While only have 3 of the offerings CRK-SPYDERCO and BENCHMADE, it would be in order of SPYDERCO-CRK then BENCHMADE, I would actually carry the CRK more but the clip just doesn’t work for me so when i do carry it is without a clip in a belt sheath/ pouch

Where's Tac-Force? 
lol But, Spyderco is definitely my top pick. So many good and useful and honestly good-looking designs. One of the companies I actively follow. Sal Glesser seems like a great guy, too, as well as his son.
Would love to try a Microtech OTF, preferably one of the longer ones. Would also love to try ZT. No experience with them. Nothing against CRK, but they seem great, just a bit...boring. Hinderer and Medford and Burger to me are big clunky chonksters that I wouldn't pay that kind of cash for. I like Scandi and saber grinds, too.... I'd buy a folding Mora.
I won't buy a Benchmade because of the shoddy customer service I have seen people go through, the extra spring to basically have the same action as a comp lock, but with terrible springs that break. If others can get it right on their own product, why can't they? I don't want to HAVE to buy aftermarket parts for a thing to work properly. The Bugout is something that I do not get the hype for, I would reach for a R2D2 from Ontario if I feel like I want a Bugout, or maybe a LW Spydie. Only designs that interest me are the 940 and the Cruwear Adamas.
Honorable mentions to Otter-Messer, Ontario, Opinel, Cold Steel, Modele Depose
