I was just admiring my Spyderco Endura II, and so was wondering what is your favorite all metal handle knife.

I'm also very fond of my aluminum Victorinox SAKs and my Gerber Harsey Air Ranger.

The Camillus EDC is also very nice.

Good luck,
Allen.
 
That would be my fully-serrated Spyderco Police model, with my SS plain-edge Spyderco Delica running a close 2nd, and my fully-serrated SS Endura a close 3rd.
 
Not possible. No one favorite. Too many different styles, each one ideal for some one situation. (No, I don't always carry them all!)

Most pocket time --

Chris Reeve: large regular & tanto Sebenzas, small classic, Umfaan.
Darrel Ralph: 3" EDC (original of the Camillus EDC)
Camillus: CUDA Maxx bowie (Darrel Ralph design)
Ka-Bar: Dozier Thorn

Also hot --

Spyderco: stainless steel Cricket
Benchmade: money clip Big Spender

Except for the Ka-Bar, which is a tab lock, all the others are framelocks.

Chris Reeve, Darrel Ralph, and Camillus are titanium handles, the Ka-Bar is aluminum, and the Spyderco and Benchmade are stainless steel.

I would have added my massively impressive MOD CQD & CQD II, plunge lock aluminum handle monsters, but they're not all metal: they have grip tape inserts. :)
 
Not quite sure of the makers name (?russell?) but there is this aluminum handled knife that came out in the early forties. The handles were molded like bark. I saw one at a local gun show. That is my favorite metal handled knife
 
in order of favorites

AG Russell One Hand Knife: flatest biggest knife in a small handle.

Spyderco Dragonfly: love the way it fits my hand, and it's wicked looking.

Buck Model 186 Take apart Titanium knife: and if you've never seen this knife with the belt clip, it/s kinda hard to descibe but it is cool looking.
 
Only have one; a Benchmade 720 - which incidently is my favorite!:)
Not very much talked about here, but a great knife!

Ditto. ;)

Though my Rat Shaker (Blade Show only Swamp Rat version of the Busse Assault Shaker) is quite nice as well.
 
Favorite one hander: Spyderco Lum Chinese (Handles are coated aircraft aluminum.)

Favorite slip joint: Victorinox Soldier (Aluminum handles as well.)

I don't own any. If I was going to buy one right now it would be a Chris Reeve Sebenza (folder) or Mountaineer (fixed blade).
 
Of the knives available through general retail: Greco Falcon

Including significantly modified knives: my Benchmade 720/Griptilian hybrid knife
 
My favorite is easily the Camillus CUDA Maxx Bowie! The runner-up would be the Kershaw Boa. Very different styles, but both provide terrific grips.
