A Spyderco, a Benchmade and a Kershaw all walk into a bar...

[Tsujigiri]

Spyderco Gayle Bradley
Benchmade 943
Kershaw Shallot

But really, Kershaw is more of a heavy hitter in the sub $100 category. To compare to the two other knives, it would be more appropriate to use a Zero Tolerance, like the 0551.

Haven't owned a Spyderco in a long time, so I can't say in that regard.

Benchmade: Tossup between 943 and 710. (depends on if you want big or 'normal' size).

Kershaw: Leek

Other: Sebenza Insingo (don't own, but like the blade design)

I have to say these 3 and I have to sub the ZT for Kershaw, because I like ZT a lot better.

Missed that part.

Another must have would be a Vic Soldier/Wenger SI

Exactly!

Though, I always have a Vic with scissors and stuff in my backpack (model Climber I think).
