What are your favorite knives in your collection?

[recon1s14]

Haha just read a thread about what knives every collection should be complete with, and the OP mentioned it not being a "What are your favorite..." thread.

I thought it would be a good chance to see what your favorite knives are that are in your collection, I'm not talking the most used, or the most popular, but what knives in your collection do you own that just resonate with you as being "your favorite knife" everyone has a couple, mine would be my:

-Spyderco Manix 2 LW Blue:


-Opinel #8 Inox steel:


-Spyderco Dragonfly Gen. 2:


-Camillus 51B barlow:


These ones won't budge from my collection and are the most memorable to me, they all function perfectly as my EDC's and represent my favorites out of anything I've owned, I've also used/carried these the most and are the few I "won't" ever trade or sell Tell me what your favorites are!

I'm sure there are many other high-end, or maybe just simple knives out there that would take place as favorite in anybodies collection, these just happen to be mine.

Pics are always welcome!

Picking my favorite folder is easy.

A custom version of Bob Dozier's Folding Hunter.

Picking a favorite fixed blade is not so easy.

Here is just a couple favourites. The military is reground to 0.011 and the zdp endura to zero scandi.




I really like thin edge geometry, so I might have to do some more grinding. I ground the military with a pretty fresh 50 grit ceramic belt for a kind of rough finish to show the grind lines. The endura was finished with a 80 grit, then a cork belt to blend the grind lines.
