[Zephyr One/Zero]

I would have to say 'old school' SOG, and Al Mar blades. New market: I would go with Off Grid, and Cold Steel.

New market: I would go with Off Grid, and Cold Steel.

In that order?

 

[Zephyr One/Zero]

Probably Cold Steel, first EG. Off Grid has some nice fixed-blades too, for the money!

 

[Tritium]

Folder is easy - Demko AD20

Fixed is much more difficult - CPK, TRC, Busse, Architect.......

[Mountain Mike]

Folder: Spyderco/Emerson
Fixed: Bark River/Becker

 

[hugofeynman]

Cold steel and Extrema Ratio, because of their folding knives. Fixed blades, I just comission custom work.
