Favorite Knife Maker

dav1965
I was wondering which knife most people like. I have more Kershaw knives than anything else.

I carry either a Kobalt utility knife or a Kershaw Onion every day. Depends on what i am doing.

I have 1 Spyderco knife i bought for 25 cent. Its a nice knife just to big for every day carry.

To me a Kershaw Onion or Leek is about the perfect size.

I have some small old timers that are nice but they were Christmas presents from my parents and my Dad is dead now and i would hate to lose them so they stay in the safe.[:(]

    Benchmade is really my favorite but can be quite pricey

    Spyderco and Swiss army / victornox figure prominently for me as EDC options

    Favorite was a local knife maker. George Guthrie. Own a handful of his knives. Unfortunately the warranty has expired. They all came with a lifetime guarantee, yours or his, whichever came first.

    EDC varies, I have a couple assisted opening Kershaw's including the Leek, a nice Benchmade, a Gerber automatic, and a couple other Gerber and SOG's.

    My favorite knife is usually the one I'm carrying in my pocket.

    So many to choose from:

    (old - pre move) Buck
    Case
    Benchmade brand - Emerson CQC7
    Emerson brand - CQC7
    Spyderco
    SwissBuck
    Swiss Army (both brands)
    BOKER (pocket Ceramic)

    And the list goes on and one and....

    I've also got some original Russell butcher/carving knives, as well as 1/2 dozen Cold Steel high carbon butcher knives.

    I'm pretty partial to Henckel knives in the kitchen. I can dismember a whole fryer in a little over 35 seconds with a pre-war carbon blade.

    If the field, any old piece of Solingen iron will do.

    Ruana in Bonner Montana. Rudy made the knife I took to Vietnam and it saved my life more than once. I've since collected two dozen of the knives he personally made. [^]

    +1 on the Kershaws. Pete used to come hunt on a ranch owned by some good friends of mine during deer and elk season. He's one hell of a fine gentleman and built quite a company for himself.

    I have 2 Buck knives that are folders. They are a little to big for everyday carry. I have about 8 fixed blade knives.

    I have some Pumas and a bunch of Soligen steel knives that i do not know the names of or i forgot the names of.

    My Dad collected fixed blade knives and when he passed i got most of them.

    I do not skin anything anymore so they will not be used anymore for a while.

    Hard to pick just one, but my Morseth hunter is right up there as well as a custom Merle Sequine (originator of the gut hook and early knives made from Henry J flat springs). Morseth, I believe, was bought out by A.G. Russell and Merle, I'm sure, has gone to his reward.

    Slavik Tely. I don't know if/how his knives can be purchased, but his youtube videos are excellent.
