Hello, new member!

Hello. I'm looking at buying a new knife for urban SD purposes.
I am considering the:

Blackhawk! Be-Wharned
Kershaw Groove and Tanto Groove
Kershaw Junkyard Dog II Composite
Boker AK101

The Boker may be a bit too large, however.

Any opinions?

I'd also like to give a link to my favorite song, since this is the off topic forum, and I can't help but spread it around:

So, glad to be here and hello!

I'm not sure where you live but I know in California assisted-opening knives are legal, even with so many other restrictions. I never leave home without my S&W OTF Tanto blade. I prefer the action on an assisted-opener even though thumbtack foldouts can be opened nearly as fast in a SD situation. As to brand selection I have several S&W assisted openers and they are great products at very reasonable prices, whether AO or Manual. Best of luck with our selection!
