Favorite Brand?

Benchmade... All day, every day. Not just because I love their knives, and extremely versatile selection, but, their customer-service is incredible. Also, I've beat my AFO 2 to death and (aside from broken pocket clips) have had no problems. I've been drooling over the bushcrafter for a while now, but still haven't pulled the trigger.

 

Spyderco by a mile.

 

I keep going back to benchmade. Spyderco a close second, but the spydie hole on a lot of blades make them too wide in the pocket

 

spyderco is still my all round favorite, pm2 being my favorite folder. Zt would be a close second with the zt0452cf

 

Spyderco is my favorite but not in love with there newer models .

 

Spyderco with zero tolerance being a close second

 

Microtech for me, they make everything from super lightweight OTF's for carry to big ass fixed bladed like the Interceptor.

 

Sanrenmu, Schrade and S&W are all tied for first place.

 

Victorinox. Hands down.

 

Zero Tolerance followed closely by Kershaw.

 

I like my Benchmade knives but I would choose Spyderco.

 

I always have a Leatherman Wave in a belt pouch. If I could have that plus a knife, it would be my Smith & Sons Mudbug(made by GEC). If just one knife and no multi-tool, I'd select my SAK one-handed Trekker with non-serrated blade.

 

Fixed blade - Big Chris
Folder - Sebenza 25
Why, they work for me

 

KAI.

That means Kershaw, Zero Tolerance and Shun.

Thanks and good night.

This is a tough one. There's so many great knives out there but for me it would be tough to decide between William Henry, Chris Reeves, Benchmade or Al Mar. Not a huge fan of Spyderco's designs especially their all plastic handle knives.

SAK,CASE, USA Old Timer, CRTK BUCK Coast.

 

Would have to go BM too. Love the axis lock and the choices available, have never tried their fixed blade offerings though.

 

Just for Fun, carry and light duty stuff: Spyderco, without a doubt but for pure heavy duty users I'd have to go FKMD since I don't like spydercos fixed blades and FKMDs Scream quality. There's also Böker and DPx floating around somewhere in this lineup
Favorite knife is hard to pinpoint; lets say PITS, Southard, FKMD FX-121 or Urban Lightweight

CRK...

Their product line covers most knife requirements...now if the Impofu would have been regular production, the large fixed blade would be covered too...

Great customer service...although my experience it limited to calling in with a few questions...

 

I like nice things! Nice guitars, nice amps, nice cameras, nice lenses, nice bows, nice arrows, nice guns, nice everything. When the knife bug bit me, I devised a strategy...buy several (4 or more) of multiple brands to see which features I liked or didn't like. Those brands were Spyderco, Benchmade, Kershaw, CRKT and Zero Tolerance. My basic theory was I could sell those I didn't care that much for. I found knives from all of these to be much better than I expected and very useful. My favorites are flippers that are light.. I like them better than I would have thought. Not every one of them but most. Then I decided on a size...actually two sizes...one for the front pocket and one for the back. I carried each of them for a while and came to the conclusion that the front pocket knife...cutting boxes, opening mail and packages came down to "who cares"... if it works, it is fine. For looks a small CRK Sebenza will probably some day be bought. It is quadruple overkill but I can afford it. A really fancy one would be nice. If I sell all my smaller folders, I can buy two or three from the sale proceeds. If CRK made a small flipper, I would be in heaven for at least 15 minutes. The back pocket knife I like the best is a flipper, light, not too wide. and one that doesn't feel like I'm sitting on an anvil. To date the ZT 0452CF anodized blue is the reigning king. The medium sized folders are fine (for other people) and carried as a front pocket knife is overkill but works. Back in the day when I was SCUBA diving, skydiving, piloting multi-engine aircraft and hunting/butchering hogs and deer, my answers would be different. My final answer is: Zero Tolerance but is always subject to change...please consult with my ex-wives for further details.
