My BM 722 (G10 handle) I've had for several years. It has always seemed like a nice knife but for some reason only recently have I really warmed up to it. It's easy to sharpen and just seems like a really nice size.

 
My Spyderco P-Mil. That knife has been resurrected, and it is THE one! I love it.
 
My CRKT Prowler , had it for a couple of years now.

Liked it at first then forgot about it in lieu of newer knives.

Rediscovered it , modded it and now it's one of my favorite edc's for work.
 
Kershaw Needs work. I didn't like the knife at first, looks ect ect., but then i was sent one, and i must say, it is a nice little knife. very nice
 
I've recently acquired a Kershaw Speed Bump, through a Giveaway on these forums, and the blade style has really grown on me. Knives to me, for the most part, are tools, and as such I usually choose one that gets the job done, but is easy to maintain. Truth be told, the Bump was a down on my list of future knife purchases, but since I've been carrying it as my Primary EDC, I've really taking a liking to the Bump's blade.
 
Spyderco Delica. There are lots of other knives that I like the looks of better, but when it comes right down to the basics of how it feels in the hand when cutting and how it carries in the pocket, it is very hard to find another knife that I like as much, even at much higher prices.
 
My CRKT S-2 is one I had for a long time before I really began to like it. Ditto on the Cold Steel Recon 1, which I always had thought was a bit too heavy.
 
My large CRK micarta inlay classic. At first it seemed too plain and the edge wasn't as sharp as I like. I sent it to the grind monkey in Arkansas to get a proper edge on it. Then I took it apart a couple times to smooth out the action and now I'm as happy as can be. It's a great utilitarian folder IMHO.:thumbup:
 
At first, I thought that my Buck 277 Alpha Hunter was too massive. However, after using it in the kitchen and for general duty, I find that I can't live without it. It is now my EDC.

My Spyderco Dragonfly SS. My wife got one for me a few years ago, and it's become one of my "go to" knives. It was never a knife on my radar, but it keeps on finding its' way back into my pocket.
 
I bought a cricket online and didn't realize it was so small. I almost sold it, but started using it as a money clip and thus almost always have it on me, which isn't the case with the rest of my knives.

I tend to use it pretty often now and it cuts like crazy! (Spyderedge version.)
 
i love my ritter gripper i had it for three months and decided to buy another its still in my tool box unused if i ever loose this one ill have another the blade shape is great i like the way i can open and close it in a flash good steel fits my hand great its my edc and has been for 4 years i dont think id trade it for a lefty sebbie:eek::D now you no im full of sh??. seriously its a keeper
 
Picked up a Benchmade AFCK at a local pawn shop, CE ATS-34 blade, G 10 handles. Wasn't that I didn't like it, but didn't think I'd carry it much. Turns out as of late it's one knife I really like. Light, big and razor sharp.
 
Strider ARs. The first one I held was a Toxic AR and I just didn't get it. Low blade to handle ratio and it was still HUGE. The stock ARs were about the same for me, too much handle and not enough blade. Then I got a modified AR and I'm really liking it. Although since it's modified I don't know if it counts.:confused:

Here's a pic:

Spyderco's Calypso Jnr and Fallkniven U2,I can not make my mind up which is my favourite?????
 
It's not love at first sight for me. I thought that they are too expensive, but after couple weeks using and handling them. I now own 3 Striders

I bought a Lambert Whar because it was a very good deal ad I would use it as a trade.
It was flashy bordering on tacky with a anodized timascus bolsters and CF scales with polished double hollow ground pointy wharncliffe blade made of S30V. Pretty much the opposite of the simple using knives I usually like but damn if it is not sweet and sharp and exceedingly well made. I just today made a deal for another Lambert but this time a little less flashy. An inferno with CF scales and a framelock.
