Must not have bought one in a while, Emerson Knives' fit and finish has gotten noticeably better.

agreed...ive bought 3 2014 made Emersons recently, handled a few more, and aside from my Traveler being slightly off center when the pivot it tightened where I like it, they have all been excellent well made knives. no F&F issues
 
Besides the ones I listed above, the first knife that got me into quality folders.

Cold Steel large Shinobu. I picked it up at a pawn shop for 10 bucks, and it ended up being worth 15X that. That got me interested of course, but it was also the best knife I had handled. I wish they made them like that still. I'd put it up against their triad models any day.
 
the FFK folder, I know very few were made, but I REALLY had my heart set on getting one :D
 
I'd love to see the return of the Benchmade Fixed Presidio with the spine serrations. It was my very first "real" fixed blade. I gave mine to my best friend and fellow Marine when I changed duty stations and always wanted another one.
 
Kershaw Mini-Cyclone.

I was still a "tactifool" when the Cyclone line was disco'ed....

Is the ZT0620 already discontinued? It just came out and some people haven't even received their pre-orders yet. ZT's website says it's "not gone for good"
 
Another vote for Umfaan, and all regular sebbies. Of course, I might not enjoy the as much if they were easy to find. Or less expensive.

Oh,..You would enjoy them even more if they were easy to find, but ESPECIALLY because they were less expensive..Kinda wished someone kicked me in the jimmy years ago with this revelation..Now, it will cost me many more benjamins to access these..Too bad too, because I have a limit on how much I will spend..Right now, most of these are well beyond my self imposed limits.

I hear that. I was haggling with a guy that was willing to part with a small mammoth/damascus annual earlier today, until I found out that his bottom dollar was about $400 more than I was comfortable with. Shoulda bought one years ago, haha.

Kershaw Ram in every variation possible. Especially with some of the new steels. And if I could really wave a magic wand.. a ZT version would be fantastic.

Even just the basic RAM is incredible. I actually just picked one up recently, and I don't get how it got discontinued. It's a USA made knife with 14C28N, great ergos, a really great flipper, and what is essentially a variation of the axis lock that retailed for around $60. At that price, it's directly competing with knives like the Delica and Mini-Griptilian, which in my opinion it absolutely crushes.
