OT - Folders - Favorites, pics?

[MajorD]

I don't remember us ever doing a folding knife thread. I've been on a bit of a folder kick lately. A folding knife will always be just supplemental to my fixed blades but I do appreciate a good folder. What do you use, EDC or collect? Here are a few of my favorites.

A Benchmade Griptilian with Applied Weapons Technology scales and a Protech Tactical Response

My grail folder to date. I recently picked up this Les George Talos. Fogdart kindly hooked me up with this beast.

Seems rude not to include a fiddleback along with:

For modern folders I'm a Spyderco guy. They're the local team and I like being able to go out to the factory and talk shop with the folk there. I used to have quite a collection, especially of carbon fiber, but have sold off most of them in order to buy Fiddlebacks. I have kept a handful of my favorites, include the Sage 1 which I've decided is the perfect folder (for me).

For traditionals, I have a few GEC Northfield and Tidioute

Spydercos: Sage1, Caly3 Super Blue, 2013 Forum Native5, Tenacious (the designated box cutter), Balance.
GEC: #56 Dogleg jack in Primitive Bone, #62 Courthouse Whittler in Burnt Stag, #25 Jack in Burnt Stag, #47 Viper in OD Linen, #78 American Jack in African Blackwood.

Nice Laguiole! It might be my favorite traditional pattern...

Wow the Sebenzas in this thread are nice. Well, all Sebenzas are nice. I am extremely happy with my Les George but a Sebenza is a definite must have some day. More Fiddlebacks first though.
