Tried and true favorites.

The folders I've used extensively, that have never let me down:

1. Spyderco Military
2. Camillus EDC
2. Victorinox SAK Huntsman
3. Old Timer Middleman
 
Benchmade Mini AFCK.
Benchmade Mini Stryker.
Spyderco Military.
Microtech Mini Socom. Incredible knives with lasting durability.
 
Benchmade/Boguszewski 640 mini spike plain edge. Carried it for 5 years before I retired it.
 
Buck 110 and Spyderco Endura/Delica. Both are extremely reliable, extremely strong, and are very affordable.
 
Benchmade Mini-AFCK (ATS34)
Benchmade AFCK (154CM)
Schrade Stockman (carbon steel)

I think it might be better for us to list the folders that HAVE let us down....

Take it easy,

When I really worry about reliability, my folder choices have been:

Buck 112 and 301
Gerber Folding Sportsman
Old Timer 8-OT
SAK Explorer
CRKT M-16

Never really had a knife "let me down", unless it was my fault, though ;)

Schrase Walden Stockman

2. Cold Steel 4" Sheep Foot Land & Sea Rescue.

In fact I just replaced my 110 while here in Kuwait. It has to be the knife I've been able to keep sharper longer than any knife I've ever owned.:D
