Misplaced my EDC knife

[YALE]

hmm, i remember you recommending cold steel in the fixed blade thread. i've got a finn bear that i carry from time to time. i like it.
EDC is a sog twitch xl.

Yeah, a Finn Bear is a good knife for the money, and their fixed blades are generally pretty good, but their folding knives just aren't what they used to be.

I think I'll order that Kershaw Volt II, just to try it out. Hell, it's only $25. If I don't like it, I'll go back to the Twitch II. I don't know about that Polyimide handle, though, as I liked the heft of the Twitch II, which means I would probably stay away from the wooden-handled Twitch II. I guess we will see.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! Keep 'em coming if you got 'em, as I might be tempted to try something else before I pick up another Twitch II.

I really like my Sog X-ray Mini. It has held up quite well with all the heavy use I give it. I know it isn't a plain blade but I find the half serration comes in handy. The pocket clip allows it to sit nice and deep so the top isn't exposed.

I love my kershaw. I believe it is a speedsafe

Pretty sure yours is a hinderer or cyro

I carry the small sog twitch and like you I love it. It is my favorite knife. I missplaced it two days ago and and felt like I left home without a pair of pants. Just go buy another one since you know you like it. I prefer the lock to be on the back and hate linear releases, but even if the twitch did not have that option it is still a hell of a knife.

I misplaced my twitch, replaced it, and then the original turned up again. It's nice to have a backup.

I love the SOG clips. All the SOG variants I have owned have a clip like that.

I just ordered a Kershaw Volt II, should arrive at the office on Tuesday. Will let you guys know my initial impressions.

Just a heads-up, the top of the knife does stick up a bit with the clip on the Volt II.

That's what I figured when I looked at the pictures and watched a few videos about it. Still gonna give it a try.

As long as you don't catch it on something, I have had to take mine off and bend it back into shape a couple of times.

When I bend this one out of shape I plan to ask them for a replacement off a aegis, that clip is much more flat. When I replace this one the Sog Visionary is the likely replacement. I wish they made a tanto with a straight blade, that profile is much stronger than the drop point in my opinion.

Why not one of these?

I prefer the arc lock knives, they can be just as fast as the assisted blades and close faster as well. I had a Keyshawn liner lock fail while I was using it and almost lost a finger. I don't like the idea of the seat belt cutter, I don't doubt I would end up screwing up a pocket or two.

Just ordered the Kershaw Volt II and the Kershaw OD-2, less than $50 for both!

So this thread got me wanting a new, cheap knife. Ended up with the Gerber Remix. First knife with the open finger hole. Gotta say, i really like it.
