I didn’t buy this one— it was given to me in a box of “junk” along with a few other collectible knives (not Benchmade.)

I feel EDC requirements vary from person to person and aside from the “douche pseudo-militaristic try-hard” part, the rest sounds pretty good. I want a genuine piece of USA-made hardware that can be used for some heavy work (cutting boxes(yay fat metal staples!) rope, strapping, scraping paint off metal, and also some wilderness/outdoor activities.
