Who is the best pocket knife brand maker but isnt horribly expensive?

Im a boyscout and Im looking at assist open knives the only person Ive looked at is sports authority(the woodsmen spring assisted tan pocket knife) and crkt(delegate) i like the delegates look but i cant find one that inexpensive so i was wondering some of you guys could help me out. I would love websites and links and pictures and all that.

is this a good pocket knife?

so im 16, and my dads always taught us to keep a pocket knife with us. just cause, we grew up in louisiana, in the woods. and yeah.

but anyways, i just have a 10 dollar one from walmart. dont get me wrong. its the best 10 dollars ive ever spent on a knife. it should of been a 50 dollar knife for how good it is.

but i just want a change. and i was thinking of this one.

http://www.amazon.com/SOG-Specialty-Knives-AE-04-Serrated/dp/B00137ETQU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=industrial&qid=1301173750&sr=8-1

has anyone ever used it? is it good? or just okay? the reviews say its great. but yeah lol.

and i would be buying it with my own money. so the price isnt a problem.

also if youd like to suggest a better knife, or the knife you use. thatd be awesome.

no fixed blades though, because they’re illegal where i live now .

and i dont really want a big bulky knife. or a small one, just a medium size.

thankss!
well it would mainly be for cutting misc things whenever i need too, like boxes and just random things.

and self defense if i ever needed to use it for that.

Best Pocket Knife for collection?

I’m looking in to getting my boyfriend a knife for his collection as a birthday present.. the only problem is, I don’t know anything about knives.. I would also like to get his initials engraved somewhere on the knife. does anyone know what kind of knife would be a good one (price not being an issue) and also where I might be able to get his initials engraved in to it? I would really appreciate the help!
if the engraving decreases it’s value, then I wont get it done.. I just thought it would be nice thank you!

Parents, what do you think of this answer?

I was looking at some old questions on here and came across one about teaching kids how to handle guns and knives safely. This was the best answer. It sounds hardcore redneck and kind of scary to me but it got a ton of thumbs up and no thumbs down so….do you agree or disagree with the woman?

"I think honestly, the younger you start them, the better. Does that mean I think you should just hand a rifle to a toddler and say "There ya go, buddy, have at em"? No, you do it in baby steps, like you do everything else. When I was a toddler I had a little nerf gun – you could knock cans off the fence with it and you got a basic feel for mechanisms – barrel, trigger, etc. – but it wouldn’t hurt anyone, even if you shot them point blank with it. After I had had it for a little bit, my dad brought out an air rifle and would stand beside me and shoot the cans with me. To show me that even an air gun can be dangerous, he showed me the difference between the cans I shot with the nerf (knocked down, but unharmed) and the cans he shot with the air gun (had a hole in them). For a while, he would give me an unloaded BB gun and let me practice holding it steady, show me where the safety is and how to load it and everything. When I was 4, and had gotten completely in the habit of "never pointing at anything I wasn’t going to shoot" he let me start shooting BB’s. When I was 7, I got a .22. But he never had a set timeline on it – he went by when he thought I was ready to move up to the next step. I’ve been shooting for years and have never injured myself or anyone else.
As far as knives go, I would probably go by how safely they carried those little kid scissors. If they’re always aware it can be a weapon, and they always carried and used it safely, then I would give them a pocket knife and let them use it around me. And yes, I would teach them about safety either way."

What does this nightmare mean? Could it be a sign? Of rapers? "O.O"?

Ok so I have been planning a party for a while now and it is happening sometime in August. Last night though, I had a dream about the party.
My 2 friends, Sam and Angela, came over and were unpacking in my bedroom, when this man walked in and said to us, "Would you girls like to come into the master bathroom which is where you will be having a bubble bath?". Sam and Angela were STUPID enough to agree and they walked over there. The man also claimed he was our butler. I knew he wasn’t our butler and that my mom would tell me about us having a butler before he came for the first time. He walked the girls over to my parents bedroom and made them take off they’re clothes. Or at least I think he made them do it. I really didn’t see how their clothes came off in the nightmare. Then I got out my phone and tried to reach my mom because neither of my parents were home. I called about 5 times and was walking back and forth in the upstairs hallway. I couldn’t reach her! I put the phone in my pocket and went over to my parents master bedroom and saw 4 people on the bed. 1 was a boy I didn’t know, 1 was a girl I didn’t know, and 2 were the girls, Sam and Angela. They were all sleeping and looked they were on drugs. I saw at least 2-3 men walking in and out of the bathroom and looking at the kids with nasty grins. I started getting all teary eyed and walked outside to sit on the porch. I knew I should’ve went down to the kitchen, tooken a couple of knives, and killed the men, but I had to find out what they were doing and if they were really doctors, serial killers, or maybe even… I don’t even want to say it but, rapers! I was also too afraid and decided to stay out of their way. I started calling my dad but he wouldn’t pick up. I walked back in the house and looked through the door again. The men saw me but they didn’t care about me. They only cared about Sam and Angela. I watched for a little while, it seemed that they forgot about me being there. It turned out I was right. They were rapers! I saw them going hardcore on the boy and Sam. Although, maybe I did know the boy. He looked like Jack from my Science, Social Studies, and Math class! He was really smart, and funny, and I sorta kinda always had a huge crush on him! I didn’t get to see the girl’s face but I have strange feeling right now that it was one of my very best friends, Breeana! I started sobbing quietly because I didn’t want the men to know about me watching them without thhem knowing. I walked back outside and saw 2 men and 1 woman. They were trying to get to me. I ran jumped from a side part off my porch. It was about 1-2 feet high. The nieghbors had a couple of big climable trees in their side yard and I just stood behind them and climbed a couple feet. I noticed that one of the men that wanted to get me and rape me was my dad! He had his usual "thinking" look on as always.. I looked up at my house and noticed a window that’s not there in real life and I saw a man going hardcore on Breeana and Angela. I started sobbing and fell to the ground. I was sitting there but the man and woman that were with my dad just stood there looking at me. Except for my dad who was still looking up at the sky with his "thinking" look. Argg! How I hate that look! I would tell you the rest but I can’t. Stupid alarm clock. Is it a sign? Could it mean I shouldn’t have my party? Or I should stay away from men including my dad? Help me please! I need to know!

