Mental masturbation. Get a Spyderco, don’t clip it to your pocket.It’s there when you need it.
My Spyderco Endura is usually my go to carry knife if I have self defense in mind although I have carried a big Cold Steel Spartan with a copious blade in the past. For EDC utility my Bencmade 940 is my favorite followed closely by a Spyderco Delica and a few other Kershaws.
