I was thinking one day what it would be like to get one production knife from each of the manufacturers and have it be THE DEFINING KNIFE of that manufacturer. Sure, many knives have many purposes, so it's sort of a wierd thought; the scope would be way too large to interpret. So, maybe it could be limited to medium to large size folders for starters.
For me, the MT CT II or Nemesis is a defining knife for Microtech. For Spyderco, it's the Military. For Camillus, it's the Cuda Maxx or the EDC, for MOD, it's the large Dieter combat folder, for BenchMade, it's the AFCK, for Strider, the AR.
Being relatively new to knives makes me wonder what some of the more experienced folks think. Some may have handled out of production models that, for them, was the best design that a particular manufacturer ever came out with. This might wind up being a decent list for new knife enthusiasts entering the fray who'd like pointers to some nice folding steel right out of the starting gate.
