I like Italian blades and both LionSteel and Fantoni are the two I collect the most. Fantoni in particular has some great Harsey designs that rock. The middle sized HB 03 is the same as a regular Sebenza. Materials and workmanship are top-quality.

Those are great looking knives... :thumbup: Harsey lives about 15 miles from where I grew up.
Benchmades for me. Has been for about 18 years or so... There are a few Spydercos I like. I still have a Sage 2 and had a CF Chaparral. While both are made overseas,
the workmanship is just as good as any production knife I have seen. They make great knives, I just can't get past the blade design of many of their knives...

Pro-Tech for folders, Busse for fixed blades.

I highly recommend his work. It was night and day for my Slicer. Went from being obese-shouldered eye candy that couldn't slice a thing to an outstanding looking wicked knife that's probably the sharpest I've had. I suggest getting the 220 grit upgrade though. I just got the standard 60 grit and it was a bit rough, although it smoothed out in no time on my strop.

For me it would be Spyderco then Benchmade tied with ZT. I also like traditional slipjoints. As I read my own post here, it looks like I could be seduced by many different knives. I'm disappointed that Strider and Hinderer don't support left hand carry.
Whoops! Sorry I didn't properly address OP's question
...Spyderco.
