looking for a good spyderco

There aren't too many of them. I would say pick the design you like most and track one down. I don't think any are bad and without knowing what you will use it for that is the best suggestion I have.
 
I have finally collected every spyderco fix blade (including some sprints) and i like em all and i can say they all work and hold up great, the question i need to know is what are you going to do with it???


side note, there are ALOT cheaper ones that hold up just as well if not better
 
Right now, the only fixed blade H-1 knives Spyderco's making are the Jumpmaster and Warrior (oh, and the whale rescue thingy). They are both somewhat specialized designs with very clear missions in mind: one of them is fighting design with a long history (a quick search will reveal it's pedigree) and the other is meant for cutting rope and stuff like that. If a fully serrated sheepfoot fits our everyday needs, the the Jumpmaster might be a good choice.

Might I ask why you're limiting yourself to H-1? Spyderco has some really nice fixed blades in other very good steels. Models like the Moran and Enuff are the first to come to mind, both are reasonably sized (2.75" blade on the Enuff, and a hair under 4" on the Moran), low maintenance (synthetic handles and sheaths, stainless steel blades) and come with very practical sheaths. VG-10 is pretty good stuff, it certainly isn't as impervious to rust as H-1 but it has better edge retention and the blades can be flat ground (my preference over hollow ground blades).
