My partner asked me for a recommendation for a EDC because I own and care for my kitchen knives. But I know nothing about pocket knives, so I’m hoping you all can recommend something lest they walk out with a 8 inch chef’s knive peeking from their pocket.

I had a look here, but I just got lost in all those choices.

It doesn’t need to be super durable as I should be able to sharpen it for them, but it should be easy to handle. The purported usage is self defense, but I think it will mostly be used to do chore related tasks.

Any solid choices there?

EDIT: after the replies pushing back on using this type of tool for self defense, I’ve had a talk with my partner and went through the arguments here. They didn’t take much convincing that it was a bad idea. Thank you all for pointing it out!

    I was aiming for something in the 60 to 100 euro range.

    You’re recommendation looks neat, it is around 90 euros at the website I linked.

      Good to hear. I like it so much I own 3 different variations of the Elementum. The shape and design of the blade makes it a great all-around utility knife. From your basic box opener and strap cutter to food prep (cleaning before and after, of course). The neutral design makes it a lot less intimidating to others if they ask to borrow it.
