Eliminate Price: What Is Truly The Greatest Folding Knife

This thread is redundant.

There are levels to knives.

Value - Premium - Quality - Custom - Exclusivity

There is no greatest knife, there is no one knife to rule 'em all.

Imagine calling a Veyron the greatest car, then someone else says nope the 2012 Ferrari F1 car is the greatest car. See where I'm going?

If you're just looking for opinions than my favorite is the spyderco southard, I have had numerous knives from all the ” categories”. My very close second is the xm18 in slicer grind.
 
The Benchmade forum Rift is pretty close with carbon fiber scales and M4 blade. It is the right size, fits my hand great, has alot of blade length for its size, has a thin grind at the edge yet a strong tip, and most importantly has an AXIS lock. But I would prefer something with a custom heat treat as they seem to hold an edge so much better. So a blade made by Phil Wilson with his choice of steel and heat treat would be about perfect. Maybe CTS-20CP or M390?

This is definitely a question that comes down to personal preference and looks. I think the ZT 0350 is a brick and the new Southard flipper is one of the ugliest knives I've seen yet multiple people picked them. Different strokes for different folks.
 
Speaking of bricks, my new BM 755 MPR with M390 steel is a brick that really fits my hands perfectly. Knives are like kids, you love them all equally (heh!) but some are mean-looking and some real sweet.

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...

Can someone please tell me why on earth the Lochsa cost so much. I never got to handle one the the prices when it is auctioned off are insane. Anyone else looking to get their hands one one of these? How do you even get to handle one of these or how does someone pay so much for them without seeing one in person?
 
For me, the type of knife that stands out most is an integral framelock. Simple, strong, dependable.
A framelock knife with a handle made from a single piece of titanium.
The first knife that pops into your head when you think "integral titanium framelock" is Scott Cook's Lochsa.


My answer: Lochsa :D
