To be honest there isn't a manufacturer out there that has products that cover the entire range of my cutlery interest. That being said I'd probably opt for Condor. I don't have any of their products at the moment but they would be the best fit for me in this scenario.

 

[A.P.F.]

Spyderco.

 

[cramsey3006]

Kabar. No doubt in my mind. With the quality of products AND service, I'd have no problems sending them all of my knife money.

 

[seelow123]

Like shotgun said, there isn't one company that covers all my needs.

For folders, i would pick either spyderco or zero tolerance.

For fixed blades, i would pick esee or kabar (Becker)

Same here.

Great knives, great service , good selection , reasonable prices.

[Nakk77]

Emerson for sure

 

[gooeytek]

KAI (Kershaw/Zero Tolerance/Shun).

 

[harkamus]

If you mean production manufacturer, I will have to say Zero Tolerance.

For custom, DDR hands down.

 

[Noctis3880]

Spyderco. Their sprint runs satisfy my inner steel head:thumbup:.

 

[kadinh]

from companies i have experience with:
1. Spyderco
2. CRK
3. BRKT

fantasy:
1. Spyderco
2. Busse
3. Hinderer

Spyderco. Their sprint runs satisfy my inner steel head:thumbup:.

SAME HERE BROTHER!

 

[edge-holder]

Either Spyderco or Kabar for me, I wouldn't know until absolutely forced to pick one.

 

[flraptor07]

If we're talkin' production manufactures I'm gona have to go the Kershaw/ZT route.

 

[timberweasel]

I like SAKs. The only thing worse than bad SAKs is having no SAKs at all... So imma gonna say Victorinox with Spyderco being a very close second...

[IMightBeWrong]

Esee, Kabar, or Spyderco. Very difficult choice for me, but I like 1095 fixed blades and I like VG-10 folders.

 

[DavidZ]

Busse family of knives for fixed blades and Spyderco for folders.

+1 for me too!! :thumbup:

Folder Caly 3.5
Fixed - Bushcraft
Chopper - Busse NMFBM LE

 

[ASBOB]

I consider this a nasty gambit to get me to save lots of money!

I'd go with either ESEE or KA-BAR/Becker for fixed blades, Spyderco for folders & Victorinox for SAKs & Multi-tools.

If forced to only choose one of those I'd have to make it Victorinox. My OHT could be used just fine for a folder and my other SAKs are fine as SAKs. My SwissTool X is a perfectly capable multi-tool. For fixed blades I suppose I'd have to get a sheath made up for a Victorinox kitchen knife. If there is one knife brand I couldn't be without it would definitely be Victorinox.
