Looking to pick one up. What's your favorite liner lock Spyderco? (frame/integral count as well)

My GayleBradley just arrived. This thing is pretty awesome, esp for the $$. This liner is way too hard to actuate and close the knife though. I get it...its supposed to be, but for me...who mainly just plays with them and stares at them all day...my thumb is gonna develop some serious blisters.

Other than that...its DAMN hard to muster up a complaint. This things is just brilliant. Feels like a tank, super smooth, cuts like butter, looks gorgeous..all that. I dont need to give my impressions of this, they are all over the internets. I can just second all the hype.

But it got me thinking...I need a new liner/integral lock knife to play with. Thoughts?

ps - my Chokwe didnt come today...hoping for Monday delivery. :(
 
My favorite is the first collaboration knife they did, the one they did with Bob Terzuola, the C15.

I'm in the same boat waiting for an order. Arrived in my PO box today after closing time so it just waits... I don't want to be too much of a bummer here but the Post Office is closed this Monday for Veterans Day.
Upside is the Chokwe is a nice knife, worth the anticipation.
Another unique frame/integral lock blade is the PPT. Very solid build, quick flickable deployment and easy lock disengagement. Fun knife to play around with.
 
Military best lock in any category for me. Other nice liner locks; Rock Lobster and C22 CF Walker
Frame locks: M4 Millie, Techno, Southard in that order
 
You'll like the Chokwe, a real slicer. Be careful not to drop. The Millie is a classic design but I find myself carrying the Sage 1 more. Also may as well get the Domino......just tooooo fine.
 
I like framelocks (don't have all of these, but the top 3 I have and love)
Sage 2
Southard
Techno
Chokwe
Domino

Not really into liner locks, but:
Sage 1
Air

(Military and Gayle Bradley are too large for me)

Let me buck the trend... The Gayle Bradley is my favorite liner by spyderco, I don't even own a military anymore. Favorite frame lock by spyderco is the southard.
As far as deliveries, I have an OTK custom EDC in K390 sitting at the post office 3 miles away but I won't get my hands on it till I get home from work tomorrow night. Russ

Great top three!
 
Favorite linerlock is GB hands down. Framelocks all go up in the same category Techno/Southard/Tuff.

Sort of surprised to see all the people liking the Military liner lock.
I prefer a liner lock and my lefty Millie is the best.
If the Para2 had this lock I would carry it way more often.
