I used a Gerber AR 3.00 BBS for a few years before I lost it.

3" blade, partially serated, teflon coated. Very nice knife, IMO.

I'm looking to get another knife here shortly. Features I'd like:
Blade length: 3.5" to 5" a must.
Cheap: Around $60 or less, preferably.
Folding and locking. Linerlock is fine.
Clip for holding on a pocket.
Good quality, not going to fall apart or kill me.
Not hideously ugly.

I still don't know wether I want partially serrated or a fine edge, so either one works for now.

Wal-Mart actually has a nice Gerber that I like...3.5" blade, partially serated and titanium coated (like that matters) for $30.  I keep losing the bastards, though...

You "lost" it?  Or buried it with the rest of the "evidence"?  

Haha. I lost it. It dropped out of my pocket during one of my classes and I didn't notice until later that day. Went back and it was gone!   No one turned it in, either.

Call me old-fashioned, but I don't trust red robots with knives!

I've got the Smith and Wesson S.W.A.T. knife, my second (lost all the screws out of the first, somehow, I don't really know how). I've got the tanto blade right now, you can get it partially serrated. There's three sizes, mine is the middle size, with roughly a 3" blade (my hands are too small for the giant one with like a 3.5" blade), but you may well be able to use it. I got mine for about $35, I think the biggest one is like $50ish.. You should check em out, I absolutely love mine..

sog flash II spring blade.  best knife i have ever owned.  really durable clip that does not bend out of place, light draw, really safe, quick spring blade.  very intimidating too.  i almost got mugged by some junkie downtown last year and i pulled my knife and he took off running  :lol:

very concealeable too.  

speaking of "lost" knifes. my dad just the other day was showing me his pocket knife and i was thinkin wow thats a nice one i used to have one just like that. he said, ya i found it in my truck... oh wait.... lol keep it dad. keep it. i'd just mess it up. my current knife is a schrade 3 inch part serated that i lost under the same pickup trucks bed liner for a year or 2. after some TLC it is still good as new.

Not to be the bad guy here, but didn't an argument start over the conversation of a weapon last month??

Ehh.. that was buying/selling (and sorta illegal too)... this is discussing a legit, legal product. I believe we've had pocketknife threads here before. After all, a pocketknife is just a tool, same as a wrench. I know I use mine every day, and wouldn't dream of leaving the house without it.

So was the "other one".  I highly doubt anything would come of it if it happened again.

...unless I wanted to be an ass and bombard you foos with "this is a bike forum" comments like the starter of the "other one" got. :nana:

lol.. ok... I agree with you, I LOVE GUNS, and I don't have a problem with them being sold here. But that's neither here nor there. All I'm saying is that most people seem to see knives as more acceptable, and I don't foresee a controversy here like there was over your thread.

Don't get me wrong...  I love to go target shooting (haven't been in a while though), and I just bought myself a new knife/utility blade.

I just don't want to see another trouble thread develop.

Actually my friend got a knife from home depot for christmas and it has one side a boxcutter and on the opposite side a regular knife. Looked pretty handy to me... especially the boxcutter blades... no need to worry about sharpening...

Can't find it online so maybe it's a really new item... but found something that looks like it though this looks like only the boxcutter side to it only.

^Walmart, Home Depot and Lowes all carry those (the dual-blade ones)

My dad found one exactly like that and gave it to me. Ill post a pic tomorrow.

I like it too, I hold it in my backpack when riding. It is missing the clip to holdon the pocket though.

This is the one I actualy just bought at Sears.  I lost the one I bought last year, but like it too much.  Had to get another one.

The knife I had before was a great knife. Durable as hell. I crashed the '92 with it in my pocket and it came out with some scrratches on the clip (which was outside of my pocket) and a tiny bit taken off the tip where it wore through my pants and into the road. I might just end up getting another one of those, but I'd like to check my options.
