Ok, the jig is up I asked not completely out of curiosity but because I want to buy a few in the near future and needed some help narrowing it down :D
 
OH...
Well if you just want a new Spyderco to have another one. Since you already have a small folder I would recommend either a large folder or a hawkbill.

I love the hawkbill design and think Spyderco has a few great designs.
The Harpy or Tasman are the 2 that i would recommend. I have the Crossbill, but like the more forward angle of the blade on the Harpy and Tasman.

As for a large folder you can't go wrong buying an Endura. This was my first Spyderco and I've been in love ever since. I am of the opinion that a large knife will do everything a small knife can and more.
But with that thinking in mind don't underestimate the little Ladybug. In a pinch this little knife can cut a lot of things, and is a knife no one should be without.

The Assist is arguable the best Rescue folder out there. I plan on buying one if Santa doesn't bring one to keep in my first aid kit. I was driving home one day late at night and stopped to help a women who had flipped her car on the side. Of a handful of people I was the only one with a knife and a baby was stuck in the car seat in the car. Ever since that day I see the need to have a rescue knife with my first aid kit.


These would be a couple of knives I would recommend to anyone.

Police
Ladybug
Civilian
Spyderfly
Crossbill (byrd so idk if you would count this one)

I only have the above knifes (a few of each actually) and all are top notch quality. IDK if you can really comment on the top 10 of anything unless you have actually owned them, used them, and carried them.

I like all the hawkbilled knifes from spyderco (including the Cricket) and I also like the Q-series, Spyderco R 2 Gray, and S-series as well but have just never found any to actually buy. I was about to get the ATR and poli-wog but never really got around to it as money has become scarce for me as I started to buy up guns.
 
My favs (in no order):

Endura ZDP
Delica ZDP
Mini Manix
Temperance
Native 3
Paramily
Chinook 3
Caly Jr. ZDP
Lil' Temp
D'Allara DP
+1 the Tenacious :D
