Favorite Brands other thank Spyderco?
Hey guys, what are your favorite knife brands other than spyderco? Personally, the only folding knives I own other than spydercos are emersons.

I collect Case knives because I Iike to carry a classic slipjoint along with my Spyderco. I usually carry a Spyderco clipped to my right front pocket and a Case Canoe, Sway back jack, drop point Russlock or 087 in my left front pocket because of the pen blade and because the drop point is the best all around blade I have ever seen.

The only conventional folders I carry are Spydercos, but I do enjoy my Microtech DA/OTFs.

I think that it is even funnier that his first post is about another brands.
At this time I do not have second favorite brand, which would be somehow close to Spyderco. I own 70-80 Spydercos and carry on various occasions about ten of them. I own four knives from four other brands, one of each: ZT, Ontario, Moki, SAK. Out of these four I carry only Moki on regular basis. I think that Spyderco just spoiled me with their knives due to Spyderhole, great ergos and slicing abilities of my favorites

I was partial to Microtech (folders and OTFs) at one point and older Benchmade designs appealed to me long ago. I do see a visual draw in the designs that ZT has been rolling out, but they have been less than pleasing to my hand and pocket, not to mention they could use some geometry improvement.

It must have taken some willpower, I started posting every question I had right when I joined :o , probably clogged things up a bit. To answer your question LeftyMike I don't have much passion for any other brand but my favorite non Spyderco folder is probably a benchmade sequel.Revival wrote:Welcome to the forum!

I love EKA knives, made in Sweden. Eskilstuna Knivabrik.
They made the famous folders and fixed blades for Rapala/Normark before Rapala started having them made in China; some of the Rapala blades were/are also made by Marttinni of Finland.
EKA made the Super Swede, Big Swede, and numerous other folders. Now they make the Swede 8 and 10 and others:

Katz is a good brand, too:

I also like Muela of Spain:

And he misspelled the title of the thread!.. :eek:
I only really like and use Spyderco folders, that thumb hole is something special. For fixed blades - Bark River, just love the classic stylings and materials. Followed up by some Kabar products.

While I have a couple hundred Spyderco's, I recognize that they aren't the only brand to make quality knives.
I also have a bunch of ESEE's, as well as Blind Horse Knives, Dan Koster, Fiddleback Forge, etc. and even a few ZT, Kershaw and SAK's, and even a Benchmade bought back when ATS-34 steel was supposed the be the latest hot fancy steel :) .

Which Knife, A or B? get Both! (and C, D and E) :)
