Khukuri
Ladybug
Manix2

I think the Para2 would likely make the list, but I haven't gotten to handle one yet.

While there's a lot out there that I really like there are only three that easily stand head and shoulders above everything else for me. Those are the Zowada, PPT, and Military. I love almost everything about these knives from the one-handed liner locks (save the lockbacks for brick breaking folders) to the open construction, which is an absolute necessity as far as I'm concerned. All screw construction makes them easily field serviceable with a Leatherman or a keychain tool. The needle tips (excludes PPT) are far more handy than big, blunt ones are. Their clips are all very strong while the handles are ergonomic. The steels used fall into the great middle ground where they retain edges for a long time but they aren't so hard that I wouldn't be able to sharpen them on a stone in the middle of the forest if necessary. To boot they're all absolutely beautiful. Not that they don't have their faults too, but these three are as close to perfection as production folders could get for me. Rest assured I still do everything in my power to give them **** daily.
Here goes a practical list:
-Native - my "hard worker", keeps on delivering
-Delica - a good all-rounder
-Dragonfly - truly a little big knife
-Cricket - this is my EDC for boxes and envelopes in the office, fits nicely into the small jeans front pocket
-Kopa - a true gentleman
And that was in no particular order...
"Bubbling under"-section includes the Bob Lum folder - it's just so elegant :spyder:
