Eliminate Price: What Is Truly The Greatest Folding Knife

well personally for a hard use knife the svord peasent good steel, easy to sharpen can baton with it if wanted
 
A greatest knife would have to be perfect and there are no perfect knives i do believe.

Is there a greatest guitar player?
 
So we're all pretty well agreed that "best" covers a huge gray area, which is mostly defined by the individual.

My opinion, then, is a full custom you design yourself.

Of course, I want a folder that is as strong as possible in all aspects for EDC.

And a more lightly constructed one that has a more "gentlemanly" appearance for nice.

And a medium-sized fixed blade that is more like a sharpened prybar for those times when I just might need it.

So, even when you allow that this is all in each person's head, it can still be difficult to choose "one", because there is a huge spectrum of sizes, shapes, materials, and the inevitable chaos created when two people's perceptions of the same object rub shoulders in a public setting (Oh my God! He's got a knife! Heh. That's no knife...)
 
C'mon guys- if price and availability isn't an issue, the best folder is obviously a Lochsa.

Either that or a Buck 110- or a Sebenza. Or maybe a ZTxxx- I mean a Rockstead. Actually, I think it's the...
 
Jeff Beck BEST living guitar slinger, best deceased axe player has to be Roy Buchanan! keepem sharp
 
My two cents......Demko AD-10 for true custom. Production knives would be Striders of any flavor and persuasion.
 
It depends on your needs!
Small folder- sebenza
Dress folder- William Henry or several versions of custom slip joint made to my specs
Work folder- never owed a demco, but I have heard lots of great things about them. I personally think my best built folder is my greyman.

Unfortunality, price is always an issue though unless you are in the 1% category-:)
 
My custom spearpoint ground xm18 3.5 inch with duratech 20cv. Super slicer with a thick enough tip and bladestock for a great amount of strength
 
In the sub $100 range I like mini-grips and Paramilitarys. I am always buying/trading/selling them but am never without a couple of each. They just work.

It'll be the one I have at hand, won't matter if the truly greatest one is sitting at home in it's queen chambers, when you have something that needs cutting right now, so what ever you carry, keep it clean, sharp and near at hand, as you never know when you'll really need to call on it's edge to be pressed into work. I have traveled to a lot of places around the world, in glass container manufacturing plants, in Mexico the mechanics at one plant had old hacksaw blades with electrical tape for a handle, this is the regular hacksaw not a power saw, in Bulgaria the workers there, when they had to cut some rope or plastic would take a piece of broken bottle, glass is sharp remember ;) and they would use that to make the cut they needed at that time.

Carry the best, most functional knife you can, but for the sake of this thread, right now, it's the Spyderco Resilience for powerful cutting performance, a large enough blade for any task and a very very quick opening method via the thumb hole, I use the right index finger flick and wow, it's very fast deployment !!!

But, it all counts for nothing if it isn't with you! :)

I have had most of the knives already mentioned and would have agreed with many of the previous posts,
But since I bought this:
