I like the Al Mar SERE 2000. It was designed by, I believe, the founder of the Army SERE school, for use as a survival knife. The SERE 2000 has a very solid lock, comfortable handle, and rides well in my pocket. This is my current EDC knife, and I have carried it longer than any other knife.
I have tried every lockblade on earth including practically the entire Benchmade line. I say from my experience that the Sebenza is without a doubt #1. It's one tuff knife. I use mine a daily and it has a rock solid lockup and no wiggle at all. Not to mention the S30v both takes and holds an edge amazingly and I have yet to stain or rust it. It's the one and only folder I own now and I have kept it longer (it's actually my second sebbie) than any other folder to date if that tells you anything. Heck, before the sebenxa the only thing I truely trusted for EDC was a fixed blade.

Great blade, solid lock and light wieght. I have this knife in EDC rotation, and always, ALWAYS, take it to the field with me.

I second that. Sebenza is a nice knife - I have two of them. One of them is a large wood inlay, and it's almost too nice to use. But the one I'll end up using is my Umfaan, a miniaturized version of Sebenza, because it's always with me. I have three Umfaans. Chris Reeve knives are addicting.
