Must-have Spydercos?

[Surfingringo]

You might find the Techno interesting. It is a small knife but built like a tank.

The Domino is just superb imo. The Taichung knives are about perfect really. That being said, my best cutter is the Military- its a bad azz knife. I'm also very fond of my XL Manix s90v and Caly 3.5 VG10. I'll be getting a new Manix S110V shortly. It should be great as well.

Could we have an easier, less opionated question, such as the nature of being?

Para 2 or the Manix 2 blacked out.

Sounds like you have a very good start to your Spyderco collection.

As some have already suggested, I would save up for one or two Taichung Spyders of your choice. The Southard is excellent, as is the Domino. The Techno has always intrigued me, and the Sage 2 is a great alternative.

Or you could save up the big bucks for a LionSpy, because they are beautiful.

Of course, there are still plenty of more budget friendly Spydies to choose from. A good Super Blue FRN Sprint Run is always nice, same goes for the new Lightweight Manix 2 s110. Those are both very reasonably priced and excellent.

Added some more to my list, here's the complete list:

Delica 4 FFG
Ladybug 3
Dragonfly 2
PM 2
Sage 1
Chaparral
Manix 2
Salt 1
Caly 3

I have no need for the bigger Spydies like the Millie or Endura.

I would possibly recommend the Caly 3.5 if you have no larger knives like the Endura or Military on your list. It's handle is barely bigger then the Caly 3 with an extra 1/2" of blade. The only downside to the 3.5 vs. the 3 is the lack of belly when compared to it's smaller sibling.

My don't need list is much shorter. I could probably live without a Bug?? Nope sorry guys, I must have them all!

Caly 3!!!!

SS Police, iconic knife

I'll second that, and a Wayne Goddard too.

The LW Native 2 is a terrific knife.

In a larger knife, the Manix 2 series are all superb. If I could only have one folding knife, it would be a Manix 2 LW.

The Rock Salt I have is a terrific lightweight bush knife or fighter.

I'm of course eagerly looking forward to the ARK. Aside from the defensive aspects, it's just a really neat little knife.

PM2, Manix FFG (S30v with G10 and/or S110v FRN), Gayle Bradley. Oh, and the Southard.
