If I were to theoretically want a knife for a last ditch self-defense option/EDC tool, it would have to have the following:
1) Some sort of traction plan to keep my hand from sliding forward or dropping it.
2) A belly for utility uses.
3) It can't be too expensive where I would be afraid to really use it or lose it, but it can't be a total cheapo that will fall apart either.
4) No springs or complicated mechanisms to fail or get gunked up.
5) Flow through pillar design for easy cleaning.
That's why I EDC a Spyderco Tenacious. It seems to be the best all around utility/defensive option that covers all the bases. No frills but gets the job done.
