Although my very favorite is and will be Spyderco, I have a few other knives I like. For instance, certain models by Victorinox (those who have a decent amount of gizmos - a corkscrew and a can opener toghether with the blade is enough for me).
I also grew pretty fond of my Benchmade 32 - so far it was the only Benchmade made after my own taste, and Spyderco will never make a locking balisong anyway, so I don't feel too guilty. ;)

Myself,in order to get the same sense of quality fit and finish equal to Spyderco, I'll spend more. Then I'm afraid to touch them because they're so **** expensive i.e. WilliamHenry, Pat Crawford, Randal, Kressler, etc. From a collector's point of view, no problem, protect the investment. From a knife user's point of view, like having a very beautiful wife and no penis. So the models I EDC (aka destroy), are used duplicates or seconds of the vestal virgins kept secreted away in that enigmatic moisture proof case where a knife is only a concept, never to be used; a cornucopia of unrealized potential...(sniff).

I have a small smattering of others, but they’re rarely used. I still have my faithful BM 750 Pinnacle, the old recurve blade framelock, which was one of their best IMO. I also have 2 or 3 Kershaws, 2 Beckers, 2 CRKT’s, some of the Cherusker-Messer LLC series (Bram Frank’s latest), 3 of the Camillus CUDA fixed blades and an older Allen Folts custom fighter. Wow, I have a lot of knives.

The Spyderco collection outnumbers all of those put together by about 2-1. They’re pretty much all I use on a regular basis. It’s just a matter of familiarity for me. I used to use all kinds of different brands, but it would sometimes throw me off when I’d reach for a hole and find a stud or vice-versa. Now, it’s really quite simple.
42 Spyderco fixed blades and counting...

Definitely Kershaws. My other source of high quality boutique runs. Thomas W. learned his job well here, amongst other companies in a long carreer in the industry. He's a **** good guy too. Joe

In terms of large folding knives, it would be my Buck 110 Folding Hunter... she was my first. :)

In terms of pocket knives, it would be my Imperial Boy Scout pocket knife with main blade, regular screwdriver, Phillips head screwdriver, can opener, and awl.
