You want utilitarian or something one can appreciate? I like the Boker for an EDC, stout, sharp moderate weight.
There's the everyday work tool from the cheap ones on the left, to Boker & Benchmade (Middle 2) to collectibles like my post WWII Schrade paratrooper & Hubertus.
AND the (IMO) Cadillac, Lincoln, whatever you like, of knives a Hubertus Solingen. They're works of art, for what they are.
