Best Spydie out of these?

I have all 3.. I carried the GB for over 18 months exclusively. The blue
Pm2 I have is awesome, I don't think it carries as nice. It sits a little higher in my pocket.
The Millie is tip down,which I hate.. That being said, it is a must have. If you put a gun to my head I would pick the GB.
I have 2 GB's my first one I have used so much the blade is quite a bit smaller from sharpening. The clip and carbon fiber look almost new. My 6 week old sebbie looks worse than my 18 month old GB.
The FFG of the Millie's are slicing machines. Get them all and see for yourself. They are all incredible knives and wonderful values..
 
I'd pick the GB. I think it is more practical than the military. But every Spyderco fan has to have a Military (and an Endura and Delica) in their collection. I think it's actually mandatory.
 
IMHO, the military gives you more knife than the other two and in an emergency (or going into an emergency) that might count more than weight or blade quality.

i'm a little guy but i used to carry a 6-inch folded balisong in my pocket all the time. this was before the days of the pocket clip or light weight composite materials. think of it this way: a samurai would like to carry the shortest, lightest katana available but how would that make him feel in terms of fighting advantage?
 
I've carried my GB extensively, and while it's great for cutting packing bands, boxes, tape, zip ties, I have also used it for food prep cutting mangoes and other fruit, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, meat, pretty much almost anything. I rinse and clean it well after every use, and it hasn't even developed a noticeable patina. For CPM-M4 being considered a non-stainless, it stays clean pretty well. Of the 3 mentioned, it feels the most solidly built, and after taking it apart to polish the tang and washers, i can also say that it is the most over-engineered of the 3 (or any other spyderco that I've inspected and taken apart for that matter).

However, ergos and grip comfort go to the Paramilitary 2 and the Military.
 
These are all great knives, but my personal favorite of the three is the ParaMilitary 2. Which one would be best for you depends a lot on what you're looking for in a knife.
 
Of the three, I've only had the military and para 2- prefer the para 2 for edc. Plenty of knife for slicing wood and plastic products. Would like to someday try out the bradley since most of the reviews are very favorable- just having a hard time getting use to the aesthetics of the handle.
