Right now, folder wise, I am really into the Warren Thomas folders. THANKS SPYDERCO!!! My wallet will surely be screaming NOOOO! I like his framelocks on his karambits and one overlooked model of his the Rhino. Effective closed as well as opened. Similar to the Gunting as far as ablility to be effective closed. I also like the benchmade ruckus. Nice pics of the emerson karambits.

The SubCom, Victorinox Classic SD and ... the SubCom. It's growing on me more and more, that mr. Los Banos is quite the designer. ;)

Benchmade, Al Mar, Boker (to include their Magnum line), Lone Wolf, and AG Russell Specials (i.e. Burgandy and White Micarta Jess Horns, Bob Lum Encounters, or Loveless FBs) for production knives. (Boker not just for Chad's Subcom but they are the only folks who regulary have Koji Hara's works)

Ooops. Forgot Klotzli and Hattori for production knives as well. :o

One of my all-time favorite knives is the Emerson CQC-8. The 10 is a close runner up.

Also love my Ontario TAK.
And, of course, my Striders.

I don't have any cool pics to post but I could never discriminate against any form of Sebenza or SnG.

Strider, CRK and Spyderco...its a great time to be into knives!
