I find myself adding to the what is your favorite knife that you own thread, and so, I thought I would create a top 5 list. Here are mine, in no particular order: 1. DMKnives Instigator 2. DMKnives Hawkbill 3. CRK large Sebbie 4. Rick Hinderer Firetac 5. Spyderco Calypso, Jr. ZDP 189 6. Fallkniven U2 7. Mission Knives & Tool MPF 1 8. Buck/Mayo TNT 9. (I do not know HOW I managed to forget THIS knife!!) Mission MPF 1 all titanium knife! 10)Combat Elite RRF.
I would love to include the 3 I have on order, but since I do not own them yet, I can not. What is on your list?
 
#1/#2 tie: Spyderco Paramilitary or Benchmade 41MC
#3 Benchmade D2 minigrip
#4 HI WW2 Khukuri
#5 CRKT M16 11K
#6 Spyderfly
#7 Buck 560C
#8 SAK Cybertool


Not sure about the rest....
 
My top 10 are mostly production because I dont own many customs. In no particular order: (1) Swat Tiger Balisong, (2)Benchmade Collver Bowie Balisong.(3) Benchmade Mel Pardue Rant Bowie,(4) Spyderco Endura, (5) Spyderco JAK Chinook II(just recieved it yesterday it is Awesome) (6 )Gerber Mark II,(7) Kershaw Ken Onion Outcast, (8) CRKT Hissatsu, (9)Shomer-Tec neck knife (10)Cold Steel Safekeeper II( The older Japanese production model)
Honorable mention-CRKT Kasper Folding Fighter(retired due to the Chinook)
 
Hmmm... Limiting my response to ten fixed blades in no particular order... damascus and carbon fiber Rinaldi TTKK (THE one shown on his website), Rob Simonich Custom Cetan in talonite, Mark Nevling "Burr Oak Knives" damascus bird and trout, PJ Tomes Throwing Bowie, Scott Cook large Owyhee hunter, Dunkerley hunter in stag, Wilbert (Wayne) Reynolds mammoth ivory damascus hunter, William (Bill) Sowell "Iron Horse Forge" mammoth ivory damascus hunter, Al Dippold necker, and... I can't decide... either a Bob Dogget filet knife, a Bob Dozier K13 whittler, or a Jimmy Lile knife (I don't remember model, but Danbo sold one just like it a few months back and it is a relatively small bird and trout type almost)...
 
In no particular order:

Sean O’Hare Silver Raven in S30V
