My favorite knife is the Grohmann GR-1 Canadian belt knife. It holds an edge and is very comfortable to use. The knife wasn't as sharp as I would of liked out of the box, but it didn't take me long to touch up the edge. Keep in mind that I am very particular about the sharpness of my knives. If they will not "pop" hair I am not happy. Here is a link:

I also have a buck 110 folder that I have had for 30 years. I once broke the tip of the blade off digging a slug out and I sent it back to Buck and they replaced the blade under warranty. I abused the knife and broke it plain and simple. They had no obligation to repair it under the warranty but they did. You can't ask for better service than that. Plus it was only a couple of weeks before I had the knife back.
