Most carried and used, Spyderco Kahr Arms Delica:

Just generally prettiest and nicest, Kershaw 1040:

Gotta love the classics. Wouldn’t find a respectable biker without one back in the day. Cops had ‘em and we had ‘em right , @AntDog. Back in the 70s if you rode, most likely there was a sheath on your belt and a 110 or 110 style knife in it.

I carried a 317 and later a 112, but then, I wasn't a respectable biker, just a young guy on a bike.

It is a budget blade, but I’m quite fond of the Cold Steel Finn Wolf.

And around 2008, the foliage green Spyderco Manix was quite the bee's knees. This one I sadly no longer have.

View attachment 1060535 View attachment 1060534 I have 2 favorites. One is the LionSteel Ti Dust with a 1 piece, 4 layer, 3-D printed Titanium handle and ball bearings in the pivot. The other is the Buck Collector’s Club Inc. (BCCI) 30yr Reunion, take apart, Aluminum, 110 format knife. Blade swaps have never been easier.

None of my 110s touch

Mine neither, that's not what I said.

I’m a lockback fan and my favorite is a fingergrooved Buck 110. Probably because I got one when I was fairly young and carried it daily into early adulthood. It just feels right and no matter how much time passes between carrying and using one when I pick one up I am reunited with a trusted and well known friend and companion.

My plain old purple Endura 4 without pocket clip. No pic required. A fat stag scaled Boker. Tiny and also no pic required. But I like them lot!

Chapparel!

Necro Alert! Six years!
Having said that,
There aren’t too many lockbacks on my shelf, maybe half a dozen. Of these, I prefer the Bucks, notably the 112 Slim, and especially, the 284 Bantam.

All these spyderco pics are making me miss my Native LW and my Stretch ZDP. I do like the Caly 3 carbon fiber ZDP though!

This one. Sentimental reasons.

And from a practical standpoint I like the blade profile and contours, grip size and contours. VG-10, made in Japan.

Gimping. Generally I do not want it on a knife, but on a small blade like this I think it has some utility.
