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.
Busse,Chris Reeve, Swamp Rat.
1. Cherusker Messer
2. Emerson
3. Benchmade
Camillus
Becker (not sure about the ones made by Kabar)
Benchmade
#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
Emerson, strider, benchmade. That order
1. Benchmade. All series really cant find a bad one.
2. Spyderco. Again all series allthough not sold on the Byrd's yet.
3. T.O.P.S.
4. ESEE formerly RAT cutlery.
5. Ontario Knife Co. (use mainly RAT designs I think they are same manufacturer.)
6. CRKT some of the best knives going for the money.
7. Spartan Knives
8. Mission Knives (allthough yet to afford one.)
9. Buck - still making some of the best bang for the buck (no pun inteneded)
10. SOG seem to have a good value going atm.

customs- anything Les George, Elishiwitz, or John Landi
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.
they are sharpening up my http://missionknive.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=... as we speak and will ship it to me Tuesday. My personal holy grail of survival knives.
Looks like a beauty though I'm not one for serrated. You'll have to let us in on some pics when you get it and maybe even a little blog on your thoughts of performance.
I spoke to the company and it can be sharpened by any field sharpener that is non magnetic.
So Ceramic? Are the Diamond ones magnetic?
