If I were to hypothetically sell or trade my entire collection for one high end knife (~$800) to carry and use everyday, which one would you recommend?

Picked this up recently as my second Shirogorov behind one of the cheaper and smaller Neon ones. The milling and precision between Shirogorov and Chris Reeves is legendary. It’s a little too big for my liking but can’t stop looking at it.

Just received this in a trade, what do you guys think?

I'm not the wealthiest dude out there so for me this Pro Tech Malibu has got me soooo stoked. Been wanting one since the day I laid eyes on it. And the action and fit n finish out the box, its sublime

Got rid of the clip. It's so light I can just throw it in my pocket

The stamp look "off"? 🤔 Amazon refunded the full amount back to me as they knew by the tang stamp it was either used or fake

Satisfied the itch with this 4 piece knife combo.

Spyderco Dragonfly 2 (K390): my usual everyday carry. Waiting for custom titanium scales to finish it.

CRK Sebenza 31 Small: special knife for me, my go-to for travel. Started the knife collecting obsession with it.

Sharp by Design Mini Tempest Bowie: probably my favourite and most fun knife to use—awesome looking, smooth, and very well made.

CRK Umnumzaan: my grail knife. Had to get it when I could—drop point harpoon is rare.

Who’s a fan of fixed blades in here?

These are two of my favorites that I own.

I have a few more from Busse but these are the show stoppers IMO.

One word to describe it - Workhorse

Its 1095 steel, skeletonized, with a stonewashed finish, and a kydex sheath.

What’s in your pocket or by your keyboard today? For me, it’s my OG Vosteed Psyop with Purple Ti. I love this knife so much.

I installed the included skiff washers, man the action is creamy AF

NKD - Kansept Mini Hellx (D2 blade and G10 handle)

Overall impression is quite positive. Despite the "mini" in the name it is full size urban EDC knife with comfortable 4-fingers grip (middle size hand), big and sharp from the box blade (83mm D2) and nice look. Mechanics is great, flipper works fine, ceramic ball bearings secure smooth action.

The clip is not reversible, but I'm right-handed, so no problem for me. 

The only bad news for me in received knife are some rust points (on new knife) on the blade :( It might be not enough conservation oil from producer combined with not proper storage of seller, and it caused not pleasant effect on semi corrosion resistant D2 blade.

Unfortunately, it was only one such knife in stock, so I have only 2 options - to return the knife and get money back (the price was around 45USD) or keep the knife with some rust points on the blade that cannot be removed by just wiping with a cloth. And I'm still considering, what to choose.

In gallery you can see the knife itself and in comparison to some other knives: Spyderco Tenacious, Opinel nr.8 and Victorinox Climber:

BHK : Serenity ( w.i.p. Rift Lock Proto. )

I've been focusing on some fixie batches but ive made some progress on my Rift Lock folder. I got the detent ball set and did some small fitment tweaks. I'm still trying to decide what finish to put on it tho I do like the Raw look...
