I was introduced to high end knives a few months ago, and now have a small collection consisting of Rockstead, Shirogorov, Gareth Bull, and Holt. My favorites are Shirogorov and Gareth Bull. I love the simple minimalism of the GB Shamwari, and of course the design and action of Shirogorov's are unmatched. I'm just curious to see what else is out there, and what is everybody else's favorite?001A3975.jpg

Busse for their deserved reputation.

Koenig Arius is terrific as is the Grimsmo Norseman. I was ready to not like the Norseman due to it’s price, size, blade style and reports that it was an old design, over priced and really not relevant compared to the latest greatest. I absolutely love it and will not let if go anytime soon.
 
The best made custom high end folding knives i've personally ever seen were made by a German fellow with the name Heinz Kocher.
Now i've also handled Rocksteads, custom Microtechs and Sebenza's, and Kocher's knives are a noticeable step (or two) above those.
These links lead to two threads on the main German knife forum where a couple of his folders are shown:

Folder von Heinz Kocher

Mei, was will man sagen. Über Design kann man immer streiten. Darüber, dass die Verarbeitung der Folder von Heinz Kocher zum Besten gehört, was ich jemals in der Hand hatte, nicht. Ein Verschluss, der die Klinge offen und geschlossen spielfrei hält. Und dabei hat die Klinge Null (!) Spiel. Ohne...
