I have a Kershaw, though not one made in the US.  This is the one...

I likes it a lot.

If you are looking for a Kershaw EDC, check out a blemished knife. They are way cheaper, carry "XXXX" on the blade, but the finish is very high (especially for EDC).

Gee, thanks a lot, now I have a new place to spend money....

I really, really, like my Leek.  It's made in the USA and holds an edge well.  It's kind of a smaller blade and not super heavy duty, but works well for most of what I use it for.  I also have a Cryo that's not American made.  It doesn't hold an edge quite as well as the Leek, but it's a much bigger knife overall.

Nice! I have a Kershaw pocket knife in the drawer from 20 years ago with a broken blade. I was thinking I need to get it fixed. It is actually the second of that knife with a broken blade as it broke soon after buying the first one and they replaced it. Then, shortly after that I hit it on some concrete and broke it again.

I have to say I really appreciate this recommendation.  I had always overlooked their stuff for some reason and since this posting I took a good look at them and got a couple.  They really do use decent quality steel for their price point, and the designs are really attractive and functional.  I got my son a red "scallion" and myself an orange "leek" for every-day stuff and working around the house and garden.  Current every-day is a Benchmade, and too many times I’ve had to go out at night and search around in the lawn or garden for where I left it, which is not good at ~five times the cost of the Kershaw.  The Benchmade’s D2 steel is a beast to sharpen as well, and it seems to tarnish easy.
