Just for fun was wondering my favorite knife brand and wanted y’all’s opinion
:)
I have listed popular knife brands sorry if I didn’t list your favorite, I couldn’t list them all or the list would be enormous
 
My favorite brand is probably Herman but I didn’t list it because it’s not a mainstream brand
I was wondering what y’all’s favorite mainstream popular brand was
 
There are over 350 knives in my collection and over 150 of them are Spydercos.

Guess my answer. LOL! ;)

I also own over 60 Kershaws and 40 ZTs -- all mostly "vintage" 1990-2010 models.

So, KAI USA Ltd - which represents both Kershaw and ZT -- would be my 2nd choice.

There are a wide variety of other brands represented in my collection but I've never owned a Medford which never appealed to me. Owned and sold 2 Hinderers but still own a variety of knives made by Microtech, Benchmade and Protech which are mostly autos.

Some other popular "favorites" around here include WE, Kizer, Reate, Shirogorov, and Olamic.

Just due to the sheer number of models that have been EDC wins for me, I'd probably go with WE.
 
Where is my brand ? :eek::p

Based on what I carry, my answer would be Victorinox.

Since it’s not an option, I chose Spyderco because I’ve owned a bunch over the past ten years, and the consistency has been impressive. Not to mention the fact that Sal seems to be one of the really good guys in the industry.

Working on my latest collection since about 1986, when my previous collection was rudely stolen...
Currently, I've got 3 leather duffle bags full of more heavy metal than I can now currently lift.
I suppose I can be adequately described as a "Cheap old <insert favorite derogatory here>
so if MASS is how "favorite" is defined, then I suppose Gerber might possibly meet that qualification?

While I actually own, likely, far more, of other brands, I have absolutely no clue what those brands might be.
I have suffered 3 strokes, and my once Eidetic memory has been reduced to that of a goldfish. If I can even
remember that I like Gerber knives, It's a good day! On the other hand, I likely own more Schrade/Old Timers
than Gerbers. I vaguely remember dropping about $1200 on cheap $5-$20 knives back about a decade ago...

Once, I actually USED knives, I was an avid hunter/sportsman/outdoorsman, So I do have a huge assortment of actual
USEFUL and used knives. I can't do that kind of thing anymore. Where once, I collected guns, now I collect knives.
It's a LOT cheaper!

Mind you, I just started getting into that lovely marbled look of S30V steel! So currently, most of my collection
is the more traditional and much less expensive.

I'm currently awaiting the arrival of a new to me DSLR, and only today finally figured out how to use my newly arrived cheap
cheesy $10 webcam to take pictures of a very limited number of just part of my folding collection.

Sadly, I'm not yet allowed to post pictures. Soon I hope!
 
Unfortunately, none of My favorites are on your list.......

I did read the tutorials, honestly, nothing I haven't read on forums since the early 90's!
Wasn't Whining - It allows me to input a URL, but doesn't allow me to upload my own photo's,
At least not that I can see...

^^ Yeah, I don't own any of those 6 brands...
 
My fav brand isn’t listed. Of those listed I’d probably say Protech although I own more Spydercos but that’s simp,y because they have more models. I honestly don’t think they are that great but a good useful knife so I buy them.
