My current EDC is a [url=https://kershaw.kaiusa.com/monitor.html]Kershaw Monitor[/url]. It's fairly cheap ($70-80), light enough to carry in loose shorts pockets without worrying about a belt, it has a deep carry clip so it doesn't stick out over the edge of the pocket, and the finish is pretty nice (no scratches or damage in the 9 months that I've had it). My knives tend to get scratched and dinged up pretty quickly, so it's a nice change of pace to have one that still looks new. The biggest selling point for me, though, is the locking mechanism. Instead of the typical detent that you access from the front inside of the grip (a liner lock, as shown on [url=https://www.bladehq.com/blog/knife-lock-types-guide]this page[/url] of locking mechanisms), it has an ambidextrous locking mechanism on the sides of the handle (an axis lock, as seen on the page listed above). You just hold down the lock to move the crossbar out of place, allowing the blade to swing freely around the bearing. This means you can flick the knife open or closed in one motion without ever putting your fingers in the path of the blade.
