Favorite Knife Company?

I know it is very hard to narrow it down to just one or two of your favorite knife manufactures but try! If necessary give a top 3. It can be a custom knife maker or a factory maker, any and all are welcome!

My favorite manufactures are : CRKT- most innovative company going right now, CASE-sucker for trappers and toothpicks and KA-BAR-good knives for the money. Also like some of Chris Reeve's knives but can't afford them.

#1 Cold Steel - they make very hard hitting knives, and sell them for a fair price.
#2 Buck Knives - I grew up using them, they make high quality knives for low prices.
#3 Ka-Bar - they have basically the best fixed blade ever, great quality and fair prices

Me too. Actually just recieved my Landi http://www.landiknives.com/LK_Kinzuas.html# in tan micarta. Good value, seems very strong and excellent sharpness and strength in a tool steel that is new to me.

I spoke to the company and it can be sharpened by any field sharpener that is non magnetic.

Ceramic Diamond Carbide, all are not magnetic. I have a lansky that has all three.

Just got my hands on a spartan enyo recently. I now own two knives I have drawn my own blood with. First one being my Spyderco Bill Moran.
