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

Pretty sure it would be Bark River

 

Handmade KHHI Bowie with power hammer forged out of EN - 31 industrial carbon tool steel, 12 inch blade,10mm thick, full tang

 

Well, I haven't used any higher end knives, but I really like the look of Esee's lineup of knives. It'd be between them and Benchmade.

 

I think picking parent companies for an umbrella of coverage is kinda cheating, but if permitted it is Kai hands down. Cheap and expensive everything- kitchen knives, folders, fixed blades... They do it all. If it was one actual brand (no parent company subsidiary loophole) I would have to take Spyderco because they have cheap imports up to high dollar pioneering designs. I have to have cheap knives and high end knives, can't do either or.

 

Cold Steel. In case nobody's said it.

And I can still carry my Skeletool.

 

Crk 100%

 

Gec..more options, styles and each model is moddable to any desire

 

so in this scenario you will never have a folding knife

 

Kabar makes folders, [emoji57]

Thou I do prefer fixed blades as that's what 99% of my collection is anyway.

 

It would have to be Victorinox, with Spyderco a close second.

 

Benchmade or spyderco. Either one

 

KAI big surprise huh lol

 

Case, Buck, or Ka-Bar and I think Ka-Bar wins out. I like the new folders the have coming and the fixed blades are more than enough for what I need.

 

Al Mar for fixed, folders, traditional, and kitchen knives. I've never had an issue worth their products.

 

Benchmade
I would like a esee also
Buck made me mad when they went overseas

 

My words as well

 

Spyderco

 

I love my KHHI scourge and american eagle khukri!!! +1 for KHHI ...


But really I'd say spyderco. They would feed my lust for exotic steels and with a variety of lock and deployment types as well as many collaborations with great designers (didn't see that the post said there couldn't be more designers just companies right?!?) I could survive with just spydies but damn that is still not a world I'd like to see 😭

 

I guess it would be the company that makes the knife I carry when I want a knife that'll go anywhere, do anything, and I never have to worry about it... Emerson.

 

It would actually have to be sog for me because I would need to have multi tools similar to a leather man but I also would need fixed blades and folding knives so they have my needs
