The Goombah? An EDC?My Goombah is $250, but I'm afraid my back order list is about 6 months longer than you'd want to wait.
Oh No! if it only costs $30, you cant be one of the cool kids and the knife couldnt possibly be worth a damn.Ontario Rat 1 or Rat 2. Or an ESEE Zancudo or Avispa. The ESEE is made by Bark River Knives. All four are made in Taiwan.
I have my Leatherman's, my Swiss Army Knives, two Spyderco's and two Benchmade folders, but I'd rather carry the Ontario's or ESEE's because they hold and edge, do the job and only cost around $30 each. You can spend more and people will say you get what you pay for. But, for the money I don't think you go wrong by trying one of Ontario or ESEE folder.
The Kershaw's are great. Carried a leek for a couple years. The speedsafe flipper system is great. Never was too crazy about the blade shape, but there are other options now (shallot, blur, and skyline). I usually pay a little more for the U.S. made versions.One of my favorites...Kershaw Leek
Amazon.com : Kershaw Leek Knife with Sandvik 1660CB Stainless-Steel/CPM-D2 Composite two-tone Stainless-Steel Blade : Hunting Knives : Sports & Outdoors
Uses a composite blade. Very sharp. Assisted opening.
But the blade in my pocket right now is:
Lightning Double Action OTF, Taiwanese Version
The double action is very convenient. I certainly wouldn't call it a "quality" knife, but for light duty work it does 95% of what I need it to do.
Did I mention how convenient it is?
Oh No! if it only costs $30, you cant be one of the cool kids and the knife couldnt possibly be worth a damn.
Kershaw Brawler is my EDC. Runs around $35 give or take.
That's pretty slick looking. After realizing I don't need to spend $100 or more, I'm definitely looking at these knives in the $30-50 range.
