Do you really dig a blade that nobody else seems to care much for? If so, what knife is it? I think the Benchmade Kulgera is underrated.
 
No. Because the moment I speak of it more people will be on the bay bidding on it haha.
 
Benchmade 520 Presidio. It's probably my favorite knife that I own. People tend to stay away from it for EDC because it's a big stout workhorse of a knife (around 5.5 oz). Oh, and it's a notorious devourer of pockets.
 
520/525 fan here too-----not sure why they don't get more love------I have all sorts of variants of each including an auto version of the 520

How about the Utilitac II? It's a well designed, reasonably priced workhorse.
 
This thing is pretty sweet. It's much tougher than I thought it would be.

My Brad Southard mid-tech AVO. It's perfect for me, but I don't see much written about it. I don't care.
 
Cold Steel Hold Out series. They slice very, very well, lightweight, tough, good steel and quite affordable. not a lot of talk about them, but they're real performers.

The Hold Out 2 is a good EDC and a favorite of mine. The 3 has the worst clip in knife history. The 1 is...well...a mega folder.
 
Kershaw Cyclone, either size. Nice ergonomics, decent heat treat for that 8crMo16V42xc3Al5T whatever it is, steel.

Well, remembering the price of some of the special editions for auction, maybe it's not so underrated.

CRKT Folding Razel. Also good ergos. A big, chunky knife for times when that's more important than easy pocket carry.
 
Benchmade 477-1. I friggin love this knife, but hear almost nothing about it....especially on the BM forum.
Hogue EX-04.
BM 943.

I have a lot of love for - and rarely see much talk of - the Cold Steel Tuff Lite. If you like the folding utility razor knife blade shape but don't like the blocky handles and thin chippy blades, then the Tuff Lite is incredible. Super ergonomic, tough, easy to hone and sharpen, and inexpensive.

I also don't see much talk about the ProTech TR.4 series, but both the manual and auto versions are amazing examples of a US-Made knife with a level of quality far beyond the street price.

Lastly, the Sog Access Card 2.0 is a very lightweight and utilitarian knife that carries well and is very useful. I don't think I've -ever- seen it mentioned here, actually...
 
The Benchmade 913 Stryker is in my list of top few favorites.

I like the Benchmade 890 Torrent because of its sculpted/smooth G10. It is my ultimate gentleman's knife.
