:? Everyone I know carries a beltclip style knife and most carry a nice spydero of one style or another. I have some of the benchmade and I think for the quality and the price, they have to be the best on the market...any other opinions on the best brand for standard carry for the common Joe would be? Spyderco is nice but the Benchmade is a hevier , more solid knife and seems to retain its sharp blade longer.
