I thought this would be interesting. In four categories, (folder, small fixed blade, all-around fixed, and chopper) which knives do you PERSONALLY compare all other knives? These four will be the standard bearers for you. For me:
Folder - Paramilitary 2: This knife is my go-to blade. It goes out of my pocket at times and I carry other knives, but I always come back to the PM2, and it is the folder I find most useful and trustworthy. Plus, it is fun to play with...
Small Fixed - Spyderco Street Beat: I cant imagine a better designed small fixed blade. It is light, easily carried, the ergos are superb, and the steel is good. I have been through many small fixed blades, but this one stays with me when others don't.
All-Around fixed: Dark Timber Honey Badger: If you have used one, you know. 3V steel, handle melts into your hand. Gorgeous lines. If I could only have one knife, this would be it.
Chopper: BK9. I don't do a ton of chopping, and I am sure there are better choppers out there, but I like the versatility of the BK9, and it is inexpensive enough I don't worry about it. It feels great in hand, Becker does a nice 1095, and it can really chop for its size.
