I read this article http://straightforwardinacrookedworld.blogspot.com/2015/09/gear-review-crkt-otanashi-noh-ken.html and have carried this ever since. They also make a version under 4", and will soon have it on the market with a flipper. It opens well with the thumb stud, but I am waiting for the flipper version. The big CRKT with a flipper will wear a hole in the bottom of your pocket.

I also have a smaller one (Chill maybe?) that's a little more dressy.<br /><br />Light enough that I don't notice it's there, and cheap enough that if I have to dump it (did I mention NYC?) I'm not out that much. Can open with one hand, the blade locks open (had too many knives close on my fingers to leave out that feature).<br /><br />Before the Skyline my EDC knife was a Kershaw Storm. A couple years ago when Amazon had a sale I bought three Buck 110s, VERY nice knives but a little big and heavy for pocket carry, I'll carry one in a belt pouch when I go fishing.<br /><br />Mark D<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-30665901688770252922018-03-01T06:53:58.635-06:002018-03-01T06:53:58.635-06:00One of the Buck Bantam's just is 'just you...One of the Buck Bantam's just is 'just your size' would work well I think.

Strong as can be. I've been carrying a Barrage with G10 scales and S30V steel for a while. It has been a great knife and has seen some rough duty. Assisted opening works like a charm.

Kershaw seems to be a good knife, and I've never had a problem with customer service, but their spring assist leek just dissent seem to spring open after a while.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497453361728857793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-26370018869134264132018-02-28T21:41:50.353-06:002018-02-28T21:41:50.353-06:00Agree, Kershaw Leek.

It has a pocket clip and a spring assisted blade. Nice sharp warncliffe point. You can get them with no serrations. It's about $50, and worth it.
