I have a Link, one of the s35vn variants. It's an exceptional knife, the build quality of the Aluminum ones are fine for $90; for $25 it is flat out crazy good. For $25 you get an American made folder with a very useful design, build quality of a $100ish knife, a good warranty, and 420ch is not even a bad steel at this price point. I can't think of a better EDC knife in the same price range.
Here are some pictures of mine. I carry it pretty often, it stands up to all of the other knives in my rotation, even ones that are significantly more expensive.

namhodYep it's the front loader part of a John Dear backhoe/tractor. I just loaded it on my trailer and chained it down, had to cut something with my knife and decided to take this picture.
It's one of my favorite pictures as well.

DanTheKnifeManIs it your main EDC? I admit I haven't carried mine as much as I would like, but it has earned a spot in my rotation. I can't use liner locks at work anymore, the required gloves have gotten pretty bulky in the last couple of years.

namhodI would not call it my "main" one, the first week or two I carried it straight, now it's just part of the rotation. I know what you mean about the liner locks being hard some times with gloves. I find some of the more beefy frame locks, my ZT 0562cf in particular, do pretty well. My all time heavy duty go to folders though are Cold Steel Tri-adds, I have no problem using my Code 4 with welding gloves even.
At the moment though I'm on a small fixed blade kind of mood, rotating between a Kershaw Fixed Skyline, CRKT Bowie Minimalist, and Gavko EDC.

DanTheKnifeManFolding skyline was my main for years. First knife I recommend to newbies.
I have been eyeing that Folts minimalist, the handle just looks like it would feel funky.
