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.

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