Folders (folding knives). What's Your Favorite?

[ZX9RCAM]

My 3rd favorite is a Gerber prodigy which is a fixed blade. It comes with a nice molle sheath. Mine has a bunch of burrs and grind marks and stuff so it's not perfect but it's a lot of stuff for the money.

My 4th favorite was my Microtech Ultratech. It's just so light and elmax steel holds an edge so well. Kind of expensive but you get what you pay for.

Those aren't folders so I omitted them. I'm honestly surprised someone actually paid enough attention to notice 3 and 4 were missing.

It's what I do.....

This is my go to pocket knife. I got it from my grandpa before he passed, its so heavy I am sure I will pass it to my son.

I used to carry a Schrade just like that for many years, unfortunately I lost it in the bilge on one of the aircraft carriers. It was heavy and reliable, but at my age I now prefer the lighter, assisted open folders.

I carry a Klein Sportsman very similar to this and have for 20 years now

Pretty much any time I’m holding a folder it’s one of these.

Boker makes pretty good knives and you can get these in a few color combos.

My dad left me his.... I recently passed it on to a grandson of mine.

I used to buy those expensive fancy knives like Microtech, Benchmade, Emerson. I still have a Chris Reeve Sebenza that never leaves home because I don’t want to lose it. But then I lost some from time to time and cried — a lot. I currently have one of those slim line plastic handled buck 110s. I think it cost shy of $30. Buck heat treatment for the 420HC steel is good and it is easy to resharpen. I thought about the pro model with the S30V steel ($80 ish), but I guess I’m getting cheap in my old age

I have several knives ranging from cheap but decent quality, to near premium...but I always come back to this little guy. I guess you could say that it's my favorite. Kershaw Leek Composite.

I won't spend a huge amount of $$, so I like my Gerbers and Kershaws.

And I have a bunch of cheapo countertop folders, and Remington or Winchester logo knives (China, right?) stashed in drawers and toolboxes.

 

[lonestardiver]

I pretty much stay with Kershaw and Zero Tolerance.

I do have a Benchmade that was a serialized limited run that was only available to certain customers at one of the last Shot Shows. House of Blades was one of those customers... It was the last one in stock.

The Kershaw Leek has always been my favorite knife. The only one that I have an issue with is the "gold" version because I've had two so far and they wear way too easy.

 

[lonestardiver]

These are my daily carry rotation. Lately been going with the 2 launch models though.

I didn't read all 14 pages regarding knives, but my favorite, and always has been, a buck folder in the holster on my right hip.

 

[soupgun]

BTW this is the one I was talking about. I love the Kersah Leek, and I own two of these, but the 24K gold finish wears off fast.

 

[RigRunner]

My favorite carry would have to be Spyderco Superleaf. Many others like ZT, Emerson, Protech, etc rotate in and out

Kersaw SS knife. Got it at Academy about 15 years ago, and it’s served me well as an EDC. Made in PRC is the only thing that bothers me about it.

I can’t choose a favorite folder, that’s kinda like choosing your favorite kid.


I have a Puma that’s been nothing but awesome. A Spyderco that was a gift from my brother, that I will always treasure. An old Case that was my great grandfather’s EDC. My current EDC is a Boker Kalashnikov (also a gift from my brother)I’m really liking it. I could go on and on, there’s a whole drawer full of knives with stories attached to them.
