If you sharpen a locking folder just right, it will go right through the fender or hood on a Kia.
So I've heard.

I carry a fixed blade Benchmade ... very useful if I ever needed it I'm sure as well as my Glock 17...

Not a pocket knife but from belt sheath to bike sheath.

For the money Benchmade knives cost I have several SOGS and have carried one daily for the last 25 years. You need a pocket knife and a knife with a pocket clip and an assisted open feature they can not be beat.

Nice. I have a soft spot for Buck knives. I have my father's sitting on a shelf next to me. He's 80. Buck Folding Hunter. He cleaned more deer with that thing than I've seen in my lifetime I think.

Yes I agree. I carry a Milano Stiletto assisted-open knife with a pocket clip. Very, very convenient. You don't have to tear your fingernails off opening it. I use it every day for something. I keep it razor sharp with a leather strop. I have a Leatherman in my Harley's tool kit for other things, but the 4-5" Assisted knives can't be beat.

I use a couple Gerber knives for daily use. Little black one stays on my desk, opens packaging, cuts wires... could probably shave with it. The grey one stays in my pocket.

I collect Spyderco knives and I always have a folder in my pocket and a fixed blade in one of my saddlebags.

Life's too short to carry a POS pocket knife.

It's hard to beat Spyderco or Benchmade quality.
