I carry a SOG Flash model.
Spyderco LE stainless with a combo edge like this one:

But then at about $90 each after I lost the third one I deceided to do the same as I do with pens and sunglasses and buy a bunch of cheap ones and switched to these:

You get a dozen for about $20 and while I would hate to trust my life to one at least I know there's always one in my pocket.

Taylor makes the S&W blades. They say their "distribution facility" is in TN, but they don't mention that they get the knives from somewhere in PRC.

Me too. Good knives. Got two for 35.00 ea. from a member of my local forum recently.
To the OP,
Check into the leatherman series knives. C301 and C303 are both good knives for not a whole lot of money.

Opens with a flick of your thumb and has two locks, a liner lock with a release, and a second lock that basically fixes the blade. Easily closed one handed too.

I'm partial to Columbia River these days. I used to carry a Spyder Co, but replaced it with a CRKT Mount Rainier I picked up for $35 at Gandar Mountain. I like it since it is a line-lock knife, but has a safety latch that blocks the lock and prevents it from clipping past the lock and closing (I've had that happen before).

I have a few CRKT knives and am also very fond of them. None of the particular models I have are very suitable for EDC because of their size (more field/camping/hunting oriented) but they have some quality products for not much $.

Benchmade Pika . . . only $30 or less and quite a bargain for a solid knife made of 440C steel. Very thin and light.

I got one of these at Cabelas to replace a knife i lost. Great knife, sharp, easy to conceal, and a bargain. $40 here in Spokane.
YOu can pay a ton of money for a knife, but ultimately, this works. I woudn't want it used against me. The spring action is reliable, and easy to learn. I can draw, deploy, and old up this knife in total darkness. Its very efficient and well designed.

"Its a knife. In self defense it is meant to stab somebody, not shave their arm hair. I would say get the cheapest largest folding knife you can find, unless it is so horrible the blade is literally going to fall off on impact."
