What do you think are the most classic modern folders of our time?

AKA, must haves. For me it would be the Benchmade Griptilian 556, Spyderco Delica 4, and Kershaw Leek.

Id like to add Benchmade 710

I might get hate mail over it, but I always liked the Gerber Applegate folders. It was a good work horse when I was in the service, and I never felt guilty about using it. Might not be exotic, but a classic workhorse and good carry for me.

Define "our time".
"My time" during which I have been aware of knife styles runs from the 1960's through current.

In my time, the game changer has been the Buck 110.

Griptilian, Delica/Endura, Sebenza (not necessarily in that order).

Define "our time".

"Modern" is certainly a relative term:

When it comes to homes, I think of "modern" in terms of the past 100 years.
When it comes to watches, I think of "modern" in terms of the past 20 years.
When it comes to knives, I think of "modern" in terms of the past 10 years.
When it comes to computers, I think of "modern" in terms of the past 2 years.
When it comes to cell phones, I think of "modern" in terms of the past 1 year.
When it comes to BF posts, I think of "modern" in terms of today!
