Benchmade makes awesome blades, but I think Spyderco offers a better value on two EDC options in particular: the Dragonfly 2 ($70) and the Chaparral ($95). The Dragonfly 2 is a great fidget-factor knife, and it’s what I reach for more than anything else.Was looking a while back at Benchmade and Spyderco - still have not decided, let us know how you like it.
