      I carried a Benchmade mini griptilian for 5 years before I lost it. Paid like $119 around 2010. Amazing knife. Steel was a little soft though.

      Now would be a Spyderco ambitious, some Kershaw assisted opening knife, and a Benchmade bugout knockoff I got from AliExpress that I love. Great size and fit the budget for what I use it for. I have some others in my camping gear, but don’t know names of them off the top of my head.

      I can’t be dropping hundreds of dollars on knives I can easily lose.

      Couple Leatherman like the skeletool too, had it for almost the whole warranty. Now it rides in my IT crash bag.
