Which knife is the best you have ever used?

Spyderco southfork and I'm selling it... I am going to regret it down the line. It is a kitchen beast. But I wanna try something else so it will be sold off

No idea why someone would sell off a knife they like knowing that they are probably going to "regret it" later. Just makes no sense to me.
 
Ok, so long as “best knife I’ve used” is understood to be different from “favorite knife,” I kinda have to go with the PM2. It’s been a great user and when real work needs to be done, it’s what I grab. When I was new to the knife scene, I picked one up mostly because of the hype. Aside from the compression lock, I was pretty disappointed. Then I started using the thing. The more I use it, the more I realize how very good it is. It’s the sweet spot for price : performance : quality.

It’s not “man jewlery” enough to be my favorite though. (and it can be a bit of a pocket hog ;))

My two CRKs are usually my edc/do-everything knives, but the DLT M390 PM2 occasionally finds it's way into my pocket because the thing just plain works. I should carry it more, because I like the steel choice & the ergonomics just work well for me.
 
I bought 2 knew Barkies that fit well in the kitchen sold off the southfork and a BUSSE
It happens I can see down the road picking up a second hand southfork if one comes up.

$$$ is the only thing I can think of. Luckily I haven’t had to sell any of my toys for that reason. If I couldn’t pay my mortgage... knives, watches, guitars, etc. would be the first to go though.
 
Benchmade Bugout. I enjoy other knives as well, but nothing kicks the Bugout out of my pocket.
 
I just wish I could remember the best knife I have ever used. I would surely buy another.
 
Kershaw Tilt. Best slicer, materials, build quality, feel in hand, carry-ability. This one just has it all. Too bad it was so limited in production.

Love the knife and won't ever part with it. I have had a few knives in my day, and this one is a standout.

Interesting you mention best feel in hand. That "arched back" design as I call it, feels awesome on my Launch 7 and CS mini Recon.


 
Yes - I have been avoiding the inevitable - ordering a Launch 7 from Kershawguy.....Thanks for the picture. ;^)

Spyderco Gayle Bradley 2. Tough to beat the combination of cutting ability, looks, size, toughness, fit and finish, etc. I won't call it perfect but it's pretty darn good.

Until the next one comes along.... I have been tempted with the Bugout, but I've passed to date. Maybe I'll get one if I have a weak moment. I know it's a good knife. Just don't need it. But then, what does need have to do with anything at this point?

Probably one of these (not my pic).

We have a bunch of them in different shapes & sizes, in the knife drawer on the kitchen island. We've been using them for years for paring, peeling, etc. The stainless dulls fairly easily, but a few swipes on the sharpening steel brings them back to razor sharpness.
