I carry cheap knives.
I'm a mechanic, and my knives tend to be abused and damaged.


1) A Pakistan POS folder that has one straight-razor type blade + a clip point blade. The straight-razor edge makes good for scraping gasket surfaces, and the clip point is good for poking stuff. Plastic "bone" handle inlays broke off early, so I replaced them with real wood.

2) Chinese automatic similar to that last Benchmade that masraum posted. CF handle, 440 blade. Not bad for a few $.

3) Folding utility knife. Not as multi-talented as the Pakistan folder, but has the advantage of using replaceable razor blades.

4) Small clip point "old timer." This is probably the nicest of my knives. I guess that's sad, in a way.

I also keep a knockoff leatherman in my truck glovebox.
