This post is obviously inspired by the "family" of YouTube videos started by JohnWayneColt45. In those videos, YT knife people shared their 6 favorite knives, divided in the following categories:
- Favorite all time
- Favorite EDC
- Favorite tactical
- Favorite small folder or secondary
- Favorite fixed blade
- Favorite safe queen
Well, that was an exceptional idea and I spent a long time watching those videos. But some people don't feel like posting videos, or some don't have tactical knives or safe queens and some others aren't really into fixed blades.
What I propose we do here is: list your favorite 6 knives in any categories you can imagine, or even no categories at all. Pictures are always enjoyable and a little description on why that particular knife is one of your favorites would also be great.
Well, here are my 6 favorite knives:
1) All time favorite
It has to be the Umnumzaan. Great build and finish, feels awesome in the hand and cuts like a light saber. Plus, it has some je ne sais quoi that I believe makes it the best folding knife ever built.
2) Favorite EDC
It's the Sebenza! More of a beater knife than the imposing Umnumzaan, this knife is light, fits great in my pocket but it's also solidly built.
3) Favorite tank
The Strider SMF. Throw an SMF against a brick wall repeatedly and in the end I believe there will be no more wall.
4) My latest purchase
The XM-18 was my latest purchase and I still have to use it hard. But according to general reports, I believe it will be alright.
5) Favorite "classy" knife
The Benchmade 940 is small, classy and fits perfect in those situations where a more rugged knife would cause alarm. So, at work or in more formal settings, it is always in my pocket.
6) My first good knife
I had been playing with knives before, but the Benchmade 907D2 was my first quality knife. I overpayed handsomely for it since I didn't know any better, but I love it because it showed me the huge difference between good and bad. It opened the doors to this wonderful thing of ours.
