When it comes to "quality" folders these day it´s 100% Spyderco.
This is also true for what folders I actually carry and use: Exclusively 100% Spyderco.
Till quite recently a Benchmade Minigrip was my only left quality non Spyderco folder, not a bad knife (for its small size), but I kept it more for sentimental reasons. Sold it eventually too though.
I still have some cheapo folders I never carry and use (among them some also very cheap traditional Austrian folders, see this old thread I started once viewtopic.php?t=82372#p1293139).
Multitools (I think 7 or 8 LM and 3 or 4 SAKs) are a different story of course, as well as fixed blades: I only have one Spydie fixed blade (a Waterway which I absolutely love) and had an Enuff quite recently for a short period of time just to try out the design (amazing handle, it was actually not easy to sell the thing again!).
Now if I lost all my fixed blades and had to start out from zero again, I´d certainly have more than just one Spydie fixed blade.
As I shared several times already: I also think that I am not a "fanboy" - Initially I thought Spydercos would look a bit weird, and did not know anything at all about the brand even when I had three models already (Delica, Endura, Stretch 1) - I was just blown away by their pure function and how they performed and felt in hand, that is what made me eventually look deeper into Spyderco as a brand and company.
I also do know that other companies make a great product and certainly folders I´d still like, no doubt!
I am just completely happy these days to be exclusively into Spyderco when it comes to folders, don´t feel the need anymore to even look closer somewhere else (which on top probably also saves me time and money... )

Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
Roughly 60%. I have more spyderco knives than any other brand:
Just one more knife...
Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
More than I feel like counting.
Most of my knives are Spyderco.
I also have a lot of Busse fixed blades after about 14 years of collecting those.
Maybe a dozen other knives mostly older.
Oh, and some Hinderer, ZT, a Cold Steel Recon 1, and one Koenig Arius.

Probably somewhere around half or more. I try not to count...
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
Locking folders: 90%
Fixed blades: 66% or more. I don’t have that many, single digits probably.
No kitchen knives and no slip joints from Spyderco at the moment.
