RJD posted a thread (http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=399339) a couple months ago that I really enjoyed. I thought I would offer my two favorites in reply, but I wanted to wait because I still had a couple knives coming and wanted to include them.
This is that reply.
After Jerry's stuff, my interests are currently very focused on Tom Krein's lineup (http://www.kreinknives.net/kk_products.htm). I think his work is exceptionally clean and well made.

He mostly works with D2, although some A2, 3V and S30V find their ways into his hands occasionally.
