I have become partial to the CRKT line of knives.

I did slip off the wagon and order a new carry knife this week, I'll share it when it shows up.

I think CRKT has the best balance of innovative designs, quality, and price. I've got several of them and am very pleased with all. After about 7 years of daily carry I plain wore out an M16-13Z to the point where the blade started to wobble and couldn't be tightened any more. I sent it back under warranty and CRKT just sent me a brand new one.

It doesn't get any better than that.

What do you use?

Tuf-Glide.

Eezox or another similar lubricant would work just as well.

I consider the auto knives a terrific solution to a nonexistent problem.

They're expensive and can cause legal issues in many places outside of our great state.

I find my half serrated spear point bladed CRKT M16Z with the blade flipper and thumb stud to be just as fast without the expense and legal complications as long as I keep it clean and properly lubed with a good dry lubricant, which of course I do.
