I have nine Cold Steels, so that's a clear lead, and three Spydercos, so that's a clear second in my wee collection. I appreciate all of the knives I own, but I seem to like, use, and carry Cold Steel more often than not. In fact, these are in my pocket at the moment:

Has to be RH & ZT...

 

[sharp_edge]

RHK stands out as #1 to me, which I don't mind buying directly from the manufacturer or dealers.

#2 to me will be a toss Among ZT, Benchmade, Spyderco, and Spartan, which I pretty much only buy in the secondary market nowadays.

Utility wise, the true #1 to me is actually SAK, which I use far more than any other brands (barring kitchen knives).
