As a knife nut I know these choices change

but currently if you had to pick one custom and one custom in your rotation to call your favorite which two would it be Merry X Mas

for production stuff I just love the Spyderco Yojimbo II

the knife and lock are so familiar for me it feels like an old friend

that it has a quality trainer is such a plus

for an edc I love the wharnie blade style

carried in a leather horizontal sheath from Wicket Leather in Poland





the custom choice is the tough one for me

I have a few custom folders that I really like but currently the big Navajo styled Gitano by Gudy Van POPPEL with is commanding size and crazy visceral look and feel has my full attention

carried in A custom Shark rig from the Great Paul Long it’s a wicked carry package

when I show this package to people in person and they hear the loud click as it locks open let’s just say it’s rather impressive :)









This is a big aggressive knife that carries well horizontally on the belt




what are yours and why

Merry X Mas
 
You know I love that Gitano!

For production (though admittedly not even vaguely "stock" anymore;)), it's gotta be my CKF MILK. Big knife that carries super slim and light, amazing action, sexy curves...absolutely love it:D

For the custom...I've only actually got a couple, and there is no way I could give up the Turbine Blade from @Mecha :eek:.

But if we're strictly talking about folders that I carry I'm keeping my Diskin too;)

 
For me, my favorite production folder is hands down my Umnumzaan that was sent to WValtakis WValtakis for a bit of awesomeness. Chip made it my own, it fits my personality. It’s bold, it’s unforgiving, it’s The Boss:cool:

I like to call it Samuel L. JackZaan.

(You knew I’d post this one, Chip! You get tired of me telling you how much I love it, but it’s true:D

On the custom side, surely my L51 from Andre Thorburn. Such a great knife all around.

I think I see some fountain pen action going on up there. Do tell!
 
Favorite custom: Zeiba S3 mini with copper wash and gold coated back spacer.

Favorite production: Boye folder in BDS cast 440C.
 
View attachment 1248784 My favorite custom is a Darrel Ralph MADD MAXX with Celtic Braid handle and an S-90-V blade. My favorite production knife is a William Henry B-15 Titan with laminate ZDP-189 blade. I don't rotate any more. These knocked everything else out of my pocket and placket.
