Small classic Sebenza
Benchmade 943 Osborne Axis

Not really many Benchmade 710s, thought they were meant to be the business when it comes to folders!

Am I being misled?
 
New to the forum and this is my first post. Thought this would be a great way to start out.

*Microtech/Lightfoot LCC (finest production folder I`ve ever owned)
*Al Mar SERE 2K
*Benchmade 910 Striker (first "good" knife)
*Camillus Dominator
*CRKT Kasper Pro
*CRKT Polkowski Companion (Carried IWB, right hand cross draw :)
*BK&T Combat 7
*Cold Steel Ti-light
*Benchmade 690 Elishewitz (dress knife)
*Spyderco Bob Lum fixed-blade tanto (Another perfect IWB concealed cary knife)

That`s seven folders and three fixed blades. Almost all are carried EDC but rotated because I love them all.

I think we need a top twenty list. To make everyone happy.
