Benchmade Griptilian
SOG Flash II (bulky, but I like the grip!)
Gerber ASEK II is beefy fixed blade.

I`m not a fan of the CHris Reeve knives with the cylinder handles VERY uncomfortable, and twists in your hand, sold mine, don't spend the $.

What do you want the new knife to do... or you just want one to have one ?

I carry a SOG Flash II daily. My SAK is the one I use. I carry the SOG for the same reason as I carry my 45 and I just can't get the bulky part, I clip it in the corner of my pocket and never know it's there and it's very light IMO. Don't sound like we are talking about the same knife.

All kidding aside, I'm thinking of picking up a Becker BK 7. Most of the knives I have are of the Swiss/Mora/multi tool variety and I want something with a little more heft.

I have been carrying a sog flash II daily since they came out, trust me I don't think it's too bulky either

But when you compare it to a griptillian it is kind of a fatty

I carry mine because I like the grip, and because the assisted opening! So many times I've relied on one handed 'spaaaaring' opening that this knive provides.. it's why I don't carry the griptillian daily too really. Sure you can open it with one hand but it's not as easy, especially if you can't 'sling it'.

Both are good knives, I've just become accustomed to the Flash II over the years

and about time to grab another one I've severely abused this one!

sounds good mountain man
i have used an open assist knife before and i really liked it

I just can't (for my use) find anything about the Flash II I don't like. CCW here is for pistol or revolver only, so I haven't really used it, just a backup to my 45 and in places I can't carry. I was just curious. Thanks.
