What are the the three knives that are the best of your best, favorite of the favorites, grails of all grails, holy of the holiest, you get the point!
What is it that makes these 3 knives the trinity of your collection? What seperates them from the rest? All knives welcome of course from all the different styles, modern, traditional, fixed, whatever makes up your trinity!
Pic’s preferred of course!
My trinity:
Emerson Roadhouse - I’m sure some are shocked Les wasn’t first but the roadhouse was the first knife I absolutely fell in love with. It stood apart from my benchmades and spydercos because it didn’t feel like a pocket knife but rather a weapon or tool ready for anything thrown at it. The handle is excellent in hand and to this day it’s slightly bellied tanto is absolutely my favorite blade shape ever.
Hinderer xm18 - this was a tough one between it and the sebbie. While the sebbie is a thing of beauty the hinderer wins out on the incredible ergonomics of the handle (possibly my favorite), and it seems virtually indestructible. The action on it is excellent and is just one of the best built knives I have ever handled.
Les George Mk3 - saving the best for last of course. This knife has quickly become my all time favorite knife to carry, use and just play with. It is a big knife (3.75”) but is just barely over 3/8” thick and barely over 5g so it carries excellent in the pocket which I really appreciate. The handle just melts into the hand with no hotspots at all. The blade is a beautiful dagger that I love and again feels like a weapon rather than a pocket knife. What sets it apart from the rest is the action of not just the pivot but also the frame lock. It just performs everything flawlessly with no effort.
Honorable mention - the Talos
