I don't have any expensive knives. I'm too hard on them and I tend to lose them. I found a Benchmade Osborne similar to the one in TAMs post. I carried it for years and loved it...then I lost it...and I can't bring myself to spend the money to replace it. I know the general area where it lays but it is in the woods in central Texas. If I get back that way I may have to take a metal detector and see if I can find it amongst all the other metal tidbits from an old turkey farm.

I now carry a Case locking knife and a cheap Boker AK7 auto knife. My son gave me the Case so I'm fairly careful with it. The Boker is my utility knife, used for opening boxes, slicing apples, or digging weeds out of the garden. It doesn't hold an edge too well even if I treated it better but it is handy and will take care of the grunt work. I also like the auto feature as it is similar, albeit spring loaded, to the Benchmade. I often have one hand occupied so being able to open the knife one-handed is very...er...handy.

I have a few other general purpose knives for hunting or hiking but nothing fancy or notable.

I appreciate living vicariously through y'all's knives.
