Favorite Lock-back folder?

[Buzzbait]

I love both my Manix and stainless steel Endura. But for a favorite, I'd have a choose The Angry Beaver

 

[cpirtle]

I'll start by saying that there are not nearly enough good lock backs to choose from, I wish there were 3-4 x's the selection that's currently available.

Here's my short list...

Chinook 1 - all time favorite, just not the right knife for frequent carry. I grab it when I need something heavier duty or know I won't be cutting a lot.

Spyderco Persian - This is the best kept secret in Spyderco's line. Great value, great ergo's and a great design.

Buck 110 - American history, rock solid construction.

BUCK 110 followed closely by my 112fg. I really like wood and brass lockbacks .

Would have to be the Chinook2, it's what I have carried everyday for the most part for over a year.

Next best, probably the Persian, it gets carried ocassionally.

I put the military in the pocket ocassionanlly as well, but not for long, the Chinook gets the most favored vote.

For looks, my custom 110 with damascus blade and stag handle. For usage, my Native III.

 

[tknife]

The Manix for sure. It's been a while since I've appreciated a factory knife as much as this one.

I can't decide:

Buck 112 or Schrade LB7 or Schrade LB3 or Schrade 5OT or Schrade 3OT or Puma Prince or maybe my old stag handled multiblade Boker...

My first quality knife was a SOG Tomcat, I still like that model a lot though its been a long time since I owned one. My fav now is my g10 standard with full serrated blade. I consider it to be the ultimate pocket knife. Right size, comfy to use and carry and that awesome spyder edge. If I can ever get my hands on a g10 police that might take it but unti then its the standard.

 

[JDBLADE]

Spyderco Calypso Jr for me.

 

[Adam Bomb]

AG Russell StrikeForce. I don't think the Featherlite qualifies as a lockback.

 

[runT1ME]

Manix for sure. It almost seems wrong though, to rate the manix in a context as specific as this. If the question was "favorite production folder", I can gaurantee you'd have just as many people responding with Manix.

 

[stefanschlaegel]

Spyderco Delica from Santa Fe Stoneworks, plain
Spyderco Calypso, Micarta, plain
Spyderco Rookie G-10, fully serrated
Spyderco Co-Pilot, plain
William Henry Spire, Cocobolo

my favorite lockback by far is the extrema ratio nemisis or fulcrum, very heavy duty imho.
