Queen/Schatt and Morgan, Case Tony Bose CV, Great Eastern/Northfield UNXLD/Tidioute, Canal Street. All are great using knives. I really like Queen products, yes, the edges can be hit or miss but they are working on that. GEC has really moved away from the bear trap springs and their patterns don't seem to me, anyway, to be on steroids anymore. The regular CV/SS and TB SS lines from Case are not bad, but not in the same category as the aforementioned brands. The Case Tony Bose patterns I've had or seen, with CV blades, strange as it may seem, have better fit and finish. I've only owned the canittler forum knife, and another Canal Street, a trapper I believe. I wish I would've kept them, as they were well made knives. There are many many other brands out there that can be found at flea markets, junk shops etc. Colonial has some American made knives currently, I believe, or read in Blade. More Vic SAKs never hurt anyone. I've had a great time acquiring and learning more about olderbrands. Buck always produces a great knife, and their 301 comes in several varieties.
The 15 pattern from Great Eastern is my new favorite. Barlow, jack.
