I would say Spec Ops Plus Jump Master by Ontario Knife Works.

I have had mine for 7 or 8 years and it has been through hell and back with me and never a problem out of it. Best folder I have ever owned and I own a couple hundred.

I have an old made in U.S.A. Imperial that I'm quite fond of. The one with the standard +de-gorger/ fish scaler blades. i have a single blade Victorinox too, but it's SS and is hard to sharpen.

I like old USA knives the best. Case, Buck, ka-bar?, etc.

Rebel - I really don't have a favorite. I have about thirty or so folders, and I like them all enough that I haven't thrown any away. Some are smaller, some are larger, some are heavier, some are lighter, some are cheap, some are not so cheap.

That's alright.

I'm kind of the same way with fixed blade knives. I view them as tools. If the tool is useful, then I like it. If it is not useful, then I don't like it. I have more than one fixed blade knife (two or three laying around someplace). Like with my folders, different sizes, shapes, costs. I just try to pick the best tool for the job at hand.

Not the greatest steel in the world but I carry and use it daily. If I lose or damage it doesn't cost a fortune to replace.

Victorinox Farmer and Spyderco. I carry/use both daily and can't decide. I need them both :).

Yeah I have to agree with Crash here. Any knife is a tool,or saw,or axe,or whatever tool we happen to be talking about they are all perfect for the job they were designed for. Take hammers for example.Used to beat on stuff, but go into Lowes or Home Depot and see how many they have JUST for Carpentry work,at least 30 different ones. All designed to hammer in Nails.

Gotta go with the Buck 110. It's cheap, strong, and well made. As long as you don't pry with it (use your fixed blade for that) it should last throughout your lifetime.

I have a designated "beater" fixed blade that gets used for all the nasty stuff I don't want to put my good knives through.

I have a Buck Folding Hunter I have used for over twenty years and it is still the best knife I own. I have several fixed blade knives, even a couple of custom knives, but other than a Gerber Multi-plier which is an everyday carry - the Buck is what I carry most often.

I have three of those. One is a rescue with FRN handle, one plane with FRN handle, and another plain with steel handle. The steel handled one has a ScArY sharp edge.

As for multi tools, probably the Gerber.
And for regular folding knife only, I'm a big fan of Spyderco.

For a slippie I would have to say victorinox soldier, for a locking blade CRKT M16-13M.

I've been carrying a Victorinox Fieldmaster for as long as I can remember. I can't think of any knife I would rather have for daily carry.

In my hunting/hiking pack I have a Buck Bucklite folder. It has field dressed a lot of animals and I have no desire to replace it.

I have literally hundreds of folders... Depends what I'm doing at the moment tho.... If I'm boating or rafting I want at least a half serrated edge.... Other than that I prefer a fine edge.. My 2 favorite that I carry the most are my Kershaw blur fine edge and my SOG twitch xl .. Both knives cost a pretty penny but are of extremely high quality.... If u r goin to rely on a knife it pays to have a high quality one in my opinion... Too many cheap "bargains" have broke on me when I was using them over thyears..

Victorinox Lockblade, beats all the others hands-down.
10-25-2009, 02:09 PM

Stony - Victorinox makes a lot of different locking blades. The Alpiner, Picnicker, Adventurer, Rucksack, Equestrian and Helsman as well as over a dozen other models. Which one is hands down?

Beo

I agree with Crash, I usually carry my Gerber or my Emerson CQC6 but I have a ton of good folders. To me they are a part of my everyday day carry but no more than tool.
In a pinch any knife is better than no knife no matter who makes it.
As far as fixed blade I carry either a handmade knife, or my seal pup which is a great knife.
Beo,
