Can You Whittle These 3 Down to One for Life?

I mean, this is all really subjective but my choice would be the Sebenza, easily. They just offer what I like in a knife and I find them nicer than anything else. Even with that aside, the fact that it's an Insingo makes it a functional decision too as the others have way more belly than I prefer for my use.

OK, I have 3 folders that I love all equally.
I've been playing a mind game of "if I had to choose one of these to carry for the rest of my life, and sell the other 2, what would I do?"
My knives:
- Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 21 Insingo
- Spyderco Gayle Bradley 2
- Spyderco PM2 (K390)
What would you do?
Your reasoning?
Thanks for playing along.

Nope. No Can Do.
Monogamy is for marriage.
I was a one-knife guy for over a decade. Didn't have money for toys in those days. Now I do.
 
All 3 are great, but if I had to pick 1. I’d go PM2 k390. I own one as well. It’s not pretty to look at, but performance wise it will smoke the CRK. The GB will be comparable in performance, but not in lock strength and it’s not made in the USA.

If you need to use the knife in around salt water/humid environment, then CRK all day.
 
K390 PM2, no contest. It's the highest performing tool among those choices. The Sebenza is the lowest performing and most expensive option. I actually prefer M4 to K390, but I find the GB2 to be lacking (carbon fiber, liner lock, full proud liners).
 
GB2.
Not a big fan of frame or compression locks. Don’t like the way they feel in hand. The blade on the GB2 is near perfection and M4 is the bomb. Handle feels great in hand and rides well in the pocket. The carbon fiber looks good and provides great grip when combined with the proud liners.
 
The big question is which knife will meet your needs when you are old and your hand motor skills have gone to pot?

Sell those three and buy a small sebenza.
 
Never gonna happen. I'd sell my family members first.
