Let's see your knife.

I carried a Buck 110 for many years. Lost it running for my life down a wooded hillside. That was before metal detectors- lol.
I daily carry a few different switch blades in the 3.5 - 4" range with pocket clips. Like the Kershaw 7800BLK
Never had one accidently deploy.
P.S> bought a new Buck 110 last year

Supposedly this is the knife that Crocodile Dundee carried.

Loved that scene in NYC when the hoodlums pulled a knife on ole Nick Dundee

I needed a keychain pocketknife and bought this but it is a spring loaded switchblade and the thought of it inadvertently opening in my pocket changed my mind for me.

If you want a spring assisted knife, but are afraid it might open in your pocket, Benchmade has a really good solution. Any of their knives with the "Axis-Assist" mechanism, has a lock that will hold the knife in the closed or open position.

My everyday pocket knife is a Benchmade Mini-Barrage. You used to be able to have these custom configured from ordering on their website. I had 2 made that have orange scales (the last thing I want is a knife that blends in with wherever I put it down ) and S30V blade material. The perfect pocket knife IMO.

I'm sure that Benchmade is a great knife but $196 would buy me a lot of decent knives. Never understood the price on these name brand knives.

I know, cheaper alternatives are out there. I take a lot of pride in my pocket knife and see it as a cross between a tool, jewelry and maybe eventually, I hope, an heirloom. That's why I have two identical knives, one for each of my girls someday.

I also have a soft spot for the Benchmade Osborne designs, as I knew Warren Osborne before he passed. I always kick myself for not asking him to make some personal tweak to one of his namesake knives, so they'd have that little extra meaning.
