need a new work knife

[acwatkins]

I lost my work knife in the bay on the 4th cutting up some bait so I need a new one. It was just a little folding redhead from bass pro, 3" blade. Any recommendations? I do hvac and plumbing

Any blade size limitation based on work location? Federal building, etc...
Work in Baltimore city? no assisted opening

Get more than one knife. Sucks losing a favorite useful work knife while not at work.

I use one of these as a throwaway fishing knife.
durable, doesn't hold an edge for too many trips but a real quick scrape on a stone brings it back to reasonable sharpness before a trip and it does the job for $9

A friend of mine is in hvac and always has one of these on him. Cuts great, easy to sharpen, if lost easy to replace and will even open a beer bottle

Milwaukee Fastback II

probably the best folding disposable blade knife around, nothing beats them for cutting lots of cardboard and tape. With most any folder, the blade is several times thicker, so it doesn't slice as well, and will need to be sharpened often.

That's what I carry when not at work. Used to take it fishing but had a hard time scrubbing the fish guts out of the inside. Walking around with a fishy knife gets looks from more discerning noses...

I carry one of the husky knives and they do the job however I'm unaware of its ability to open a beer bottle.
Maybe I need to take a better look.

In that case, perhaps something like this:

I had exactly that same paraframe but lost it. It really was lightweight and easy to clean as they claim.

My nephew (now special forces) had a CRKT M16 that he absolutely abused while on deployment in Iraq. That knife took that abuse and asked for more. I don't know if that's more money than you want to spend (only $50, but a lot of knives can be had cheaper) but it'd get the job done.

Here's a pretty good Kershaw deal with a few knick-knacks for $20...

Shipping is pretty cheap from these guys.

Just the knife alone is $18 from Amazon ...
