Which knife brand do you find yourself buying from the most?

I have to say Spyderco. They might be ugly, but they just work for me. Other brands I own and use are Emerson Knives and Benchmade, along with a bunch of Victorinox.

Opinel. I've got five in different sizes. I like them because they're simple, no nonsense slicers. The other knife I have more than one of is the Swiss Army Knife. I've got five of them too. That's funny... I don't remember having that many...
 
ka bar
buck
cold steel
I have a few others makes to but ka bar fixed blades dominate my collection
 
Over the last several years it has been Benchmade and ZT by far. I've yet to be disappointed by either.
 
I have been drawn to the Italian makers LionSteel, Viper, Maserin, etc. as of late.

I own more Spyderco (U.S. and Seki only) than any other brand and I liken that to their diversity. I own classy knives by them, workhorses, every day carry PM 2’s, and even budget Spyderco’s.

If they made a fixed blade in the U.S. (other than the Mule) with premium steel like M390 or K390, I’d probably have a fixed blade too.

Second up would be Benchmade and then Zero Tolerance.

I know they make some decent knives these days but I just can't do Chinese or Taiwan knives, no matter how good they are. YMMV.
 
I have six SAKs. Two Shirogorovs. Four Laconico designed production knives from WE, Kizer and Reate. Everything else is one of. Anso, Burger, Cheburkov, Chris Reeve, Ka-Bar Dozier, Real Steel.

Buck..by far. I'm a life member of the BCCI and collect rare,odd,1of1 and prototype 112's. I actually feel weird and/or disloyal if I even consider another Brand..

You are missing out on a whole world of absolutely fantastic knives then. Nothing wrong with your loyalty but there are some offerings which are perfect for multiple uses that Buck does not have. YMMV
 
Victorinox. That's only because I collect them and they make for great gifts. One of the best brands, IMHO, in terms of value, variety and consistency of quality.
 
My overall favorite brands are:

- Olamic Cutlery
- Spyderco
- Great Eastern Cutlery (more recently admittedly)
- Queen Cutlery (and all the subsidiaries)
- CRK

I have many knives by many great companies, and will continue to buy those knives which capture my interest regardless of maker/company, but these are the companies where, if I've got some free cash lying around, I start looking at their products first.
 
Check my catalog :)
Spyderco on first place - they are so beautiful in their diversity
Cold Steel on second - toys for the big boys that hard to break))))))
Victorinox is third one - the real EDC workers :)
All more than ten, then will be Strider with 5 knives and around 20 brands with 3 - 1 knives (Hinderer, CRK, ESEE, Benchmade, Emerson, ZT etc)
 
In the last year, Civivi has been my most-purchased and most-carried brand. I think I'm all set on D2 for now but if they roll out with some more 9Cr18Mov or VG-10, the trend could continue for 2020. I've got their new Chronic in my pocket right now. :D
 
CRK. Really haven’t bought any other brand in several years, no real intention to either
