I would have to say...
1. ColdSteel- They are making some of the most high quality knives at an affordable price.
2. Ka-Bar- They too are also making awesomely affordable blades.
3. Its a Tie between Spyderco and SOG for me... A bit more expensive but totally worth every penny.

Al Mar is definately my current favorite. Although that's probably because I don't own any benchmades yet. =P

I would have to say:
1. Kershaw
2. Cold Steel
3. Spyderco

Up until this year, I was one of those people that absolutely hated spyderco but for some reason they seem to have grown on me.

1) CRKT - the M16 line. I'm a Rural Brigade Fire Department Chaplain and CRKT's fire fighter's knife is perfect!

2) Marble - From my days as a kid with my first "real knife."

3) Queen Cultlery - the knife I use for whittling. The No. 9 suits small mods. for a great whittler, and they suit my hand size for long sessions without tiring. Can't beat good ol' D2 steel.

I realise these don't neccesarily fall into tactical category; but each brand supplies knives that I would be happy to "survive with" at a pinch.

Top three:
1. Swamp Rat Knife Works
2. Scrap Yard Knife Company
3. Zero Tolerance (Military division of Kershaw)

Its such unlike products as survival knives and tactical folders into one list, so if I were to limit it to only tactical knives:

1. Zero Tolerance
2. Benchmade
3. Spyderco

And only survival Knives

1. Swamp Rat
2. Scrap Yard
3. Rat Cutlery

I'm not sure where Busse would fit in all of this, but they're entirely outside my price range

Go with the polished scimitar it's much better, as a matter of fact, it might be one of the greatest knife designs ever done imo
