pacific salt se
15v manix
spydiechef
yojimbo
original ladybug (it's a sentimental thing)
that's kind of a tough list to make. if i narrowed it down to only users, i'd replace the ladybug with a stretch 2 xl salt or a manix salt, both of which we've been told are coming.

I definitely realize it’s a tough and ever changing thing for most of us here. It’s fine if it’s not a completely set in stone list, just what you’re currently feeling your top 5 favorites are from a balance of function and sentimentality

In no particular order, I could get by with the following just fine. Delica, Military, Police, Native, Ladybug. Now if I have to further specify blade shape, steel and edge type it’ll get trickier.

If chosen by amount of use then -

Caribbean Leaf SE

Manix 2 XL Cruwear
Yojumbo S90V
If chosen by desire as well as utility (including ones I don’t own) then -

Not the most exotic or esoteric, but they are all utterly fantastic knives.

Dragonfly vg10 wharncliffe
Delica k390
Salt 2 lc200n
Chaparral
Pac salt lc200n serrated
Para 3 spy27
Really hard to narrow that down to 5 but I think I’d give up the pac salt. But if I did I might get the salt 2 as serrated.
