Favorite Knife Company?
I know it is very hard to narrow it down to just one or two of your favorite knife manufactures but try! If necessary give a top 3. It can be a custom knife maker or a factory maker, any and all are welcome!

I spoke to the company and it can be sharpened by any field sharpener that is non magnetic.

Ceramic Diamond Carbide, all are not magnetic. I have a lansky that has all three.
