Favorite Spyderco other than the Paramilitary 2?

How do you guys do it when you buy a Spyderco? When you buy the knife and recieve it, if you don't like the way it feels, just send back and order a different model?
 
The Sage 1 is hands-down my other favorite. I'm also partial to the Manix 2.

Another favorite that I rarely carry is the original Cat. I was lucky enough to get one of the good ones. CPMS30V, carbon fiber scales, liner lock, and wire deep-pocket clip for under $45? What's not to love? I wish I had bought a dozen of them.

I mostly buy used on the exchange here. Get yourself a gold membership and you can try a bunch of different models and sell them without losing much money if you don't like them. Just handling a knife isn't enough to really judge it, you should carry and use it at least a little before making up your mind.
 
Stretch is my most carried.
But close 2nd would by my Caly ZDP-189 and Caly 3.5.
 
Manix 2 xl and military, para 2 comes in at 3rd place but thats what ive been carrying the last couple days.
 
Military, C22 carbon fiber Michael Walker, Techno, Southard and Caly 3.5 (ZDP&CF)
 
GB Folder and Zulu for me. Never tried the PM2 but I doubt I'd like it with its deep middle finger choil. I have a Manix2 and tried a Sage3 and they just don't feel right to me.
