If you could only live with one knife brand...

[quattro98]

Spyderco
Broad variety of designs including nice EDC, hard use folders, and refined knives. Also make fixed blades. Wide range of steel choices and lock designs.

 

[Valyrian steel]

BUCK

[basmca]

ZT no doubt.

 

[Grateful]

Theres a couple of other brands that I would really miss but if i had to choose I would choose Buck. I don't carry one everyday but I can't imagine not having a 110 around.

 

[Cobalt]

Folding: Spyderco without a doubt.

Fixed: Busse kin without a doubt.

 

[Wolverine777]

Spyderco. Absolutely.

 

[Wolverine777]

Ugh. I’m so friggin predictable I disgust myself.

I’ll agree with myself from 2 yrs ago...

Hahaha. At least you're consistent.

Spyderco for me.Love their history and innovation. I only own 4 now but I'm working on that. I got bad thumbs so the spydie hole works great and ive never owned a spyderco that was dissappointing. A leaf point Enuff model was my latestspydie and its my edc blade now.

Hinderer, now that they have a slipjoint. Like their folders and fixed blades. Their ergos are really excellent for me. Tons of aftermarket and customization options helps keep them fresh.

Spyderco is a close second because of the sheer variety.

 

[vilePossum]

Only one?

Victorinox

They might not have the hardest super steel of the month (but hey maybe they'd start using it then) but they have kitchen knives, multi tools, Saks...

 

[Alberta Ed]

The concept is too awful to contemplate.

 

[BD_01]

If I had the cash, CRK. I haven’t met one I didn’t love. The longer I spend with them, the more I grow to appreciate the total package.

Coming back to the reality of finance, I’d have to join the troop of Spyderco. Their catalogue is just so varied. Functionally they tend to be top notch.

Interestingly, although there are more Spydies in my collection than any other single manufacturer, my EDC tends to spend more time with Reeve and ZT.

 

[Boozoo Chavis]

Spyderco with Zero Tolerance a close second.

 

[Henry Beige]

Mora or Opinel.

 

[PNWhovian]

Spyderco pretty much covers all areas I can think of.

Grayman would be my other choice.

 

[straitr]

If restricted to 1 brand, it would be CRK.

Agreed.

 

[Casinostocks]

I already do and the brand is called CPK (not to be mistaken for CRK!). Well, I'd be cheating if I didn't mention for full disclosure that my few folders are all from Spyderco!

 

[kylemiller]

Benchmade.

Nothing beats an axis lock for speed in and out of the pocket. Also, I can use my Proxy when all my omega springs break.

 

[Man with no name]

Buck 110/120 would just about cover any needs where a knife is required.
