Trail-Boss:
I have the big version of this in my pocket right now, Its a pretty good knife. Been using it for about a year... easy one hand deployment, pretty solid construction and the blade keeps an edge alright.

daily carry: missing a screw toward the blunt end and before i knew what i was doing i stripped the bolts that hold on the clip. soooo i cant tighten it and its real loose but its a great knife size wise.
got this one for christmas from the old lady, havent used it much. anything over 3 inch blade is a little excessive and bulky for my daily carry
i use my knife all the time for shit. especially at work, opening shit, cutting foot, acquiring things, etc.

--- Quote from: jonathan;3520235 ---hey guise, I don't know a lot about knives, but I once had a nice Spyder pocket knife and lost it. i have a $20 gift card from REI and I was hoping to spend $20-30 on a new one. I just need something that clips in my pocket and can be used for everyday stuff like opening packages and slicing fruit. any suggestions?
Dajo Ascent
Gerber Evo Jr Serrated
Columbia River Pazoda (with awesome spork thing!)
Gerber Remix
etc
so REI has a lot of knives under $30. what's going to be most useful for me?

i've had 2 evo juniors and get the serrated blade version. great knife very solid, but not exactly a speedy draw knife but great for everything, not bulky, and pretty good price. the clip is a bitch to get on your pocket if its not broken in, but that means its tight and wont fall off i guess.
Spunk Nautical:
we have this sick one hand operation leatherman in the shop at the moment that id have no use for whatsoever but just looks and feels sick.
on a slightly related note some guy came into the shop a week or so ago and started venting at me about how outrageous it was that we were selling this bear grylls knife(its the largest in the range, the blade’s about 4-5 inches long) and how kids look up to bear grylls and theres nothing it would be useful for except putting holes in people etc. i told him that it’s not going to do anything your standard kitchen chopping knife couldnt do and to email the company. should have told him about the delivery of the big fuck off bear grylls machetes we're waiting on.
jonathan:
I have been considering buying a machete for clearing trails while mountain biking for a while. they are certainly very useful for other things than cutting holes in people! I just don't know how to carry it while riding. I think a folding saw would be more helpful.
