Knives that you were pleasantly surprised by

The Kershaw Strobe impressed me. Fit and finish, balance, bearing pivot, deep carry pocket clip, milled liners and price make it an astonishing value. Surprised for sure.

Feel free to email me the link or message me if you get the chance, thanks for the info.

I'm also pretty happy about the shuffle 2. What a great idea, wish the made a shuffle 3 just a little bigger still. Even so, for such a cheap beater, can't wait to get mine. I wouldn't mind if it was drop point though...

I left you a visitor message with their info, I think that's the only kind of messages my profile can send for now (not enough posts, I assume).
 
The cold steel GI Tanto. This is one tough knife, and the Securex sheath it comes with is more than decent. Especially since I only payed $24.00 shipped! Best cheap, tough as hell beater fixed blade I have ever used.

My recently purchased Al Mar SERE 2000. I had no experience with Al Mar, but had been admiring the looks of this knife for a while. Checked out many positive reviews, and decided to pull the trigger 5 days ago. I have not been disappointed.

The fit and finish on this knife is nothing short of superb. Every part is flush, fit precisely, and tightly. The blade, hardware and liners are all polished beautifully. Even the inside of the liners are polished. I don't think I've ever seen a better fit back spacer on a production folder. It is perfectly flush. The blade grinds are precise, and perfectly symmetrical, and the satin polish on the blade is outstanding. The action is smooth as glass, and the lockup is solid, with no play in any direction.

The VG10 blade takes a very keen edge, and the edge bevel is very even, symmetrical, and fairly smoothly polished.

I guess you can tell I like this knife. I didn't know what to expect from Al Mar, but I am very impressed. This one is a keeper.
 
I just recently picked up a Shirogorov Model 95 T and it has exceeded my expectations. I don't have any faults to give this knife other than it makes me want to buy another one of their knives. I wish they made a smaller version.

It has the best flipping action that I have ever owned. I haven't owned a Todd Begg Bodega but I did own a RJ Martin Overkill and the Model 95 T that I have flips better imo.

I wish I would've had an ear on the rail about Shirogorov before it became a "must have" to an extent.

Seems to be a well-executed knife. However, I am unwilling to part with a "Cleveland" for it.
 
Opinels. In terms of raw cutting ability, nothing slices better than the thin full convex grind of an Opinel. Even dull.

 
For me, it would have to be the Spyderco Techno. It was originally purchased to hold me over until a couple other knives became available, but it ended up being the best true EDC knife I've owned to this point. I also really enjoyed the Dragonfly in SS several years ago. Again, it was purchased more or less on a whim, but remained in my pocket for a couple years.
