    I have had a liner lock that wouldn't close after digging in the dirt for a root. I know that may sound weird but that is my EDC use. I am leaning towards buying a frame lock for a EDC. With a thumb stud.

    Say it wasn't in your plan for the day and while walking through the woods you spot some Ginseng.....

    That is a nice size plant you say to yourself and it will fix all of my ills.

    I have no shovel and of course I could carve one out of a branch but why not just use my knife?????

    even though my EDC has a stud post, the Spyderco hole is really nice.
