idk guys, wasn't it the native that was supposed to have been designed in the dark? IMO that best fits the spyderco mentality of design. Performance over aesthetics. Otherwise I'd say the delica/standard is the definitive spyderco.
Spyderco native - (performance over looks)
buck 110 - (iconic classic American knife)
kbar usmc - (no explanation needed)
case - large cv stockman (jack of all trades)
esee/rat rc-3 - (highest selling, best all around knife)
gerber gator - (ugly, cheap, but still a decent value)
crkt m16 - (lots of inovation between veff serations and the hawks lock, but poor steel)
kershaw leek - (ken onion design, speed safe assisted opening and good build quality for the masses)
Benchmade griptillian - ( good steel, stellar lock, terrible handle choice and great fit and finish, Haven't found one yet that didn't have a achilles heel. )
Queen Country Cousin - (bringing d2 to the old styles)
Extrema Ratio 185 RAO - (for when you need a folding fixed blade...)
Busse,scrapyard,swamprat Dog Father Types - (Thats not a knife, this is a knife...)
SOG SOGZilla - (what do you mean it looks like an endura?!)
Don't mean to be too harsh with some of those, I just think its comical how some companies behave, Still love them all
