What is your favorite folder and why??

Small Sebenza 21, haven't bought a folder since I got it. I just can't find anything I'd rather pocket, and I scan threads on BF daily.

As to why it is my favourite, I wouldn't bother. Everyone on here have heard of this CRK and it's features. If you are turned on by the looks of a CRK then it's a nobrainer.

My favorite knife. Pleasure to carry, pleasure to use.
 
I have 3 different levels of my favorite folder:

Level 1 is actually my favorite but I would never use this folder because it is too expensive and rare.

Level 2 is the folders I carry but would never put to hard use. Just for light cutting and then touch up sharpening.

Level 3 are the folders I USE THE MOST. These are the folders that I beat the crap out of and reach for for almost every job.

So my level 1 is my favorite but would never consider using.. Just admiring and fondling.
 
I gotta agree with the spiderco military even though I think it is kinda ugly.
the benchmade Stryker and the crk are close seconds though.
 
Good way to put it mate, I find I follow the same pattern

Let's see, if I base my favorite opinion upon what I NOW carry the most, it would have to be my Benchmade 531. If it is based upon the last 3-4 years, it would have to be the US made Kershaw Zing.

What are we supposed to base our opinion on?
 
CRK small Inkosi with carbon fiber inlays. Perfect EDC size, built like a tank, love the looks, CF gives it a little extra flair. With me everyday.

Good system. I guess I wouldn't be that different. I'm new to folders and haven't amassed much but when it comes to beaters, I have a folder I like carrying around. It has more belly than my SAK, and easier to sharpen. Don't ask me what steel, not very good is the answer but lol.. it works.

An elk ridge (Master cutlery, I think) 2 1/2 incher, ER-134RB

Not very scary. Some sort of mystery steel. Cost about AUD$30, I realise this would probably cost you guys like 10 bucks in America. Yes, it's a crappy folder, but if I lose it? What they hey.... lol.

This is my first folder since the SAK, as I found I needed something that would cut cord, tubing and fabric faster and more easily than the SAK. I can't carry my fixed blades to work. So I started looking at folders and found this place!

It'll die in time, no doubt, I can sense the beginnings of lateral play already. I bought a PM2 with the intention of replacing that. Just got it today, actually, loving it. Nice FFG, good ergos. The only thing I'm not sure is if people will get scared by it. But surely, it looks like a bird not a Ka-bar. It'll be fine won't it? I'll see, maybe a delica would be better, but I thought I'd go for thicker blade stock.

The ones I really would like to carry because of coolness but wouldn't want to dull and as such do not carry, sigh, are my 2 Kershaw Emersons (6k, 4kXL). Beautiful and affordable knives these, only cons are the build quaility and steel could be better (it's ok though) and they are likely to scare people. So not a realistic frequent use carry option.

That, gentlemen, is my whole folder collection, believe it or not. Now I have a whole drawer of Ka-bars, bowies and tantos and other things but that's another story!
 
I like most the knife I use most...
At the moment it is a small inkosi

In the past years I may have said ZT0350 or PM2 but at this time I was using my knives at more demanding tasks
Now that I mainly work in an office I prefer smaller blades and I this category my inkosi has slowly replaced my Delica 4 and my mini Griptilian

When I need to carry a knife that may take some damages in use I switch them inkosi for something else but it is the knife I have with me most at the moment
 
That's ok TKC!! That knife is pretty enough to be posted twice!!
👍👍

​Ooooopsie, it sure is. I had forgotten that I had already posted that. I have a horrible memory, seriously.

I thought I had seen that fairly recently, but since my memory is probably worse than yours........, uhh, I forgot.:)
 
My Benchmade crooked river. It's beautiful, my preferred 4" blade length, slices well, and stout enough to stand up to a bit of hard use. I love it.
 
Benchmade AFCK!

Of all the AFCK variants the 806BK-901 would be my favorite.
