Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

Thanks! If anyone wants scales from this dude I can hook you up with him. He does other knives and woods. This is a presentation grade piece of timber. All his stuff is. Love it.

Ti-Lock is his masterpiece
-
Haven't handled To-Lock, but I'd have to call Sebenza his masterpiece based on pioneering framelock and establishing a whole new popular locking mechanism industry-wide. Plus he didn't design the Ti-Lock.

CR designed the Ti-Lock w/ the Hawk bros. His knives are nice but there are many manufacturers that do it better then Chris Reeve. I have had every model of CRK. His knives are expensive and for a bit more money you can get a superior custom knife.

I think it's a masterpiece. It's easily user serviceable, it pioneered a terrific locking mechanism that took the industry by storm, has a great Spartan aesthetic, really nice blade designs and grinds, world-class pivot, and built to outstanding tolerances (measured in micrometers) for a manufactured blade. $0.02
Oh, and I'd add that no one stands behind their blades more than CRK. Any discussion of cost relative to other makers has to include that fact.

which chris reeve do you recommend?
Sebenza. Large or small depending on your needs
Simple, classic, the knife by which all modern designs are measured by
You can get other knives that his this feature and that feature, but when you break it down to bare bones, the Sebenza is all you need in a highly refined package
Additionally, CRK's warranty and service is great, which is important if it's going to be a long term user
