What knife brands do you like? Are there any that have never made a bad knife in your opinion?

Please keep it to mass production brands, no limited-run or custom knifemakers.

Gerber, SOG, Cold Steel, Buck, CRKT, Kershaw, Victorinox, Opinel, etc.
 
Spyderco, ZT/Kershaw, Emerson, Benchmade, Case, ESEE, Strider, Hinderer, Chris Reeve, Cold Steel, Busse, Scrapyard Knives

Nope. No one is perfect, and even the best companies put out some stinkers at times. But overall, I find these companies make great products: Kershaw, Spyderco, Fallkniven, Cold Steel, Victorinox, Opinel.
 
I think kershaw makes good products for low prices and I think spyderco makes great products for medium prices (imo)
 
I think every manufacturer has at least one good knife and a couple of steamers besides...
 
Spyderco, Benchmade, ZT and Great Eastern Cutlery. are my favorites.
 
Spyderco, Kershaw, Al Mar, EK, Case and Great Eastern Cutlery, are my favorites but i like lots of others too.
 
I've only used Kershaw and Benchmade so far. I like them both, though Benchmade, as I'm sure everyone knows, is a bit pricey. I only have a mini ambush, part of their redline.
 
No Gerber fans? I mean, I know they've made some low-end junk, but they've also made some durable and reliable blades too, haven't they? I love my LMF II, MK II, and FAST folders.

I have a couple of SOG blades, one I haven't really used and one that chipped the first time I used it... not too sure about them...

My first Cold Steel blade arrives tomorrow (Rajah II), but I hear mixed reviews about CS.

My Victorinox SwissChamp has survived nearly 20 years of my abuse and is still in one piece (still relativrly sharp too).
 
emerson, spyderco, cold steel ( the ones ive owned anyway), sog, case, schrade

Define "bad knife".

There isn't any company that hasn't made a model that I don't like.

There isn't any company that hasn't made at least one model that I do like.

There isn't any company that has made a model that nobody likes.
