any suggestions on a good mid to high end folder knife that will compliment my fixed blade collection or a high end neck knife. (glock81,kabar usmc, Gerber mk2, Randall model 1, fallkniven f1)
 
Those are all somewhat classic combat knives. I would think a ZT 0350 or 0301 would make a good fit, concept-wise.
 
High end neck knife? I am waiting on a custom Groniger 2.5 Utility Slim in S90V (maybe S110V non-cryo, high temper 62-63 RC). 3/16th stock, FFG with 20 dps edge bevels (high flat shown below). High wear resistance owing to the choice of steel and acceptable toughness due to the thickness of the steel and geometry of the grinds.

Already got a Swiss on my keychain lol they're dope. But I was looking at ZT for a while they have good stuff, any other good brands that's like a level down from custom knives ? I know hindered , strider CRK, and Medford also are some ones I've been looking at.
 
If you carry a fixed blade regularly, I think a smallish traditional knife for smallish tasks and when the fixed blade just would not seem appropriate to pull out to use. Examples are the GEC #14 Boys Knife or GEC #48 Weasel or Improved Trapper.

On the modern side, I am quite fond of the ZT 0770 CF which is an AO knife. Classy and efficient. Many of the Spyderco knives would work too. I like the Native a lot as well as other models.
 
I would go a bit of a different route. I would grab something smallish. Something like the zt 0450, it still has plenty of blade for your edc tasks, looks good, flips great and its USA made if that matters to you.
