carrying a ZT0770CF for years. Light, assisted opening, sharp

I've been carrying a cheap ka-bar jarosz knife for a couple years. No issues and $25 if I lose it or break it.

ZT has been my daily for years as well. The 0350TSST.. I switch in and out for my cobra tek OTF but the ZT is my workhorse.

I've carried this Benchmade for a few years. It gets pretty abused and I have no complaints. I cut paper, tape, rubber hoses and wire almost daily. I use it for a pry bar, screwdriver and pick more than I should also...haha

Need to go fondle some benchmades and ZT's

My ONLY complaint about this, would be it's a little slick. Not terrible, but a little bit more smooth than I'd like.

Dremel go “brrrrrr”.

These are my cheap OTF knives.



The one on the top is my EDC.
The bottom one is a desk tool/letter opener.

I’ve bought a ton of folding knives in my life, but after Spyderco released the Paramilitary 2 my knife search was over.

I did buy a Para 3 lightweight that’s nice if you want a smaller version.

Spyderco will be my only brand from here on out.

I carried my Spyderco Delica 4 for years. I finally switched to Benchmade when I had the need to keep my knife on the left side pocket. The Spidey hole rocks with my right hand. With my left I just can't get the hang of it. Spyderco stuff is legit!!

I had a spyderco for a few years, it wasnt as smooth as my 0350.. They make good knives but just not my feel.. I have a Techno 2 listed right now and 5 or 6 ZTs listed as well

My CF Mini Bugout is my favorite knife I've ever owned. Can't imagine ever changing(Of course I used to say that of the Delica 4)
