Just realized something about myself... I'll throw a Kimber in the mud to prove a point, but I won't carry a $400 knife because I'm afraid I'll scratch it
Some of my truck knives... remember the barn scene in Twister?
Cold Steel Kobun 5.5"
Kershaw Speedsafe 3"
Buck 326 Scholar 2"
Gerber Trendy 2" USA?, because it's on my keychain I never forget it, and the quality is excellent. Good for 90% of jobs average folks need done, best toothpick size knife I've ever owned.
