what is everyones favorite "family" of knives? by family i mean model categories (ie spyderco delica, paramilitary/military, benchmade griptillian etc)

for me it would have to be the digicam/satin paramilitary/para2/military group of knives :cool:

Such a great slicer
 
Large to XL tactical folders.
 
I am fan of Spyderco Schemmp's Persian Family. At one time I had 12, four of each: original C83, C85, and C83 sprint. Now I am down to 10. Next month probably one C105 will go to my son, will be only 9 left, which is absolute minimum.
Not a fan of Persian, by the way. But love Navaja. Persian and Navaja kind of cousins, or half-brothers. :)
 
Depends on the day and how much my ADD is acting up! Could be small slipjoints one day, large fixed blades the next. It's usually small to medium (2 1/2" - 3 3/4") tactical folders as that's what the constabulary in Memphis allows me to carry.
 
I am a fan of the kershaw "onion" family and the blur line. the onions offer everything you could ever want in an assisted folder, with all the size options one could basically ask for. the ken onion blur have something for those who want to spend a bit less than 100 bucks and get decent steel, or those who want nice steel for about 100 bucks. besides, the knife is really nice.

+1 I agree 100%
 
I'm going to be boring and say the Delica family, and I may be taking liberties by including the Salts in that group. I find the size and weight perfect for EDC, and they seem to fit my hand better than any other knife I own. One of my D4s is usually riding in my pocket, and I change out to a Salt when I am running, cycling or at the beach.
 
Lately, I've been getting into the CRKT M16 line of folders...They seem to be a very good value for the $.
 
I really like the Military's and Sages. Also a fan of the Caly's. I guess spyderco has me wrapped.
