WE Rectifier; I've read WE makes good knives, wanted to see for myself. ZT 0393; I've always liked ZT knives, thought this one looked cool. Emerson CQC-15; Favorite Emerson. Let one go a while ago and needed to replace it to fill the void in my life. TOPS El Chete; I like TOPS knives and read this one is a great chopper. CRKT Graphite; Thought it looked cool and I like the unique locking mechanism. Benchmade Freek; Not usually in to black blades or serrations, but I think they fit this knife well. I really like the handle colors. Also bought a couple of cheap CRKT's and a couple Byrd knives for presents.
