So i'm fairly new to spyderco, and have been reading the threads. I'm curious as to what people would pick as their top 3 spydercos to have(currently in production/discontinued). Not the what ifs or could bes :P I currently have a Caly 3(first ZDP), caspian2 and ladybug(first h-1), and an endura i picked up for a really good deal.

My assumptions lead me to think a lot of people like the gayle bradley, sage 2, and para military. So what are your grail spydercos, or just 3 you'd love or already have?

Consensus #2 so far:

Paramilitary- 20
Military- 17
Manix2- 11
Original Manix- 7
Gayle Bradley/Stretch/Sage2 - 6
Delica- 5
Sage1/Persian/Dragonfly1*2/Endura- 4
Caly 3.5/Valloton/Chinook- 3
PPT/Caly3/UKPK/Pacific Salt- 2

interesting so far,i've seen some people interested in this starmate coming back, but only one person has mentioned it.

p.s. long lines at the bank and costco gas station provide lots of time :P

1. PPT. i plan on having a custom made by Sacha Thiel
2. Military. i currently own an orange and cf s90v
3. the upcoming TUFF :-) gonna be one badass knife
 
I'd change your Caly3 ZDP for the Caly3 VG10

And I'd add a Dragonfly2 and either a Stretch2 or a Para2
 
As of today I'd say,

UKPK Titanium
Stretch ZDP British green
Vallotton
 
Of the ones I have, and just these three models in general.
Para-Military 2 (s90v/cf)
Military (M4/Ti)
Manix 2 (M4)

If I had it i'd switch out the manix 2 M4 for a Manix 2 S90V,
although a Gayle Bradley, Tuff, and possibly a Vallatton are on the to buy list, which could change my mind, though those three will be hard to beat.
