They are very nice but for some reason I've never been able to get my hands on one.

The top one is the Toor Darter. The other one is the Toor Krypteia.

Thanks....
But, they are more flat to convex

I'm working out a build for a rotary plate late 24, early 25. I already started.
I'm hoping it will improve my looks.

*my knives, will Still look Meh.

Alphabetical order:
Blasted Hill Knives
BogdanS
Carothers
David Mary Custom
Farid
Navman (Mazer)
Tony Mont
Winkler
Wroan (Wrocinski)

There are others that I really like, but have not yet purchased from so they are not on the list.
Lots of knives could have made the list, but lately I’ve been leaning strongly towards small makers.

Any consolation, I like All of them too........and more

Edit to add:
91bravo .
Let me know if you want to borrow my Chopper.
I call it my "No Sizzle" chopper handle design.
It's a prototype, I was experimenting with what the steel can do. It's treated WAY harder than it should be (62HRC) and I Love it! Best chopper I've used.

Favorite for the price point are probably still my basic TOPS, Esee and Beckers. But I do love my Winklers and Creelys

 

[Alberta Ed]

Buck, Marbles, Roselli, Fallkniven, Dozier, Cold Steel (lots of those), Kabar and Bradford fill out my list. Mostly high carbon steel, and there's nothing wrong with Buck's 420HC.

 

[JJ_Colt45]

For me it really depends on what kind of use we're talking about as the knives I carry for everyday aren't vastly different from those I carry hunting or camping.

So all of these standout in differrnt areas of use for me.

Carother Performance Knives
Deer Rock Knives
Dave Ferry
JJ Smith
Robert Erickson
Becker
Winkler
LT Wright
White River

I figured I'd forget one or two and Blues post reminded me of a glaring omission to my list so ...

Edit ... I'd most definitely add REK.
