What is your favorite folding knife?

[gennadi]

I’ve had a lot of folders over the years—Spyderco, Benchmade, you name it—but my current favorite is one from Noblie. It’s a bit more custom, but if you’re looking for outdoor knives, this might help. Their folding knives are not just functional but also beautifully crafted. Definitely not hype—just solid performance and great looks.

For outdoor stuff, I used to swear by my Benchmade, but I recently picked up a Shieldon knife based on a friend’s recommendation. Honestly, it holds an edge surprisingly well and feels great in hand. Not as hyped as some brands, but definitely underrated.

The one that is in my pocket when I need it.

All great choices, Hogue Deka in magnacut is a great option.

Carry all the high dollar knives you want till you lose it or it walks away.
Then go buy a reasonably priced EDC you know 30-40-50.00 one.
Wear it out then go buy another one.

I agree, I bought a micro tech otf a few years ago , loved the knife but I lost it somehow ,have no idea where it went , so no more 300$ knifes for me , Gerber, Kershaw, buck even uncle Henry, works fine and if I lose one , no big deal, hell I'm carrying a edge industry replaceable blade folder as I type this , comes with 3 extra blades and I resharpen the old blades for later , there great for skinning deer and general use in the shop.

since I posted in this thread 2 years ago, I've lost or broke 3 Spyderco PM2. I switched to a Civivi Conspirator.
It's not as fun as the PM2 but it does it's job, I even bought a spare for when something happens to this one.

Benchmade Mini-Freek or Freek. Carbon fiber and S90v steel. I mostly carry the Mini-Freek.

I can't buy all the firearm related items that I like US Made, but I can with my knives. I carry one of these Chris Reeve Umnumzaan in Magnacut right now - Richard

I've been daily carrying this Victorinox Hiker for over a year and love it. I got this one when I was a kid and it for the longest time it sat idle. It's amazing how useful it's been on jobsites.

I absolutely LOVE my large Sebenza. I just got the notification yesterday that my Umnumzaan order was released to production.

I ordered it in November of 2021.

Once CPM closed, I decided to order the Tanto a few months ago so I can get the blade in CPM Magnacut which will be gone eventually.

I wanted a left handed one (My Sebenza is right handed) because, and since they're so uncommon I just ordered direct. While I was at it, I ordered it glass blasted instead of sand blasted and with blue hardware instead of silver. I am left handed but have always carried my pocket knife in my right pocket. I have wrecked the steering wheel cover in most of my vehicles with my pocket clip while getting in the car. I gouged the shit out of my wife's steering wheel cover with it, and I had to buy her a new cover. I decided after that to start carrying in my left pocket. So my Sebenza sits in the safe essentially retired, and I've been carrying a Magnacut Benchmade 940BK-03.

I do prefer the glass blasted between the two finishes.
