No this isn't a "what is the perfect knife for..." thread. Breathe a sigh of relief. :D

What I'm interested in is which knives (production, custom, folders, fixed) have perfect fit and finish. In other words, you can't find a single thing wrong with the manufacturing of the knife. This has nothing to do with whether the knife is right for you or even whether you like it. Just which ones have perfect F&F.

In my experience the most perfect Knife is the Victorinox, I'll say that, even tho I have many special use knives. (I try not to be biased.):D
 
I thought I was going to get raked over the coals for saying Victorinox. Glad to see others agree with me. And funny thing is, they are one of the cheapest out there too. Gotta love the Swiss work ethic. :thumbup:

my XM-18 and Umnumzaan are close, but I would never say they're flawless in terms of fit and finish. I think CRK is the closest you'll get in a production knife.

The only problem I have with Victorinox is they created unrealistic expectations for me toward all mechanical devices at a young, impressionable age! I still kind of expect knives to be perfect, since I could get such a perfect, affordable knife as a kid.

Probably you have been luckier than most, my advice is to stick with perfection. Dang, wish I could!! LOL!;)
 
I have so many custom knives from many different makers. I don't want to list them, as I do not want to leave someone out.
 
I have had two, other that the Victorinox. Swamp Rat Knife Works Satin Battle Rat was perfect, no flash, sharpened evenly, Perfect. The other was a Grohmann #1
