Need Advice on my first real knife

[cubby]

Did you take any part in the destruction of some of the red scorpion six knives? I am way more into folders, but the Chris reeves scream at me when I walk by, so do some of the bark river and Fallkniven blades,

Hard to beat his selection of Swiss army knives and the amount of busse blades that temporarily reside at his shop.

yes. yes i did! snap crackle POP!

but i couldn't break the scales bare handed...... damn my girlie hands!

Just please don't go to Wal-Mart.

if they were still selling the spyderco natives in s30v for $40 that would be the first place to go.

Not every, but a lot. and only really in the knife section?

true enough. I'm sure he's a great guy and very knowledgeable and I would probably do business with him frequently if he was not in ft. wayne. it just gets redundant to hear about how awesome he is all the time.

Glocks are awesome too.

I don't know squat about knives. I've never owned a quality knife, but I'd like to purchase one that I can carry every day that can be used for self defense and also camping, etc.

I'd like to spend less than $100 if possible and buy it in a brick and mortar store so I can look at it ahead of time. Down here in Evansville that would probably mean purchasing it from Dick's or Gander Mountain. Maybe Walmart.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.
