What's your favorite folder? (With a couple caveats)

I am one of those weirdos that carries a slipjoint on most days. In my day to day uses, most modern locking folders are big enough to warrant me just carrying a fixed blade in their stead and so I generally do when out of the house. I do like folders though and have a variety of Spydercos, Benchmades, LionSteels, ZTs, and some others. A mid sized slipjoint is pretty perfect for most of my everyday needs though and they carry quite well, in addition to having that old school flair that I like.

My favorite folder happens to be a special one to me. I had it commissioned by a phenomenal maker and I requested that he reproduce an unusual knife. He pulled it off smashingly and it has become a fast favorite.

I remember when Rhidian posted pictures of that remake. Beautiful piece.

I found this one at a price I couldn't refuse. I believe this is a proto iirc.

That's awesome! I don't know that I have seen much of his non-slipjoint work. I'd likely try to scoop up something like that in a heartbeat.

The other piece that I have of his is this Wave Trapper. Another favorite of mine.

The Lambsfoot is in A2 steel and the Trapper in 154CM (if memory serves)
