My updated list.

1) Mcusta Kasumi. A little too fancy to be a working knife, but it is strong and sharp and still the most beautiful knife I have ever seen. My favorite knife. It is my EDC knife as long as the day is a special occasion :D Not a knife I like to use in a dirty warehouse, but definitly not a drawer queen.

2) Al Mar SERE 2000. Big enough, but not too big. A good lock, with one-hand opening and closing. G10 scales and VG10 steel. Low-ride clip, and a great, unique design. An all around great user with a truckload of good features.

3) Spyderco Manix. Tough as nails. A great workhorse. This is a knife I can abuse and not have to worry about. It begs for more.

4) Benchmade Skirmish. Big, beefy, and scary, yet still elegant and beautiful. Not the most practical knife, but it has a good combination of the "makes me weak in the knees" factor that my Kasumi has and beefiness and utility.

5) Kershaw Leek 1660ST. Sometimes I like to wear shorts, and this puts pocket space at a premium and makes weight an issue. It also means clipless knives are a bit unsecure as shorts pockets tend to be looser than jeans. When this is the case, my Leek is what I grab. It is svelt and has a good clip. A great knife for when I want to travel light, and one of the most elegant designs I have seen anywhere near the price point.

Still waiting on my Sebenza. It is on back order, so I can either wait 2-3 weeks for it (a Large Classic), or I might get a Large Stars and Strips version instead since it is in stock and a version of the Sebenza I want to get one day anyways.

Heh I was thinking the same but it's a rather timeless question. I noticed quite a few knives that are still very popular on the first four pages.

For me;

Mini Ritter grip x2: S30v and M4
Warn 583-1
Spyderco Wegner
An old O1 Randall that I can't remember the model number of.
 
Holy resurrected thread, Blademan! As mentioned, this is what the writing industry calls an "evergreen" topic - always relevant and interesting.

My favorite users:

Greco Explorer; excellent wilderness fixed blade
Ontario Rat 1; for $30, or even thrice that amount, that knife's hard to beat
Victorinox Cadet; lunch companion
Benchmade Griptilian 551; seven years of ownship and it's still the one folding knife I'd grab if I could only own one
Leatherman Supertool 200; it has all the tools I need for virtually any job

I'm looking forward to getting a Cold Steel Recon 1, new edition. It may supplant the Ontario Rat 1.
 
1. Victorinox Spirit X multitool
2. Benchmade 556 Mini Grip
3. GEC #25 Barlow
4. Case Peanut
5. SDS custom Nessmuk
 
Case Yella Peanut
Spyderco Kiwi jigged bone
Opinel 7 au carbon
Victorinox Pioneer
Victorinox Alox Solo
