Sweet! I dig the bolsters and clip! That's a nice piece of pocket candy right there!

Hello. My CRKT M16 knife has gone missing (probably in a couch or drawer somewhere), so I need a new EDC knife. My requirements are as follows:
1. It needs to be a folder. Fixed is not an option.
2. Blade length is not critical, but <= 2.5" is actually helpful for reasons. Feel free to recommend stuff over this length, though.
3. It needs to be conducive to concealed pocket carry. A clip would be very good, but I'm not picky about tip up or tip down.
4. I would like something that can deploy rapidly under stress if I do my part. Does not need to be assisted open.
5. The locking system needs to be solid and pass the "smack the back on the table" test.
6. It cannot be overly expensive (> ~$50) in case I have to ditch it.

Any recommendations would be tremendously appreciated. I am aware of how awesome centerline fixed blades are, but those are just not an option for my situation.

Going to take a shot in the dark here, but do you by chance live in either Cali, or NY? They both have $hit knife laws being the reason I ask.

I had the perfect knife to suggest, met all of your requirements, all the way up to the price point. I was going to recommend a benchmade 940, or a bugout. In the $50 dollar range, I would go with a Kershaw of some kind, or just get another crkt

Here's the Benchmade 940....

S30v blade steel, ano-ed aluminum handle scales, very reliable, and versatile, locking system. All in all a great knife, with a lifetime warranty

A good friend of mine does these and these two he is bringing to me tomorrow as a possible trade on a rifle I am selling... I own two already but am thinking gifts for my family members...

The one Ryan did for my father and was given to him on our last fathers day together...

Another Made in Montana Bronk I inherited from my father

A Caffery from when he was a Junior Smith... Now a Master smith and famous one at that... Made in Montana...

Absolutely amazing work!

I have a gorgeous fixie, Damascus, with camel bone scales, and some amazing file work on the spine I'll post pics of tomorrow.

Absolutely amazing work!

I've watched Ryan progress over the last 15 years... I own one of the 1st he ever sold ... He does some amazing damascus patterns. I really want a twisted damascus he does but am going to consider these two. They are pretty amazing! He is a good guy who does not overcharge. He is a working man and builds them to be working knives and sells them at a working mans wages price. One of the finest people I have ever met.
