Best knife brands?

What... No votes for "Down Under Knives"?

J/K

The best knife brand being as subjective as it is, is going to be the brand you have on you at any given moment when you need it most, and it comes through...
 
Waiting for the thread asking what is the worst knife brand, followed by which is the best OK knife brand, followed by which is the best not so good but kinda still good knife brand, followed by the.......... Don't get me wrong I really like these type of threads I just can't afford all of the popcorn required to enjoy them.
 
It made me chuckle when the OP said we can rule out those two companies, as I'm sure he did it to poke the bear...& because he genuinely has a negative opinion of them. As long as statements like that aren't followed up with more/deeper hater-type remarks, I don't see any harm in it....just his opinion, and he's asking for our opinions on the subject. Personally, I don't know a whole lot about either company, though I've had a few cool CRKT folders & a few cool little fixed blades from Cold Steel. Though I will add that strictly personally, I don't "get" Cold Steel knives for the most part...I just don't quite dig the aesthetics of a lot of them....I guess because I tend to like less tactical designs & materials, & prefer richer scale materials & different steels than CS tends to use in their knives....but I know a ton of super smart men really like their stuff, & I respect the hell out of that.

I vote for Survive Knives, in terms of Production knives....made in U.S. by U.S. Americans, and they now even only use U.S. steels...& I'm assuming all of the rest of their knife/sheath materials are U.S. only....I believe that's correct. The materials themselves are high end like CPM-3V, CPM-20CV, lots of micartas and G10s, & well built Kydex sheaths (I wish they offered leather!!)...& their prices are very competitive....they just take forever to get your hands on, unless you're willing to pay the higher 3rd party prices!

I really vote for all of the great custom fixed blade (lots of great folder-makers too, just not my bag) makers here on BF...aside from Survive, everything I buy these days comes from their talented hands/minds.
 
Hahaaa....I know, that's another cool thing about Bladeforums....we get to revive years old threads just like it was yesterday!
