They are my favorite one hand pocket knife. I have had a Spyderco Delica for 15 years. It is my backpacking/house work knife.
I bought a Kershaw Scallion, which I just don't like because of the auto assist. If shipping to Canada wasn't so much I'd sell it to you for $20!

i tell ya. i fly all the time now for work and never check bags. one of the things i miss on the road the most is my little pocket knife. i'm so used to having it handy, and not being able to fly with one really bugs me.
I make a donation to the TSA about once a year, as no matter how diligent I try to be I still end up at the scanner with a small blade about that often.
Here is my latest replacement:

It's my second Boker, and at $35 it's hard to beat.
There is a single blade version of that that looks pretty swell, too.
Do a Google search for "Boker Plus Tech-Tool". The CC one above is a co-branded version of their Tech-Tool series that has a bunch of options.
I picked up Buck 357 as a replacement for my AWOL Stockman earlier this summer. The 357 is pretty much the perfect knife for my needs.
Just because I wanted a new knife, not because I needed it. But, it is cool and the perfect size for carrying everyday. There's something about an automatic that makes me giggly.

Thanks. I'll never struggle to open a beverage again.

I've got this Kershaw and really like it. Got it as a gift from my father in law several years ago, it mostly sat in a drawer as I didn't carry a knife every day. But when I started spending every day in my shop I found it incredibly useful, so now I'm always carrying it, and of course use it a lot outside of the shop as well. I like having the clip, makes it super easy to get, and doesn't get mixed in with my keys (left pocket is my phone, right is keys and knife). Blade has a lock to keep it closed, but I rarely lock it. Once open the blade locks in place of course. I like the shape of the blade, I've found it seems to cut better than a straighter blade.
You'll notice one spot where I damaged the edge a bit near the tip, I forget what I was doing exactly, but it was something kind of stupid. Prying something apart probably. Still cuts great. I've never sharpened it or even used a steel on it.

Why do people feel the need to list all of their bikes in their signature?
I bought one of these as a gift for the landowner that lets us duck hunt his land. Had it engraved "Thank You", made a lanyard and tied it to a handle of Capt. Morgan. I really want to get one for myself. Smooth open/close, relatively thin and reasonably priced.

I'm no gentleman, but if I were, this would be a nice pocket knife. ;)

I ordered one of Carter's Nakiri, which should be fun. I can post photos of cut fingers later. ;)
Boker plus tech tool initial review:
Its tactile feedback is not as crisp as I would like. Half-stops are vague, sort of non-existent, and it doesn't snap open or shut the way I generally like for a slip joint.
Steel seems to be good quality and very sharp. I like the pocket clip. Fit and finish are nice -- no rough edges, etc.
At $30, it's definitely a keeper for when I want to carry something smaller and more civilized than the PM2.
Boker Plus CLB DW-1
Tiny, kludgy to open and close, sharp as a razor blade.
The pocket clip was designed for a tank. Removed it immediately and now it actually fits in a pocket.

I had a meeting in Golden, CO which happens to be the home of Spyderco. Oh and they have a factory outlet... I now have a Spyderco Dragonfly which just might be the perfect knife. It is smaller than the Delica (on top) but you can still open it with one hand.

Yup, I looked at it n amazon and thought it might be too small. I can’t think of a reason I need a bigger knife.
