Knife input?  Isn't that referred to as a stab?

Anyway, you have enough knives, buy ammo instead.  A knife won't stop the masses of zombies.

Made it hot for you.

Nice knife btw...

I'd take a look at a Griptilian as well. 10 more dollars, but you get a superior blade steel, a more ergonomic scale handle, a tiny bit less weight, and what I think to be a better locking system for one handed opening/closing.

I just bought a Buck Strider 889 SBMF for $54 shipped off of eBay. I just got it today and haven't used it for anything yet. I was in the market for a plain edge folder. This seems like a good working knife to me. I think you'd be happy with one.

I'm not a particularly big fan of the sub 440 stainless steels, mostly because they are a little too brittle to hold an edge properly.

Having said that, this is my daily carry knife

The Buck SBT.  I've carried this daily since before my last deployment.  And I use it for everything.  The steel is ATS-34 and I only have to spend a couple of minutes a week to keep an edge that cuts everything from 550 cord and 100mph tape to my daily mail.

AG Russell also does discounts to PD, FD and service members...I bought a few knives from him during my deployment last year!

It has a liner lock, which I am not generally crazy about, however it is otherwise a stout little knife. I did find it kind of thick for pocket carry, it's a pia to reach past it into a pocket for keys.
