Help me choose an EDC folder

[fredridge]

I am looking to pick up a new folder. Currently I carry a Kershaw Scallion. The knife is nice, but looking for something a little bigger. Also, for some reason it never seemed that sharp

I also just had a CRKT KISS for a few weeks, but I lost it argghh... I liked the features, but a little small

Here is what I think I am looking for.

Folder
Tanto Blade
blade closer to 2.5"- 3"
Non Serrated - I think
pocket/belt clip
assisted open

Something on the slim side for edc
I like the open look - like the KISS
under the $75 range

I don't know anything about metals so when I read the different materials I get lost.

It will be use for opening boxes, cutting rope, speaker wire. I don't really have anything specific, just random things I encounter daily that a knife is helpful for.

anyone?

I love my Kershaw blur but it may be bigger than you want.

I love my Kershaw blur but it may be bigger than you want.

I like the Blur too but it is rather large.

I EDC a Kershaw Skyline. Manual opener but it's slim and light. They go for about $40.

Why do you prefer Tantos?

[fredridge]

I had that crkt kiss and for opening boxes and a few other things it seemed to work better than my kershaw

[fredridge]

thinking about picking up a SOG mini aegis... any thought?

L.A. Police gear extra 15% off

It's more than you want to spend, but an Emerson Mini CQC7 would fit the bill perfectly and is higher quality than anything mentioned so far except maybe the Benchmade:

I have this and it does not suck. Any Spyderco is also GTG.

Not a tanto, but I bought a Spyderco Delica 4 with the Emerson wave last week.

I am in love.
