Lone wolf

as for yours

The ruckus and mchenry Williams are great

The Recon one is a good knife but overpriced for what you get IMHO

The charge TTI is my favorite multi-tool, Its got a great one hand opening blade made from a great steel and a bunch of tools. to be fair I have not tried a swiss tool

As for saying which knives to remove, personally i would not buy the CRKTs the Cold steels or the Gerber, but that is personal preference shaped by my experiences; none of those companies impressed me. But, buy what you want if you don't like it you could always sell, trade, gift, however research what you buy thoroughly.

SPYDERCO
Endura 4 - no need for zdp, the endura is not meant to be high end. if you crave s30v or g10 or just a very high quality knife, the paramilitary or military (uncoated) is definitely what you want to try. the paramilitary is probably your best bet for your 1st standard edc knife in my opinion.

BENCHMADE
42 - if you want a high end bali, i guess

KERSHAW
Zero Tolerance 350, or 300 if you want a super fat overbuilt knife

COLD STEEL
regular trail master is what you want if you are going to actually use it regularly. however, if you want something even nicer, try a swamp rat or scrapyard (~$150)

EMERSON
emerson isnt what you want for your first standard edc knife. but after you try a military/paramilitary and you still crave one, you might want to try a cqc-7 or super commander in true satin for that aesthetic/sd fix.

LEATHERMAN
Charge TTi - also look into the swisstool spirit. if you want to carry every day get a thin lm juice.
 
That's very long list there, but no Busse, Scrap Yard or Swamp Rats. :confused:
 
That's quite a list. I say that this is YOUR list. If you like them, then go ahead and buy them. If I posted MY list, others would pick and choose through it too, but the fact is, these are the knives that you like.
 
KERSHAW
Zero Tolerance 350, or 300 if you want a super fat overbuilt knife

For a knife that is around $115 and has an S30V blade, real thick linear lock, low profile clip, and is assisted opening about the only thing to dislike about the knife is it's weight, 6.2 oz.
 
I personally would remove the enduras and replace with the military as mentioned previously. The endura doesn't stand out to me as being particularly special in any way, plus I don't prefer the lockback design.
 
My blunt but own opinion, drop the cold steels, sogs, crkts, and gerber. I'd also drop the ZDP Endura. VG10 is good stuff. I'd also recommend a Military.
