- Swiss army knife
- British army knife
- German working knife
- Scandinavian outdoor knife
- French farmer/gardener knife
3. Laguiole

To uplift the European economy:
1. Fällkniven F1
2. Fällkniven PXL
3. Extrema Ratio Col Moshin
4. Extrema Ratio Venom
5. Victorinox Huntsman
For our Russian friends: Kizlyar Sh-5
It's interesting to see how often the Buck 110 comes up. I got my first one many years ago, and the quality and heft seemed incredible.
But in today's market, it seems too heavy and too cumbersome to carry and open. Obviously, most people feel differently, but it was the advent of the one-handed, pocket-clip knife that got me really interested in knives.
I can certainly see how the 110 is a legitimate classic. But for a knife I'd actually want to carry and use on a regular basis, it wouldn't make the top 200.
