I’m surprised it took till post 45 to even mention the Reaper,
well done Burton Knut

Though I have more than 5 CPK models, I still am not sure if I have enough to have a top 5.

I'll give it a crack though:

1. Shiv - Sorry, not sorry. It's design perfection and I'm constantly surprised with all the tasks I can comfortably do with it. And I haven't even stabbed anything! Yet...
2. DEK3 - One of my most used CPKs. I know it may not have been solely designed to be a kitchen knife but I use it almost exclusively in my kitchen; it's such a pleasure to cut with.
3. SDFK/HDFK - It was a tossup between the HDFK and SDFK so they occupy the same spot. SDFK has a little more blade, a little more oomph but the HDFK was my very first CPK.
4. FK3 - There were some things missing on the BFK that the FK3 handled. It's the best belt knife that money can buy.
5. Kephart - Having had the rare opportunity to handle an original Kephart and having quite a collection of Kephart-inspired productions, Nathan's version is the very best modern iteration of this classic design. I am honored to have one in my collection and it deserves a spot in my top 5(6?).

Jo must be the Queen of CPK...
So is the Queen's Dagger your Integral Dagger which resides in a custom made wood case?

 

[de-wol]

In no order and of the ones that I own:

DEF 2
LC
HDFK
SHIV
KEPHART but the K18 is dangerously close

Harland, Yes!

 

[MiFi71]

1- FK2- still the best of all time!
2- DEK 1
3- FK3
4- EDC 2.1
5- Utility Fighter

*K20- lives in it's own universe on a higher plane and can not be ranked alongside anything else, ever!

 

[madcap_magician]

I've kinda ruthlessly narrowed it down, and the ones that won't go anywhere are the Bluey, the UF2, the Shiv, the ninja K20, and the boot dagger.

All these great choices but no pics?

 

[SharpBits]

I feel blessed to have four(!) CPKs, EDC 1.2 x 2, a DEK, and a Kephart. Those are my top CPKs.

More blessed than I thought. I forgot my BFK.

 

[ryco1008]

That is a good point lol

 

[Pàdruig]

All these great choices but no pics?

Fair point.

 

[drj211]

I only have 5, so I guess they win!

Shiv 2.0
BFK magnacut
K20
Kephart
SDFK

And as of today I can add an EDC to the list!

 

[yoko]

Good question ....I forgot the rules

Each one of these has a story behind it so i couldn't narrow it down anymore than this
