I carry a Kershaw Leek. One handed opening (darn near a switch blade but legal by Texas definitions) and holds an edge pretty darn well. Also, very slim and fairly light weight. I think I gave ~$45 for mine including shipping. From http://www.newgraham.com/ .... good customer service too from both the E-tailer and Kershaw. When the finish started rubbing off of my pocket clip I sent Kershaw an E-mail inquiring how to go about purchasing a new clip. They sent me three pocket clips and three sets of new mounting screws along with a nifty screwdriver to boot.

If I don't use it at LEAST once a day I'd say someone asks me for it at LEAST that often. I see a pocket knife as one of those things people should just "have." Kind of like a lighter, whether or not you smoke.

They are immensely useful and in a pinch are far better than spittin' in the eye of a would be assailant (the blade, not so much the lighter).

ETA: That does not mean that a knife fight would be a walk in the park. Remember gang, there is no winner in a knife fight, just varying degrees of losing.
