Smith&Wesson SWBLOP2G Black Ops 2nd Generation Assisted Opener
That's my day to day knife. Lovely little thing. I got it with a green handle. It doesn't look that nice anymore since a lot of paint is missing from the blade (I use it from opening packages, as a tool for the BBQ and lots of other stuff. It's a pretty cheap knife with cheap steel (regular stainless, easy to sharp though). It is an assisted opener which means there is a spring inside. if you push the blade open (like with a regular folding knife), the spring makes the blade go out really fast and it's automatically in the locked position. If you would remove the spring it's just a regular folding knife.
I got a lot of knifes but for normal use this one is my favorite. Before I bought this knife I walked around with a ColdSteel Ti-Lite (has hooks that automatically open it if you remove it from your pocket) or with a handmade fixed blade knife. The S&W is smaller, easier to hide in you're pocket.
