  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Spyderco Top 3 favs

1) PM2. (The original Paramilitary was a nearly knife, and the PM2 nailed it.)
2) C95 Manix. (Maybe if they produce a CruCarta Manix 2 XL, that will displace it, but there's just something about the thunk of the original Manix's backlock that wins me over.)
3) This one is really difficult to narrow down to 1 knife. It's basically all those weird and wacky Spyderco designs that you're not interested in until you handle one and suddenly appreciate the genius. E.g. Hundred Pacer, Tusk, Smock, original Dyad, Lil Temperance, SuperLeaf.

Just so happens that all of mine are from Golden. And although I prefer the G10, and REALLY want the fluted CF, that REX 45 Native is really nice. Blade swap one day...

1. Delica (cruwear).
2. Manix 2 (cruwear).
3 is where things become unclear, I have quite a few contenders.
I'm going to say the Kapara for now.
 
No particular order:
1)Military
2) Paramilitary 2
3)Dragonfly 2
Those would probably in my top 5 knives of all time as well. So I guess by default, Sal is my favorite knife designer.
