I will preface this post by saying I don't really need another knife. Ok, now that I've got that out of the way...
I have recently weened my spydercos down to just a few. I sold my green pm2 and gave my dragonfly salt to a fishing buddy. So now I am left with a ti Millie, se pacific salt, orange dodo and I have an aqua salt waiting on me when I get home. That's the current lineup.
So, I will be in the states all next week and plan to make a trip to knifeworks, which is near my fathers house. I've been trying to make a short list of spydercos I would consider buying and thought it would be good to listen to suggestions from some of you who have handled more spydercos than I have.
Right now I am very happy with everything I own. My edc is the military unless I'm doing really dirty work or I'm going to be on the ocean, then it's the pacific salt. The dodo I carry as a second knife sometimes, like I used to carry my dragonfly. The aqua will get mounted in the kayak. If I am going to add anything, it needs to be something I will actually use, otherwise I just won't enjoy owning it. I've considered a second military or a superblue endura since I like both those platforms, but that seems kind of redundant. I don't know, that's why I'm asking for suggestions. I have always gravitated towards either large or small folders. I never really got into the mid size 3" blades that most people like, but I'm not opposed to considering them.
Here's a list of a few I'm thinking to look at.
1. Another blackout plain jane pm2 (haven't even shipped mine yet and already have a bit of sellers remorse, haha)
2. I want to check out spydercos flippers. Domino and southard.
3. A g10 Millie.
4. The delica.
5. Sage series.
6. Another salt knife (probably a se tasman)
7. Fixed blades like street beat and street Bowie.
Ok that's what I can think of for now. Probably the most practical knife in the list that I know would get used is the tasman salt so I'm leaning in that direction but I'm open to any and all suggestions!
I'd love to look at a m4 military too while I'm in the u.s. but I don't think those are available anywhere but on the secondary market. Correct?

. Seriously though, I hear ya, but honestly, I preferred my s30v version. I'm sure I'm in the minority with that opinion, but I find I enjoy working with s30v over 204p. And to syncharmony, yes, I finally got familiar enough with the steel that I could put a really good edge on it, but I just find s30v to be a better balance for me. I do want to check out the southard. If they had a different steel model (say xhp) I would probably choose it, but the fact that it has 204p does not rule it out. In other words, cts204p certainly isn't my favorite steel, but I don't hate it.
