The knife that is "me"? The Boker Orion. Small, extravagantly dressed, but only truly useful in limited scenarios 
The knife that I love the most, which a lot of people seem to be saying instead of/as well as the one that is "them"?: The classic F-S dagger. Slim, elegant, and feels absolutely perfect in my hand.

Ed Fowler Short Camp, Pronghorn, and Fawn set. Incredible workmanship and quality, but practical.

You just have to look at the great new avatar that PhilL did for me (thanks Phil) to know what knife is me. Without a doubt this Pronghorn is going to be with me till the end.

Overpriced customs 
I am not so sure about that since I do not know many rich custom makers. When you take the time to understand how much work and time goes into a "custom" you begin to realize that they can be pretty inexpensive compared to other labor intensive items out there that require expertise in a craft.
I will be the first to conceed that I do not need to spend that kind of money for something that cuts. I do appreciate what goes into the crafting of a knife.
I might look at things a little different from a lot a folks, but here is a basis. The most expensive knife in my collection was made by Dellana (the knife has been all over the place in publications and on the net) She is a full time maker who makes one knife at a time from start to finish (about 6 or 7 a year). It took a little over two months to make the knife she has around a four year waiting list and it took me quite a while to save up for it. It may be expensive as far as bucks, but it is a quite a deal if you take the time to learn what it takes in time and tallent to make the knife. I have had people scoff at it as a useless art knife then they pick it up check the action and understand what an good art knife really is.

I just traded for a Camillus EDC. I have fallen in absolute love with it and now look for one in 154-CM and one in Talonite. But my true love of a Folder is one of the Striders. Be it the AR or GB, they just do it all........wolf

I'm not sure if the connection is anything beyond fantastic ergos and performance, but if I lost my Spyderco FRN Native i'd run out and buy a new one ASAP - I love this knife so much!
