| Looking for an assisted folder. Its going to be an edc, so it doesn't have to be huge |
|
Not assisted but I love my Benchmade Griptilian tanto.
Specs .Sand with black tanto blade |
|
Unless you're just dead set on an assisted knife, get a Griptilian. I used to love assisted knives until I bought my first Axis knife. Just as fast as an assisted opener and much easier to close with one hand. Now I've got over a dozen Axis knives and one assisted knife I never carry.

I just picked up a Spyderco Paramilitary 2. Paid a little more than $100 cause I wanted it NOW, but I see people saying they get them for $110 from online retailers.
Thin, light, cool blade style. Griptillian is cool too, so is the Blur, lots of cool options. And for a little less, the Kershaw Shallot is a great EDC for me. Thin and simple but big enough. |
I have a Kershaw Blur that I bought to replace a Benchmade Emissary that I lost. 
I wanted a less expensive knife and the blur fit that requirement. I have really come to like it a lot. It fits my hand, holds an edge and opens with "authority". I have since purchased a Benchmade Pardue just because I wanted an auto. I like the blur better. And you could get two for a little over $100. Edited to add a couple crappy pics.

This I have or have owned most of the kershaw assisted knives, Benchmade assisted knives, Protech side opening autos, and Benchmade side opening autos. They are no faster than a thumbhole like spyderco or a BM 550, or an axis lock with broken in pivot. The only thing that is really faster than everything else is an emerson wave. If you're all about an assisted opener, get a Kershaw Blackout or blur so that you don't waste too much money before you realize that there is no point to them
