What are the Icons of bladedom?

[Cougar Allen]

This reminds me of an old thread -- from back in 1999, but icons endure ... The "Real" Knives

Today the biggest icons of bladedom are probably light sabres. No one has ever owned a real one but most people could identify it if they ever should see one.

There are many!

Any Case knife.

Camillus Yello Back now sadly gone:thumbdn:

The Opinel.

Bark River as the modern benchmark of quality at affordable price(they also don't make ugly or ridiculous knives either)

I like every thing I heard,(Buck 110, Spyderco Endura/Delica, Leathermans, K-Bars, Swiss Army Knife)
I add a...
A Cold Steel Tanto (they are ONE of the the ones who started the craze) Fairrbarn Sykes Dagger
Benchmade Butterfly Knives
Standard Issue Piolt Surivial Knife(Ontario or Camulis)

Buck 110:

For the knife model itself (a stand alone for it's era and the design path it created) ... for the notorious murder (if I recall correctly)... the Beatle's tie-in and the ensuing book...

Any FOLDER is called a switchblade by the general population I've talked with
