Default Folding knife

Looking at getting a good folding knife. Had Gerber's, Puma, and Buck. Wondering what everyone likes. Kind of looking at Benchmade knives now but just would like more info from peoples personal experiences. I would like about a 3-3-5 inch blade and willing to spend up to $150.00. Thanks

I REALLY like my Puma's.......

I carry small three inch every day and the larger Duke in stag handles when hunting.
My father in law has the same and we swap when he comes in from Oklahoma because he can't sharpen his. Kinda a cool thing he and I do......

Gerbers are great. I have a pair of cleaning shears that are awesome and I have a set of cleaning knives by Winchester that are sweet too. I don't know about folding knives

yeah, unfortunately most of them are LE only and not sold to the general public, which is stooopid, a knife is a knife, it doesn't matter how fast you can sling it out, some of them have a teflon coating, it helps to keep the blood from sticking to the blade!

Spring assist is available to anyone. They are not considered to be switch blades.
you still have to start the blade w/ your finger not w/ a button.
