Hey all,
With the release of the ZT/Hinderer 0551, I'm wondering whats every ones favorite collab that you own or wish you owned?

For me its gotta be my grail knife.My Spyderco C27 Jess Horn

And for a user, definitely my newly acquired 0551.

Spyderco: probably the Gayle Bradley
Benchmade: tie between 630 (Blackwood) and 425 (Snody)
 
The ZT 0551 is definitely a winner. I'm also a big fan of the Kershaw Volt (RJ Martin design), the ZT 0300 (Onion/Strider design), and the Microtech LCC D/A (Greg Lightfoot design).
 
My favorite is the Microtech LCC. It has long been discontinued, but I was lucky enough to pick one up.
 
Benchmade/Blackwood 630/635 Skirmish/Mini-Skirmish
Buck/Mayo TNT
Kershaw/Galyean JYD
Microtech/Lightfoot LCC
 
The new Emerson/Klötzli collaboration is pretty convincing:

So is the Walker/Klötzli collaboration "05":

And the recent CRKT Centofante Tribute:

I would have to vote for the ZT 0551 since its my first collaboration knife .

Its a nice knife.

The one in my pocket.. a BM/Sibert 755 MPR. This is one tough little folder...

I'm pretty impressed with my buck/tops csar-t it's definitely one of the toughest folders I own.
 
I really like the Lee Williams designed Kershaw OD-1 in my pocket right now. Next will be the CRKT/Ken Onion Eros. But that Klotzli Emerson.... WOOF!:thumbup::eek:

Mentioned this in a similar thread a few days ago, but for me it's the Kershaw Volt (RJ Martin) and Spyderco Gayle Bradley.

If this knife is anything like the custom version, then it's an absolutely fantastic folder. my vote goes to this, the BM 960 or the BM 710, just because of the introduction of the axis lock. BM isn't my favorite non-semi-custom production company, but I think they have the best collaborations with custom makers. similarly, axis lock isn't my favorite lock.

edit: I can't believe I forgot the Buck/Mayo TNT. that's definitely up there with everything else I mentioned (maybe a little bit higher up on the list, actually)

Queen Dan Burke Small Barlow and either Kershaw Groove (RJ Martin) or ZT 0300 series. Not quite sure why I like the Groove but I do.
 
I have to agree with the Micro LCC ...Man I wished I kept that one
