Strider SMF Lego in anything but S30V

Hinderer XM-18 3.5

Jeremy Robertson El Patron Gen2 3V


Honourable mention:

Anything by Andy Fitz, but in particular the Angel Wing.
 
Without question, the number 1 spot goes to the Shirogorov Model 95. For me, it's the perfect folder. I have the 95T, with the cool tortoiseshell texturing and a glossy stone-washed finish, and the regular 95 'Smooth', with the ceramic bead-blasted matte finish. Both run on freakishly smooth SRBS bearings...

The Sebenza is a common enough choice; the Slysz Bowie is a Spyderco model that quickly became an all-time personal favorite... at least until the Nirvana finally arrives. With its 3-D contoured Titanium handle and beautifully stone-washed, modified Bowie blade, the Slysz comes closer to a mid-tech Tom Mayo TNT than you're ever likely to find.

I carry my knives mostly as last-resort tools for emergencies and self-defense, since I'm living in a land where only cops carry guns in public. But I also use them for whatever unforeseen cutting chores come up. I don't expect them to do any prying tasks, so I prefer a full flat grind or high hollow grind -- the obvious choice for deep slicing, IMO.

01] Shirogorov - Model 95 (95 'Nudist'/95T 'Tortoiseshell')
02] CRK - Sebenza 25
03] Spyderco - Marcin Slysz Bowie

I'd have to go with my most carried three even though I may think I favor others. All three have narrow profiles, 3" blades and I've had them for about two years now.

  • Fantoni HB02
 
#1 flip flops from my spyder edged endura 4 to my manix 2 LW in BD-1. I'm stuck on the manix at the moment

2 & 3 are pretty even with my ladybugs and victorinox compacts

I've actually narrowed my collection down to pretty much variations of those and a few slip joints including other Vic's

I like plastic handled knives:rolleyes:
 
1) Large Sebenza 21 with Micarta Inlays
2) Startac Umnumzaan
3) Les George Talos Morph Pattern

#2 and #3 are interchangeable depending on my mood on a given day. I just happened to be feeling Zaan-y today.
