Oh, don't get a CRKT. IMHO they have a major flaw in their open design. When I worked at an outdoor stoor, we had a guy come in and tell us that we had better not sell them. As it turns out, he was on a rafting trip with one clipped to his life jacket. At one point wile paddling his wrist brushed against it and opened the blade (not all the way, I don't think) and when he pulled his arm back across his body, the blade speared him through the wrist in a really horrible way (the scar wa gruesome). I am not comfortable with a pocketknife that doesn't enclose the blade.
