its time I buy a new edc blade and I'm hoping for some suggestions. I currently carry a kershaw/Emerson wave knife, but it's not quite cutting it anymore. No matter how much I use it, tweak the joint etc. it just doesn't open that smoothly for me. Also, not very sharp. If there's something you guys do to improve these problems, I'd like to know.
As it stands, i think I'll buy another despite any tips. Under the following criteria, what might you suggest?:
-under $75 (unless there's something else out there which provides significantly better function for more $$$)
-general AP blade (cutting open packages/boxes, gardening stuff, defense)
-fast opening (I like the wave feature, I like assisted blades a la kershaw)
also, if there's anything I missed or yall would like to add, have at it!
ps: what do you prefer, plain edge/serrated/half n half?
