Kershaw Avalanche partially serrated with G10 handle. The assisted opening is just a terrific option. I also have a SOG Flash II but IMO it's not the knife that the Kershaw is. (That safety on there is the worst idea ever). I used to think that my Cold Steel Voyagers were the best but the assisted opening Kershaws are just too great.

I also once believed that the SOG safety on my knife was a bad idea -- that is until it opened in my pocket.

Now I am beginning to wonder about my handguns which have no safety.

cwblanco... haven't been "fortunate" enough to have it open like that in the last couple of years. ha! That could be pretty exciting I bet. I'll try to block that out of my mind now. ha!

I carry the CRKT M-16 (small version). It is light (the larger one is a bit heavy and really not that much gained in length) and very, very easy to open with either hand and yet not a switchblade. It has a thumb stud, but that really just serves as a stop. The knife works wonderfully by using the 'flipper', but, with practice, there is even a better way: smoothly yet quickly draw from pocket while grasping it mid-point of handle and continue to raise arm. The blade simply snaps into place. Emphasis on smooth. This also works for the AG Russell zytel handed one-hand knife. In fact the Russell has a little spot for thumb placement. The Russell only weighs 1.1 oz with a 3 inch blade, and it is very slim (but no clip).

If a 4" blade is legal in your area - I'd buy a 4"
Just my personal preference that all other things being equal regarding knives 4" is better than 3" because it gives you 1 extra inch of reach and penetration.

So true. Try to carry the largest blade you can. I recently picked up a Benchmade 710 in D2. It surprised me, & now I now why many Benchmade lovers say this is their favorite model. It's just under 5" closed & the blade is just under 4", but it carries like a smaller knife. It's less intrusive, why reaching into my pocket with it clipped in it, than my Spyderco Delica 4 waved (3" blade).

Just do what I did...

Last Sunday I was helping my Dad clean the garage when I found what seemed like a chunck of solid gold. A Benchmade 905 with C10 grips and titanium locker and tanto blade.
