[Reeek]

Spyderco, Benchmade and Kershaw make up the largest portion of my knife collection but I'm hard pressed to choose a favorite because I have so many other knives I like a lot too. I tend to get a lot of joy out of great knives for little money for instance. I have been carrying a Browning Mcusta Ice Storm (green straight handle) recently and I still get a kick out of how nice that knife is for $30. I confess I have been on a Spyderco kick recently though . . . I've bought 10 Spydercos in the past 2-3 months.

My favorite knife companies differ from my favorite knife in that I look at them as would I want to work for them. There is also some I can't decide between thus a tie. My favorite knife companies are:

1. Benchmade/Spyderco
2. Al Mar/Kershaw
3. Ontario
4. Victorinox

My favorite knives, those that I injoy the most are traditional slip joints; so Queen Cutlery or Ontario Knives if you prefer is my favorite maker of knives.
