In your opinion, what would you say is the iconic model of the following brands, if you could only choose one. I'm not referring to what you would buy, just which one knife represents the brand. Hope this is fun!

Zero Tolerance
Kershaw
Gerber
SOG
Benchmade
Spyderco
Buck
CRKT
TOPS
ESEE
Microtech
Protech


I know I may have missed a few brands, but these are what I could think of off the top of my head, probably because I have at one point owned these brands. I purposely left out Strider, CRK, and Hinderer because I think I can safely assume their iconic models are fairly obvious...

Not sure that I have a valid opinion on all those, but for Buck, it would be anything from their Custom Shop.
 
I think you're more asking for the iconic model for each of the brands, not so much the flagship model?

For some of them I couldn't choose just one model. I also added in just some of the most classic knives. And yes, the CRK, Hinderer, and Strider knives dont even need to be mentioned because we all know the most iconic models haha.