Victorinox Fireman vs. Hiker Swiss Army Knives

In this review, I examine and compare the Victorinox Fireman and Hiker Swiss Army knives, also called SAKs. They are similar in tools but not in size and both are great for their intended purposes.

What Do You Think Of My First Chapter In My Story?

hope you like it The Chronicles of an Undercover Hero

Chapter One – Doomed.

Dark, dusty, musky, and rotten. Being tied up in this basement isn’t one way I would like to spend my Christmas holidays. Everything is always so damn busy when you’re trying to actually save this state from mere destruction. Living these two separate lives aren’t very, how can I put it, “simple” in many ways. The rope tied tightly around my arms burned with agonizing pain. Oh god, here they come. Time for my 2:00 beating. Yay. Oh crap, knives. Knives are not really a good thing for a 16 year old secret hero . Yah I know it sounds plain stupid. 16 year old saves Washington from plane terrorism and blah, blah, blah! Sometimes I just wish I could be a normal kid without having my own agency of hero’s. Well I’m the only hero so it’s not really an agency isn’t it. I really sound like an Agent Cody Banks wannabe. But trust me, this is a whole lot different. Well journal, I think it is best I go for now before i get it taken away . Crack heads they are, let me tell you.

“ So, finally time to kill me huh guys? Well good luck. The SWAT team are on their way and guess what? You guys are going to jail, you guys are going to jail!” I said in a singsong voice. Of course I didn’t call the SWAT team, I’m broke as hell and I can’t afford a pay phone.

These enemies aren’t like an old cartoon enemy. Both are very muscular with a snake like look on their face. Flaming orange eyes glared at mine. I was actually scared for once.

“ You did what? Nice goin’ smart aleck for putting a pay phone in here when we have company.” The enemy said to his partner.

“ Well, it’s not my fault you wanted an some extra phone usage in this building huh Bill?”

“Just kill him already okay Sam?” Bill replied.

“Whatever, Give me the knife.” Sam told Bill in a shaky voice.

Crap, this is not good at all. They’re going to kill me! Oh, and I’m Xander. Pronounced like Zander. People call my Ex – ander because I am a ladies man at school meaning of all of the girls I have gone out with. They don’t get the point the it’s pronounced Zan-der. I guess I am kind of self centered. Anyway, I felt something crinkle in my pocket. Of course! My partner James gave me a note before I left just in case i got in trouble. I yanked it out of my pocket and oh no, i dropped it! Bill picked it up. He read it aloud.

“ Use your mad ninja skills! Kick their butts!”

Your Favourite Pal , James.

This is great. Just great. I knew i shouldn’t have picked James as my partner. I should have just left him as my best friend. He is so stupid! Oh god, here come the guys!

“ Just, stab. Not that hard.” Bill said.

“ I…I…I can’t do it Bill, I’m sorry. Look at him. He’s only 16. Give him a chance.”

“ What the hell Sam! Just let him go i guess. If i ever see you again kid, i will kill you. Get it. Kill. Kill. Kill!” Bill said angrily.

“ Uh, yes your majest – I mean , yes sir.”

They untied my arms first. I yanked them out of the rope. Surprisingly, they didn’t have any rope burns. But they hurt like anything though.

“See yah suckas!” I yelled while I ran to the door.

“ Kid! Come back here now so I can give you a talkin’ too before you run off –.” Bill yelled with force.

“ Leave him be Bill. Just leave him.” Sam said calmly.

“ Alright. Don’t come back , okay kid?”

I was surprised that Sam was actually nice under all of his muscles. He even had a heart to let me go. The wind was rushing through my long shaggy hair. I was sprinting so fast that I almost tripped over air (if that is even possible). He threatened to kill me if I ever showed my face again so I was pretty nervous! Then I remembered. My journal….

my main character IS SUPPOSED to be self centered just so yah know
i also posted it on Wattpad.com so check it out and leave comments there as well
