I've carried every form of knife over the years. After concluding most imagined knife needs never occur I've settled on a little Swiss Army "Classic" in my pocket and the sharp, serrated knife in my mess kit. BUT, if you ever REALLY NEED a knife pronto, an "assisted opening" like this Buck would be handy:
"Buck 290 Rush features a 2.50 in. speed assisted 420HC stainless steel drop point blade and a 3.75 in. blue or platinum anodized 6061 T6 aluminum body. ..."

These have locking closed and open mechanisms, but can be opened fast and closed with one hand. Having said that, these have been criticized and compared to switch-blades and are not legal in every state. Does anyone own one, think they'd be handy or are they just appealing to the Rambo in me ?
