My first ZT, the 0450cfzdp has. Looked into ZT a while ago but was eh because of the weight of every model I had looked at. That is until I saw this little guy for sale at HoB only weighting 2.7oz. This has quickly made its way to the top of my favorites. My #1 has been the 940 variants for EDC. This little guy has tied itself with the 940. I absolutely love the slimness of this knife and lightning quick deployment. Feels perfect in my xl hands. And disappears on my person. Cant wait for ZT to release more variants of this knife.

I love the Ritter Griptilian especially with the deep pocket clip and new after market scales. Wicked sharp.
Mine would have to be the Spyderco Tenacious. First Chinese made knife I have ever bought. Had pretty low expectations but was quickly impressed with the level of quality. Only one I'll buy though. It was for my wife to carry in her purse, which is a death sentence to knives. I'm not blowing good money on a knife that will only know abuse it's entire life and not be appreciated by it's user.
The Boker Exskelibur 1 - titanium framelock that I just bought really does amaze me. I had the good fortune to handle one before buying. The knife checked off a lot of boxes for me for EDC - Very simple design, incredible lightness and thin handle profile, great blade shape and grind (one of the best slicing knives I have used), very good steel (S35vn), simple to take apart and service, and the front flipper works amazingly well. The price was reasonable as well.
One other knife that continues to blow me away is the Opinel series. I use the Opinel 7 Inox the most. I was skeptical when I first bought one years ago. It's design, wonderful ergo's, great blade shape and slicing ability, easy reliable lock ring and sharpening keeps me coming back to this knife. I remember as a kid my grandfather using these for woodworking decades ago, I had no clue about them then and am amazed at how useful a cutting tool the Opinel series has been to so many people all over the world for so long.
