I guess my favourite is one of these two. Not because they are beautiful, because they aren't. They just seem to have a good mix of functionality, design and quality.

Only problem is I don't own one and don't have the money for one either. :dunno:
The name is written on the blade.

This is my favourite knife and for purely sentimental reasons. It was the first decent quality knife I owned and started me off collecting all manner of sharp pointy things. It is a small Sandvik 12c27 skinner made by Theuns Prinsloo, a South African maker. Handle is dyed Giraffe.

These are my regular users. I find the Mora (not the Clipper the other one) incredibly hard to beat as an everyday user.

It's a $12 hardware store brand ... user ... marked Uncle Henry. I'me not afraid to use it for anything. If I damage it or lose it, a replacement is a stop at the hareware store and $12 or $14 bucks away.

Better make that ebay. Schrade went out of business quite some time ago. The only "Schrades" you will find in a hardware store today are imported.

I have owned and still own some very nice custom and production fixed blades but the knife that works best for me in the outdoors is the ...Benchmade Ritter Survival Knife Mk1 in M2 High Speed tool steel...

Nice Knife :)

It isn't really my favorite, but the RSK is the knife that is with me most of the time.

It's possible to convert it to a legal folding knife for everyday carry in the UK by grinding away enough of the handle side cutting edge to bring it down to less than three inches and then by using the supplied Torx key removing the locking mechanism. The axis bolt can be tightened as needed to provide the friction needed to keep the blade in a closed or opened state for light work.

I'm not sure how the law would view carrying a legal folder and the components for returning it to its non legal locking status at the same time, however it may make life easier if you plan to use public transport and are likely to encounter metal detectors etc. :rolleyes:

My favorite is the Alan Wood Woodlore...

It's surprising what you collect over the years, here's a sellection of mine. With all this steel sat here I can't really justify buying a nice shiny new bushy.

Oh well, a man can dream can't he?
 
hey andy, where did you get the folder above the bottom parang? i think i have the same one, but it needs replacing, and i don't know where you get them from- i didn't buy mine.

it's a handy little thing, and it looks nice, if a little cheap. which is good really, because it means i'm not as bothered about losing it as with say, a helle or fallkniven.

Tis all AW original. Bit scared to use it to be honest, so it is a safe queen, brought out every now again upon a velvet pillow, surrounded by gilded hippo's and dancing girls.
