Top 10 (Production) Folders

Victorinos Swisschamp
Spyderco Endura 4
Spydercp Dragonfly
Buck 110
CRK Sebenza
BM Ritter Grip
BM 710
Emerson CQC-11
BM/ Emerson 975
Strider SMF

All used, sharpened and used again for years.
 
I've cut my collection down to almost nothing with only 4 modern folders left. Was up to 25 or so at one time. Still have 50+ slippies though.
-Buck 110
-Case swayback jack
-Case peanut
-Case mini-copperlock
-Sebenza
-SnG
-Natibe 5
-Dragonfly

We are talking in general right, not only about what is produced today?
So then the knives that made my list are:

Benchmade 805
Spyderco PM 2
Spyderco Lum Chinese Folder
Kershaw Boa
Emerson CQC 8
Benchmade 707
Spyderco Delica
Benchmade 943
Bechmade 800
That would be it I guess. Only one knife short of 10! I thought I would have less.

Oh wait, I think Cold Steel Talwar is pretty awesome, even though not quite in the same class due to the blade steel: I do not really like AUS 8... But the knife IS pretty nice all the same!

1. Socom delta. Recently got one and im in love with fit and finish, hkw smooth it is and its cpm d2 is fantastic.
2. Spyderco military. Still my favorite knife, just now enjoying the socom more.
3. Manix 2 lightweight s110v. Best value knife, top 3 stainless steel for under $110, better believe it
4. Microtech select fire ma. Love the shape of the blade, like a lil butcher knife in a folder. Best s35vn I've tried too.
5. Spyderco domino. Great edc flipper and cts xhp is becoming my top 5 favorite steel.
6. Spyderco southard. Perfection in a medium package. Great steel, super smooth flipper anf a pleasure to use.
7. My 3 kizer knives. I have 1 prototype and 2 production and they are a fantastic deal for tne price.
8. Benchmade 550 hg griptilian. After some tlc its such a smooth knife, great value, great cutter and it has an axis lock.
9. Spyderco sentofante 3. My first "good" knife that I got. Excellent edc, ground super thin, .3mm behind the grind, super cutter for $50.
10. Spyderco para 2. Yeah its this low, actually was gonna put my benchmade 755 mpr here but para2 is a good edc knife. Mine came pretty jacked from the factory so that why im giving it a lower score. Id love to get a m390, s90v or cts xhp sprint, then im guessing it would go up quite a bit.
 
I dont own all of these, but this is my list based on what I have seen most people rave about. (in no particular order)
This list excludes striders and emersons because I have very little experience with them, so I will focus on more widely popular folders

PM2 (any version)
Sabenza (any version)
Sage (any version)
Delica 4 ffg
BM 710
Military (any version)
Southard or Gayle Bradley (cant decide, both are raved about)
Spyderco Manix 2 (any version, but particularly the s110v version)
BM mini grip (any version)
BM 940 (any version)
