I am a Enthusiast. I like to purchase the must buy product in everything i am interested. They usually are the best bang for the buck and are classics. They are quality items and will last forever. An example are Guns. Beretta M9, Colt 1911, Glock 17, Ruger 10/22, Remington 700, Remington 870, etc...


What are the must buy production folders!!

1. BM 710hs
2. Spyderco Delica/Endura
3. Spyderco Police
4. Axis 806d2

........list them
 
Well, those on my list aren't necessarily "must-buy" items, but they are real classics:

BM AFCK
Spyderco Endura
Spyderco Military
CRK Sebenza
Buck 110
 
For me, these are must haves in addition to your list, however I would remove the Endura/Delica, since you have the police model on there and they are all the same version only diffrent sizes

5.Al Mar Sere 2000
6.BM 690
7.Delta Z Ospery
8.Microtech Socom Elite
9.CRK Sebenza
10.Mayo TNT
 
Al Mar SERE 2000 is a definate must have. The Camillus Cuda MAXX is another. The Spyderco Tim Wegner collab is also a good one and since it is discontinued you can find them a bit cheaper. Buck/Striders aren't bad knives to have either.
 
If autos are leagal for you to own, I have to recommend a MT LCC D/A. Built like a tank; quality and looks of a custom.

You have to have a Bob Dozier fixed blade as well. Best D2 blades out there, bar none.

I'll second the Al Mar SERE 2000. Another bank-vault folder.

You need at least one Benchmade Balisong Butterfly knife.

A Protech auto is a must also. Most any one will do.

Eventually you need to get a Microtech Out-The-Front auto, preferably a UT6.

I'm about half-way through this list, but won't stop 'til I'm done.:D

Almost forgot to add, Get a Sebenza!
 
Here would be my must buy list. Even if you buy them and decide later they are not for you, everyone should own one at some point. (in no particular order..)

  • Benchmade 710 (any variant)
  • Al Mar SERE 2000
  • Microtech LCC
  • Cold Steel Stiletto
  • GT Large Folder
  • SOG Titanium Vision
  • Spyderco Police
  • Spyderco Chinook
  • Benchmade AFCK - Axis/D2
  • Benchmade TSEK Axis
  • Microtech LUDT
  • Cold Steel Scimitar
  • Masters Of Defense Dieter CQD MKII
  • Large Classic Sebenza
  • A good quality neck knife
 
My top ten would be

Benchmade - 710HS
Benchmade - 806D2
Microtech - LCC
Microtech - SOCOM
Al Mar - Sere 2000
Kershaw - Boa
SOG - Night Vision
Emerson - Specwar
Camillus - E.D.C.
KaBar - Dozier Thorn
 
Best bang for the buckers(must haves for a cheapass like me!) IMO are....

2" blade:
Spyderco Mouse(can be bought waay cheaper than you'd think!)
Close runners up are Spyderco Navigator at $29.99(special price), and the SOG Sculptura at $24.99 everyday price!)


3" blade:
BM555/556, best (+-)3" blade knife for the $ to be found IMO.
I know one of you guys got one new for $47!!! You know who you are!:D


3.5" Blade:
BM94x... smoooooth doesn't do this knife justice, neither does pretty.(this is about as large a folder knife as I would care to carry though)

>3.5" blade:
Can't comment as I don't own any (IMO, these are too large for a folder)

Neck knife:
Timberline Mini-Pitbull
 
ALL "knife-nuts" should have (at least):

Spyderco Police (SS and G-10, in PE and SE)
Spyderco Delica (SS and FRN, in PE and SE)
SOG Seal 2000 and Tigershark
SOG PowerLock and CrossCut
Cold Steel Tanto

Darrel Ralph Static 3" S30V Dagger w/ titanium handle
Spyderco Civilian carbon fiber handle
Spyderco Civilian G10 handle
Spyderco Spyderhawk
Spyderco Merlin ss handle
Spyderco Renegade (serrated) I haven't seen one up close but it looks like it might give the AFCK a run for it's money.
Kershaw Boa black (serrated) The only design flaw is the useless removable plastic lock.
Colt Cobra (plain)It has nice tight tolerances but the blade could be improved.
Benchmade Osborne full size (serrated) Black blade/Green handle
MicroTech Hawk "old model" (plain) stonewash
Ka-Bar Hawk Bill gray handle

I think the new Mouse II in g-10 and s30v should make this list......whoa momma what a nice little knife!!!:eek:
