As a life-long model builder, mine would be X-Acto. :D

That would be Victorinox for me. Lately I've been replacing my trusty but rather weighty Squirts with Vic Classic SD's, now that I have that wonderful PryBaby.

That would have to be Swamp Rat knives. I didn't tried the Busse Combat ones yet and I can tell that they're all built like tanks.

hehe i feel quite guilty to reply :D

Well, lets bark a bit:

Benchmade 705

This could be my answer to the well known question "if you could have only one knife".
But i never could choose between the 705, Delica 3 and Military so i have to live with 3 favorites.

I would have to say my Crawford lefty Perfigo rather rare . I like the Benchmades I have but for some time they rarely make my rotation . Spyderco models seem to always be in pocket , lately two .

Besides Spyderco I would say the older model Benchmades, the 720, 732.

Come on guys where's the pictures ;)

As far as actual brands that I like, Boker tops the list with these two lovely offerings...

(Chad's pictures, not mine)

There are a select few knives from other manufacturers, but the Subcom line about covers it.

Now as for individual knives, that's a whole different story. These are some of my favorites(still not my pictures)

Fortunately for me, I can actually afford Spydercos :p Well...most days...

Couldn't agree with you more. Isn't that PryBaby great. I picked up the mini XL and what a great piece. Small as a door key, tough as tank, only an ounce and so darn usable. Sure saves my knives from those pry duties.

I'm going to have to say my favorite non-Spyderco is probably my old BM 350- thin, dagger-ish, and VERY flickable, with an uber-thin profile. (And a chewy caramel center. :p ) A close second is the Boker/ CLB Subcom- such a small knife but a large blade and cutting edge. I am still getting used to it!

Nice pics, everyone!

I really don't have that many knifes other than spydercos. All the old cheap ones I had before I discovered spyderco became throwing knives and gradually disintegrated.
I like SOG, I have a seal2k, very big and sturdy. I also ordered a S&W HRT boot knife. It should be here tomorrow. :) It was only $20 so I'm not expecting much from it...
