    🤔If I had what I see on your table, certainly in my top 10 would be:
    1. Benchmade 565-I🤗
    2. Spyderco Native 5 S90V/fluted CF😍
    3. Koenig Arius (awesome, albeit a bit too large for EDC for ne personally😶)
    4. Spyderco Shaman (again, too big for EDC, but it's just one of the coolest knives ever😎)
    5. Giant Mouse Ace Biblio (Burgundy please🥂)
    6. Ferrum Forge Stinger📍
    but to make 10 I would have to add a few of my own:
    7. WE Knife Bishop🤟
    8. Fox Knives TUR😁
    9. Kizer (mini) Shoal🪒
    10. Spyderco Sage 5LW👌
    Honorable mentions would go to the Benchmade 940😎
    And I'd keep the ProTech SBR concealed😱

    Spyderco would make me lose my chalupa if they offered compression-lock versions of their
    lock-back knives...I simply HATE lock-backs, but they've got some sick knives with that ridiculous lock system I will admit! Impressive collection ya got there man!💪🇺🇸

    Some weirdly named knives in the top 10.
    Kona Garius
    Them Co. 8020
    Protect Mal-A-Boo
    Pair of Military Too
    Weigh Point
    A Scrand
    Danger Pickle
    SeaRex
    Pair of Three
    Soup Or Freek
    Bet my BudK Special Force knife can cut better anyhow. It's got serrations too. And a flashlight. That would be my top one. It's way better than my Vanax Shirogorov F95T or my Gen4 Style 57 Koenig Arius.

    The native is one of my favorite Spyderco's. I also agree a compression lock version would be awesome. I want a Spyderco Mini Khukuri with a compression lock too 🧐

      Spyderco is just too good as a user. But I still prefer my benchmade 940 over any spyderco just because how fun it is to edc. Plus I want a more robust blade that will last, but spyderco has better cutters forsure!

It would be awesome for you. Thanks for showing your nice collection. My dad passed down to me a Benchmade gentleman's folder model so old it says benchmade with bali song inside the butterfly. It's designed by Pardue and is Ti framed with black g10 or micarta half handle scales. It predates model numbers lol. Enjoy your collection.

    My SuperFreek is my only "good" knife I have that I regret buying. I'm probably being petty, but it's because it has some blade play.
    It's a big deal for me because I have some knives that I paid a quarter as much for (Elementum 2, for instance) that have NONE...
