The Buck Pilot, otherwise known as the Mantis, has been my EDC for several years.
The Pilot is bullet proof, decently holds an edge and is easily cleaned up to razor-sharp. The sturdy design is thin enough not to be noticed in any pocket. The blade features dual thumb assists, locks very securely and flips out fluidly with one hand and some practice. The handle is very ergonomic to my tastes.
Finishes include matte black and bead-blasted steel (mine). A fair deal is about $26. Buck takes great care of customers so expect a decade of great use.
