Please rate your top 5 folders! You have to own them right now. And you have to rate them in the right order! I know it´s hard, but give it a try!
Here is my top 5 folder list.
1. Benchmade Nitrous Stryker P.E (removed the a.o)
2. Benchmade Nitrous Stryker Mini P.E (removed the a.o)
3. Benchmade 710 D2
4. Benchmade 707
5. Leatherman e33b
(6. Benchmade 556 Mini Griptilian)
 
1. darrel ralph mod 10
2. crk insigno
3. emerson 1911
4. todd begg civilian
5. cold steel al (wtf?)
 
owning them right now is tough, and in order is also tough.

I'm going to have to crap out on this one and say

Alphabetical order: GPS small Lahar (TNK Edition), Mayo Medium Flat TNT, Mayo Damascus Small Modified Wharny, and Prototype Umnumzaan, Scott Cook Lochsa

Hmmm... that´s just 4 folders and not the correct order... and we don´t know if you own all of them right now... do it again and do it right! :)

Rating the top 5 in any order is not possible as they all fill different roles, but narrowing 5 out of 300 knives is impressive to me (CRKT Crawford Kasper- first knife the wife ever gave me, Ellishewitz Kaiser in G10/Micarta/Carbon Fiber/ Damasteel and titanium- epitome of modern knives, FrankenLeek- Composite blade on red smoked handle, Boye Dendritic- not a steel & the marlinspike makes it a great tool, Damascus Case Stockman- choice of blades and a great looking knife for knife unfriendly environments even if it has some F&F issues)
this is what I'd keep if I had to get rid of all others, however there are 2 more to add:

I can't list them in order... just not possible. But here goes:

If I had to choose just one all time favorite folder, it would have to be the Buck 110.

Now if the question was what knives do I most frequently carry, it would be these five:

Not in order... can't decide my favorite, just top 5 favorites...

Spyderco Delica G10, full flat ground blade
Spyderco Calypso Jr. with VG-10 steel and FRN handle (I also like the Aus 8 with micarta handle version I own)
Spyderco Delica
Spyderco Salt serrated
Spyderco Endura Stainless Steel handle, fully serrated (old model)

I had to include the older Endura (Aus 6 steel), because of the smooth action and the absolutely tight lock up, in the knife I own.

It's funny, I just realised that all the knives I listed are A. Spyderco's and B. lock backs.
 
1. Buck/TOPS CSAR-T (Unbelievably Strong)
2. HK Benchmade 14200
3. Buck Dorato 154 with Rosewood (Great as an EDC)
4. ZT 301 (Strong but not as strong as the CSAR)
5. Cold Steel Rajah III
 
Subject to hourly change:

1) Stretch 2
2) G10 Endura 4
3) Cold Steel Recon 1 (2010)
4) Military
5) Delica 4 FFG

Here's 3 of them:
