Well I suppose therein lies a question I'm not sure I have a definitive answer to. He, like any man, has a couple knives, but not like us. Not a collection, and not usually anything higher end. He has a Buck 119 that has been in his possession for at least 20 years and he's quite fond of it. And he has some ka-bar folder he leaves in his glovebox for utility.
Regarding the Manix line, I personally own a Manix 2 lightweight, and he is really fond of the grip and ergonomics, having additionally stated that he likes the appearance of the G10 handles, but not the FRCP on the lightweight. He has also expressed interest in, for instance, my Kizer Shoal. Though, as I stated originally, he would prefer something that was all-american in company, production, steel, etc. Not that I can blame him.
