Spyderco

Out of current production:

1. Caly3.5
2. Paramilitary 2
3. Native5
4. Military
5. Endura wave

Honorable mentioned for discontinued knives:
C83 Persian
G10/VG10 Caly3
Dodo
Kopa
Chinook
 
The stretch should be mentioned more often. IMO its the most underated knife out there!


1. Stretch
2. Delica
3. Para 2
4. Sage 2
5. Caly 3/3. 5 or the GB
 
My five would be:

1. Military
2. Paramilitary
3. Gayle Bradley
4. Delica
5. Sage (any)
 
Sage 1, Caly3, Rock Lobster, Sage 2 , and Military.

I daily carried the Caly3 for a long time, before it was displaced by the Sage 1. The Rock Lobster and Military are occasional specific carry, and the Sage 2 is just a damn fine knife. I have another 20 or so knives in a drawer that i was convinced I needed for one reason or another. The only non Spyderco in daily rotation is a Case Peanut for dress wear.
 
Endura ZDP or VG10 FFG
Military Ti/CPM M4/ or Gayle Bradley CPM M4
CF Stretch ZDP
Caly 3.5 Super blue sprint
Paramilitary 2 S90V

New:
Valloton 3.75 inch S30V
Native 5 S35VN
 
Probably should ask someone who owns or has onwed a lot of Spydercos (JJ?); I would think an Endura would be on there but haven't owned enough of the others to hazard an opinion.
 
1 Gayle Bradley

2 FRN FFG Delica/Endura

3 the Stretch

4 Ladybug (pretty much the only quality keychain knife)

5 Manix 2

These knives were chosen and ranked purely out of personal preference and that was the only grading criteria used.
 
1) Para 2
2) Military
3) Manix 2
4) Endura
5) Sage 2

Paramilitary 2 has been my EDC lately and love it works for everything
 
Three Paramilitary 2's and two Militaries. I have others, but they don't count, IMHO. Yes, I know...I'm biased. :)

Current top 5:
1. Ti Mili
2. D2 Para
3. Grey Lum Tanto
4. G10 Police
5 ( but most carried!) E4 waved.
 
1. S90V/CF Para Military 2
2. Gayle Bradley
3. M4/Ti/G-10 Military
4. ZDP-189 Stretch
5. Sage 2
 
Para Military 2
Delica
Endura
Ladybug

These four are really the primary knives of Spyderco's claim to fame IMO... a 5th could be the police?
 
I'm biased toward smaller knives. My favorites:
- Chaparral: thin and light, but big enough
- Caly 3: very nice for the price, especially in CF
- UK Pen Knife: smooth and light slippy
- Dragonfly: small but stout; I have the ZDPP-189 and H1 versions
- Kiwi 3: love the blade shape and scales
