Okay, here's the situation...all of a sudden your entire collection of knives vanishes into thin air, but you are granted a single wish.

The wish to be granted is this: You may select 5 (five) Spyderco current catalog 2004 & 2005 knives. What five knives do you pick and why? Be sure to mention whether they are plain, partially serrated or fully serrated.

My list:
Endura Partially Serrated
Delica Plain
Para Military Plain Edge
Manix Plain Edge
Dodo Blue Plain Edge

Thanks for your participation! :D
 
regular sebenza......................j/k ;)










i dont know spyderco that well but i do like the plain edge para military
 
Manix PE
Paramilitary PE
Chinook II PE
Persian (only comes PE)
Calypso, Jr. PE

I might substitute a SS Dragonfly for the Calypso, Jr.
 
I'd want to replace the Spyderco knives from the collection (a.k.a. accumulation).

- Endura, plain
- Ladybug
- REI "Q"
- Native "First Generation"

Guess I only have 4. Huh... Well, I guess throw in one of the new expensive 'customs'.

Manix PE
Paramilitary PE
Calypso Jr. ltwt. PE(current 'til the end of the year, I think)
SS Dragonfly PE
another Paramilitary PE
Why? I've got 1-3(&5), have owned SS and ltwt Dragonflies, and will probably buy another SS one.
Pointy, full-flat grinds, not little sharpened prybars, but excellent cutting tools. All are hard to beat in their size ranges for ergonomics, materials, and cutting ability (and those are what make a good knife).
 
Noooooo, what would I do without my TNT???

Para Military
Chinook
Delica
ATR
Salt - for those corrosive times!
 
Probably go like this:

Serrated Delica
Partially Serrated Native
Plain edge Para
Plain edge Mannix
And a Cricket (can't make up my mind on edge type)
 
Manix - PE for the big jobs
Kiwi - (PE only) for the pocket
Assist 2 - for nasty utility cutting around the property
Harpy - for cutting sheet material and banding and such

for 5 - well I am waiting for the yachtsman's knife.
 
Interesting thread. I'd replace my:

1) PE S30V Gunting (SD folder - mine is 440V, but a few PE S30Vs were made)
2) PE VG10 Temperance (utility fixed blade)
3) PE VG10 Moran drop point hunter (hunter)

and also get:

4) PE VG10 Native (EDC utility folder to replace my BM 940, although the 940 is much nicer)
5) PE S30V Paramilitary (don't really need one now with the other knives I've got, but I'd get one if I was starting over because it looks really nice)

Spyderco needs a few higher-end/gents folders like the 940. The Kiwi is nice, but I'd rather have a more conventional blade shape for an EDC folder.
 
Bah! A little steel, a little fire, an my wish can be used for more important things like money or women ;) :D
 
Hmmm, lessee:

PE SS Cricket for EDC watch pocket and "dress carry"
Trailing Moran for all around fixed
CE Military for EDC
PE Manix for an indestructable utility knife
Spyderfly for fun

Or if I could trade/sell them, I'd get 5 ATR's and trade them for an Chris Reeve ivory Mnandi. Sorry Spyderco, I love the Spyderco knives I have, but I really would trade them all for my Mnandi.
