Hi everyone. I'm searching for a first EDC knife but can't find anything that fits my criteria:
-- around 3" closed
-- locking blade (liner, lockback, I don't mind)
-- at least a can & bottle opener (though a corkscrew would also helpful)
-- and a traditional aesthetic.
The Victorinox Delemont S series, Civivi Crit, and Swiza D01 have the features I want but not the desired styling.
Buck 55/501/503s, various Case models, or even a GEC 83 would be perfect if they had extra tools. There are plenty of vintage slip-joints that would be suitable but don't have a locking blade.
The closest I've found is a lionSTEEL Barlow with bottle opener, but I'd still rather something with more functions.
So what other options are out there?
