Finally, sanity has entered the chat!I recommend buying a whole bunch of knives and see which ones you like most, then keep them all.

Automatic knives have been legal in Indiana since I think 2012.I also notice it's easy to find knives that open automatically via a button which I thought was not allowed in IN.
My favorite do it all is a Spiderco Endura wave.

Easy, one hand open and it's faster than an automatic (I'm sure somebody will argue it). Holds a good edge.
Serrated edges are good for bread and people that can't shapen knives. Learn how to sharpen a knife and you'll be happy.
Well, i have been following the “If you could only have one knife what would it be?” Thread for ideas.I would urge caution in your search for your "favorite" knife. They are like Lays potato chips. You can't stop at just one. :0)
I’m not a fan of the Wave feature. But, for those who get the hang of it, it works very well.
The reason a lot of this is hard to answer is because there are TONS of good recommendations all across drastically different price points.Since I was at the NWI meet & eat I went to the gun & knife show in Crown Point this weekend.
The array and variety of knives is staggering! What should I look for in a knife and what types are used for which purposes?
I realize you wouldn't use a filleting knife to skin a rabbit or deer, and certain types are for self defense, etc.

Happy to receive a list of good reading sites for the basics.
I think I got it, get something that I like and it’s in my price range.
So far I think I want a folding knife in the under $125 range.
The GF carries this in her purse, don’t recognize the brand/logo

Is that a knife in your pocket or are you just glad to see me???…oh holy ! It’s a knife!!!It works well at destroying pants pockets too!
Probably it's only drawback.
Well that and the looks you get when you pull out a large knife with a wave feature.
Check out some of the Kershaw and Spyderco knives. You'll be able find something pretty nice in that rangeI think I got it, get something that I like and it’s in my price range.
