I always have been/will be married to the Spyderco family of knives. I've carried them since I was 10 years old and have never ever had trouble with them. Any malfunctions or breakage I caused myself. They stand behind their products and will replace or repair anything you send them. Back in the day they would do it all for free. Now they charge a small fee if you break the knife yourself. Since I've never had one go wrong without my help, that sucks a little. But I now own 12 of them. I've had Cold Steel, Buck, Benchmade and many others, and the Benchmade is the only one that has been carried nearly as much as the Spydercos. But, just like handguns, you should pick whatever you feel most comfortable with.
Also, if you're looking to buy a high-quality, handmade folder, Chris Reeves makes a very fine knife, though not at a production knife price.
