I recently broke my favorite knife (it sucked..) and i can't seem to find a replacement blade on the companies web site. So I figured it was time to get a new knife.. anyone have a favorite brand..?

This is the one that I have been using for years now: Helle Hovding from Norway. Nice touch and feel and a good blade.
It even survived some d..heads using it to break up big chunks of wood (had to do some honing afterwards though and promised me to never ever lend my knife to someone else).
On the other hand a !good! knive from Solingen is always worth the money!

Lildeadman try a Gerber they have a bunch of lock blades all shapes and sizes or try a Buck knife they have been around a long time you cant go wrong with both of those...

Wow Cardinal thats a nice pocket knife. You must have big pockets.
Lildeadman said knife, Not knife wannabe! And yeah, the leather trousers I wear, when being out in the woods has a pocket, on the side of the leg, that's big enough!
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list.

Well, the way i look at it (especially with the variety posted so far lol) before one could be recomended you would need to identify what you were going to use it for and wether you wanted a folding pocket knife or a sheath knife, or a kitchen knife, or a boot knife, or a throwing knife, or a skinning knife, or a ........
That said you might want to look at the Kershaw brand and designs by Ken Onion. http://www.thekershawstore.com/Kershaw_Knives_s/91.htm I own 2 of them - a Vapor and a Scallion and I generally carry the Scallion 24/7/365. I have had Gerbers as well and they are decent, but I now prefer the Kershaw.
Some say, that if You see me, it is probably too late..

Well I change between these edged tools depending on the situation:
My everyday pocketknife, handy at home, at work and on air-travels Fully synthetic material, extremely strong, sharp as a razor and super light.
My Hand Claw is pretty useful for shredding cardboard, always a door-opener when You are out on the club-scene, no doorman will reject You! Best effect will be had with the appropriate headgear.
And last but not least, my trusty Bat'Leth. What can I say; when You need to get Yourself out a situation, a Klingon battle sword does the trick.
Just kidding!!! I have a preference for SOG knives, either folding or fixed.

If u need a really good knife, get an Cold Steel SRK Carbon V. Hard, sharp and will hold for a long long time. Check some test for it on youtube, u will like it after that.
