What are your Top 5 Knife Brands?

My top 5 brand of knives...

Spyderco for sure because it's the first knife I purchased a and got me hooked on folders. Big spidie fan.

CRK-I really love the quality and care that goes into them.

Shirogorov- only ever held one example of their brand of knives but it made its mark. My EDC for 7-8 months now.

Victorionox SAK- I've had either an Alox farmer/pioneer/electrician in my pocket daily for 2+ years now. We'll made, inexpensive and handy to have.

Hinderer knives- the first big money folder I bought. They make great knives and don't seem to be slowing down one bit.

I was thinking of ZT but I think they try too hard and they don't have the same something the above brands do. And I've only owned one so that's that.

Top 5 brands I'd like to check out next..

Benchmade- have never owned one but would like to try out the axis lock.

Rockstead- super sexy sharp

Three more to follow when I think of em'.

Case/Bose collaboration 2016


2 more..

Well I don't have brands but custom makers that I'd like to own work by.

In terms of ownership, I own more Victorinox and Condor blades than any other manufacturer. GEC made comes in third I would guess.
 
Beautiful collection Dddrees. I have a lot of knives but definitely gravitate toward the higher end ones. I mentioned Benchmade and Al Mar in my list. To elaborate on that, there are select models I like.

Cold Steel
Spyderco
CRKT
Victorinox
Leatherman

and if only knife companies, I'd swap Victorinox and LM for KaBar and Ontario

Thank you sir and you have a nice collection as well. I really like that William Henry and that CRK looks really nice as well.
 
I will list only those I can afford and have experience with:
Buck
Victorinox
Mora
Tramontina
Bark River

All are good quality and only the Bark River is somewhat expensive.;)
 
No particular order however Shirogorov is my favorite right now.

Shirogorov
Sergey Rogovets
Ray Laconico
Olamic
Sinkevich
 
Spyderco, Benchmade, Chris Reeve, Cold Steel, GEC

Plenty other great brands but models from these guys speak to me.
