Wow! Very nice, very nice!

Good morning AntDog. Good to see you on here. I'm in the shop today and have tons of work so I hope I don't get tied up here. LOL

Your post made me realize I didn't really answer the OP's question. I made a recommendation but didn't list my top 5.

I usually carry 3 to 5 knives everyday so a top 5 is tough. Here goes.

1. Chris Reeve Small Sebenza with Snakewood Inlays
2. ZTO350 in the pic (My custom scale and blade mods)
3. Spyderco Manix II with Ghost Jade G10 scales
4. Case Peanut in Blue Jigged Bone
5. Survive Necker in a Hale Storm Custom Kydex sheath
 
Leatherman Charge TTi
Kershaw Seleect Fire
Victorinox Explorer
Leatherman E55b
Benchmade 551
 
Not including the CRKT K455TXP Eros that resides permanently in the coin compartment of my wallet and the Leatherman Micra I keep clipped to my pants pocket:

Small Carbon Fiber Sebenza
Spyderco Southard with Ivory Snake Juma scale
William Henry B7-FT
Benchmade M4 Mini-Griptilian

A Gerber Convert has barely left my pocket also since a i got it(never thought i'd be carrying a Gerber but this is a great auto especially for the price)

I carry 3 knives daily usually cause I'm gutton for punishment and a certafiable knifknut at this point and like to use a different knife for different things during the day.
 
Funny because I have exactly 5 production knives that I rotate. Here is my list of preference, of course what I'll do in the day ultimately dictates what I carry.

1. Boker Plus Federal - Love the design, the way it carries and how it flips. The most fun knife I have, a bit too bug and heavy but I don't mind since I like it so much.
2. Lionsteel sr2-a - Very close to the first. Light, perfectly well built and I love the integral handle. Unique knife but around my preferred blade length.
3. Enzo birk 75 - Very smooth and a blade that is not as tall. Like the carbon fiber laminate and the scandi grind for some tasks. Blade could be a bit more rust resistant.
4. Crkt aluminum ripple - Carry it when I want a lightweight knife to flip. Great flipper on ikbs
5. Byrd robyn frn - Cheap and durable, I carry it to do more "dirty" tasks.
 
I have thinned my collection to the point that 5 production folders is what I have left. In no particular order they are:

-Southern Grind Bad Monkey
-Benchmade 940-1
-Lionsteel SR2a
-Fantoni Rumini Hide
-Kizer 401T
