Spyderco Top 3 favs

I’m not a big fan of Spyderco because I really like flippers, but I would have to say my top 3 are:
PM2 LH
Native
Ladybug
 
Tough call. Vaguely in order,
SpydieChef
Manix 2 (just bought from BF, DLT 20CV, surprised how much I like it)
Chinook 3
 
As of now:

1. Para 2 - K390 is my preferred steel in this but the overall design is outstanding for an EDC blade. Add a deep carry clip and it really can make it carry better in khakis. My only complaint - I wish it had a 4 inch blade. :D
2. Pacific Salt 2 - This knife is pure utility. I bought it to try the LC200N and I really like the blade shape (I wish the Endura had this profile). It's perfect for a traveling/vacation knife that can sub in for kitchen prep.
3. Endela - Just got this one in K390 and I believe I prefer this model to the Delica and Endura. I like that it's a little wider than the Endura. Plan to try a Stretch soon as well though. This spot could easily go to other knives too. Spyderco make a lot of knives.
 
With a new one in the rotation
1. Para 2
2. Para 3
3. Manix 2
Although I could go either/or for 2nd and 3rd
 
I love the Delica 4 and, IMO, it's one of the best EDC folders ever designed. That said, I think the Caly 3 is an even more refined version of the Delica...

So, if the Caly 3 and Delica 4 can be tied for first place, I'd also like to add my favourite fixed blade to my top three Spydies... the Phil Wilson South Fork.
