What is your favourite folding knife and why?

[Typical-aussie]

Guys just wondering what are your favourite folding knives are and why?

[Typical-aussie]

I have a few folding knives in my collection, which due to Australia's import laws most are now illegal to bring into the country.
My favourite is my USA made schrade old timer, this little folder was given to me by my grandfather and is now 20 years old. I still use it everyday and it is still as solid as the day it was made holds a great edge and has real history and character to it, that's why it's my number 1.
My 2nd is probably my benchmade bone collector (large) with walnut handle, it looks Great and has made short work of everything I have used it for from opening boxes to skinning pigs,foxes and other small game. It holds a nice edge and is a conversation piece as from what I have read there are very few of these knives in Aus. I was lucky during purchase as customs never inspected the package.

Buck 110. Great combination of price, quality and function.

Anything Buck because it's a Buck. Nuff said.

Obviously the Victorinox Explorer Swiss Army Knife. It goes everywhere with me! I can peel an apple, start a fire with the magnifying glass, open a can of beans(the can opener beats the "John Wayne p-38 any day of the week!), or fix something with the Phillip's head screwdriver

Yeah, my favorite folding knove is the Victorinox Swiss Tool.
But I am very happy with my little Camillus. Its gone through some paces, and even has a little farrow rod hidden in it.

KaBar Dozier. Have carried one for a couple of years now and adore it. Thinking about getting an Enzo Birk (scandi grind) with curly birch scales when I get some more funds in.

Victorinox Trekker. It's a backup to my other, larger tools.

I carried a CRKT M-16 with that Carson flipper for years because of how smoothly it opened one handed and that sucker was unforgivingly sharp. I switched to a Waved Spyderco Endura when a group of us from another forum talked Sal at Spyderco into getting Ernie Emerson to allow a factory wave on a Spyderco. I still carry that Spyderco and a Case XX Mini Trapper every day. I also always have my Leatherman Super Tool 300.

But, I like that Case Trapper best.

Victorinox Trekker for everyday, around town carry.

I don't own a buck yet might be my next addition the always seem to get a good review, also whilst I am working I always have my leatherman surge it's for sure one of the best things I am bought

Do you guys know exactly what schrade+ high carbon stainless steel is? I personally have never heard of high carbon stainless and I want to find out more about my number 1 folder

[RangerXanatos]

Don't know about schrade, but Gerber had 420HC (high carbon).

[RangerXanatos]

Also, D2 is technically considered a stainless steel, but it borders on the high carbon percentage.

Actually - D2 is sometimes called a "semi-stainless". It has a fairly high chrome content (12%), but not high enough to classify it as stainless.

Buck. It works. It's good and for the memories.

I have lots of favorites! First off is the Spyderco Ladybug. Mine is ZDP-189. I like it because it's one of the few knives small enough to carry on my keychain yet still be a usable knife. I like the Spyderco Endura with the FFG a lot, too. Great to carry camping, compact but still a great cutter. Then there are the SAKs! I favor the smaller ones; anything over a few ounces is too much for me to EDC. The larger ones get used while camping or at home.
