Difficult to pick just two, guided by what is most carried and used Benchmade and Microtech would edge out Great Eastern, Buck, Case, and Victorinox. Spyderco is excellent but my interest has waned recently. CRK, Strider, Spartan, Hinderer, Medford, have their spots in the collection. Boker is interesting both in traditionals and value autos.
Answered tomorrow different results could be expected. Throw a dart.
