Best of the Big 3?

quick update...


so I ordered a few.

Spyderco PM2. S110V/blue G10. Yeah. It was just a matter of time. Possibly the most "universally loved" production folder along with the Sebenza. So I had to get one.

Spyderco Shaman. I was gonna add the Native 5 to my cart but I like the contoured handles of the Shaman. I also like that the Native and Shaman don't have the "Spyderco hump" and have a cleaner look. I'm a big guy so the bigger size shouldn't be much of an issue.

Cold Steel AD10. Really liking what I see here. Was gonna go with the ultimate hunter, but so far the AD10 has had global praise - and again - I don't mind the size. I keep an 4" N frame Smith and Wesson on my nightstand. Sure, a J frame would work. Maybe even easier to handle. But something about the N frame suits me more. Same idea with the overbuilt AD10. Now the 4Max...that's just craziness!

Cold Steel AD15 looks a bit weird to me. I'd have to handle the Scorpion lock before I order it. Same thing with Benchmades. Not sure if I dig the AXIS lock. Will have to handle one first.

Still deciding on a ZT.

Thanks again for all the help.
Great choices!

I'm sure you'll be happy with the new blades.

Take the time to get that PM2 in s110v to peak sharpness; then be amazed at how long it holds that edge.
 
These are some of my favorites from each brand:

ZT: 0450, 0562cf
Spyderco: Spydiechef, Para 3
Benchmade: 940-1, Mini Crooked River
