Favorite and/or Best Knife Brands/models ? ?

[OPA Extreme]

Hey gang,

I've grown my knife brands on my site up to 4 now (and I can order pretty much any brand by request), of which are Spyderco, Kershaw, Zero Tolerance and FirstEdge.

I'd like to find out, which brand and models are the more desirable ones by CGN'rs.... for both folders and fixed bladed styles.

I prefer to stick to quality brands only, as so I stick to my Extreme theme, and prefer ones that are from $75 low side and up .....

Look forward to your feedback.

I am a big fan of Benchmade products... many models for various needs.

I second Bencemade. I've carried one every day for the last decade and it has never let me down.

benchmade...great value and designs for every purpose

I'm checking out their website for models and featues...and I like what I see so far... good high end steels used in their models...
Look like great quality....and fits the Extreme theme of my store.
Will get back to ya'll, if I'm able to set up a dealer account with them.... some brands don't deal with online store only set ups...

Keep the feedback coming.

Hardcore Hardware Australia makes great stuff and we only have one dealer in Canada as far as I know. Their gear is highly covetable.

Microtech knives is a pretty solid brand. Their fixed blades are one of the best production/semi custom

I've carried and used Gerber, Spyderco and Kershaw. All good, but none compare to my Benchmade!

How about Extreme Ratio knives ? Seen couple videos of their toughness.... Yes, very pricey, but are they great and worth the $$ for those who want to spend it ?
