Oh dang it...three more that are my top three:

1) LB
2) Original Manix
3) Captain

My Top 3:

1. P'kal
2. Dodo
3. Yojimbo 2

Sadly don't have any of these.

I'm going to say my top 3 right now. Too hard to figure out my top 3 of all time.

In no particular order;

G10 UKPK


G10 Manbug



My plain old FRN Dragonfly 2, my work knife. Comes with me everyday and gets subjected to way more abuse than it deserves. Once every week or so I touch it up, finish it on the strops and than back to work. Hasn't let me down yet.

Southard
Native 5
Sage 1

It's really hard to pick 3...

Native 5
Chaparral
Dragonfly 2

Also want to put in Techno and Domino..

1. Karahawk
2. Tasman
3. Tenacious

Pretty interesting but it seems like the PM2 is mentioned less than the Caly or Sage series on here. Would have not imagined that considering how much it gets talked about.

1. Military
2. Wayne Goddard
3. Air

Sage 2
Caly 3
Para 2

Honourable mention: Military

These can (and do) swap positions unexpectedly, depending on the phase of the moon, the colour of my pants, the spot gold price and political situation in Mozambique. :)

For right now.

My current top 3 are probably:

1. Yojimbo 2
2. Southard
3. Para 2/Manix 2


Yeah, I know I listed 4, but the last two are always battling it out in my head and I go back and forth between which I like better. The Southard is a huge surprise for me in that I think I may like it overall more than either the Para 2 or Manix 2, despite the fact that it doesn't slice quite as well as either one, it does have a few attributes that put it a step above the others for me. The Yo 2 is just about as perfect as I can make a knife. The only thing I would change is maybe giving the blade a very small amount of belly like the Manix 2 has, just for the sake of making it a bit more versatile as an EDC. Otherwise it's about perfect for EDC for me.

For Me. I would say:
1) Manix2 CPM-M4- Love the ball bearing lock and M4; Great EDC
2) Para2 CTS-204P- Smaller version of the great cutting Millie blade, compression lock is awesome, still gaining experience with CTS-204P
3) Sage2- An unassuming folder, great for when I travel, the S30V and Ti cope well with swimming

1. Endura 4
2. Para 2
3. Jester
This will most likely change over time.

Para 2 , Szabo ,and another Para 2. Have fun .

Ugh, I hate this question. It's like that test in your dreams where you show up in your underwear, and everyone's fat.
These are my current favorites. This changes almost weekly.
1. Lava Blue G-10: I've bought little-big knives specifically to replace this, but I can't. This knife is almost always on me. With a Ball-Bearing or Frame-Lock, it would be my perfect EDC knife.
2. Yojimbo2: Such a scary, straight-to-the-point juggernaut of a knife. It's like the 1st Alien movie in modern metal form. You're never safe.
2. Dodo CF: Fun to carry, but also surprisingly useful.

From what I see, most people favor a Caly(UKPK included), a Sage(Chaparral included) or a Para2.It is something wrong here.I am an old school guy.
