Favorite Folder with 4inch or longer blade

What I've had:
ZT200 - Excellent knife (fit/finish/build) but not and EDC. I like a big folder but just didn't work. Maybe if the scales were flattened out more and go rid of the flipper and made the thumb studs easier to access. Sold it.
Skirmish - Titanium and thick ass blade. Did the "Oxyclean" on the Ti to get it a dull gray and remove the "less than manly" looking anodizing in the divots. Not a big re-curve blade fan but it's thin and relatively light for the size. This sucker is honk'n big.. yet light and thin (side-to-side) but wide (spine-to-back). Win-ish... still have. Don't make anymore so has collectability, plus it's just a cool ass blade. Lots of style.
Kershaw Tyrade - Nice design, assisted, heavy, thin-ish but wide (spine-to-back) in pocket. Sold the orange and tan.
Rukus - Decent but didn't dig the handle. Blade shape was very nice but the handle didn't do it for me. Sold
Spyderco Military - Light, thin, thin, fast, excellent craftsmanship. I convert mine to tip-up on my drill press and they are perfect. Have two and looking for more. They need a full-serrated version again. It's pretty much my grail knife with a few nit-picks. Should come factory with 4-point carry option but other than that simple fix with drill bit, tap and some loctite, it's pretty much perfect. For the price and utility, this is the one (neo).

Just my perspective.. YMMV
 
Over 4 inches:

Camillus Cuda Maxx 5.5 inch D2
Lone Wolf T3
Ontario Retribution 1
Police 3


I can't pick just 1.
 
SMF is the current favorite, but hopefully i have an Alphahunter framelock in s90v on the way!
 
Another vote for the BM 630 Skirmish.
I also just received a Hinderer XM-24. It's just about the perfect folder.
