I posted this question in the Kershaw forum as well. But, what do you think are the 3 flagship models for Spyderco? I know there's a lot of love for the Para 2. Maybe the Military and the Manix? What do you guys thinks? What are your top 3?
 
Top 3
Flagships, I would think the Endura, Native, and Military... And everyone has a Tenacious.
Personal: Stretch, Native5, PM2
 
For me personally I think

1. Para Military 2
2. Endura/Delica 4 (maybe Tenacious instead)
3. Sage series

To me these knives all have the look and feel that screams Spyderco
 
Delica/Endura - because of their utility, evolution, and they are exemplars of the brand
Paramilitary 2 - because it is so awesome in so many ways
Civilian - because it is so unique and purpose driven
 
I don't know how you are defining the meaning of Flagship. It could mean the 3 knives that made spyderco what it is today. Or the ones that sold the most since they started. Or the ones all other were based from ........ect.

To me the flagship three are not the ones that the most popular today. Like the the chinese made Native, Southard ect.

But they are

1) Delica- one of the early and probably the most sold spyderco
2) Police 1 SE- mucho grande popluar in the 80's and 90s.
3) Military- the para II's grandfather
 
Flagship? The Military, Endura/Delica, and Southard.

Personally? The Military, Manix 2, & Gayle Bradley.
 
Native 5 - perfect EDC in my opinion
Military - go big or go home, if i was only allowed to own one folder this would probably be it
Delica - not much to say here, one of the greats
 
My top 3 Spydercos in order are :

(1) Yojimbo2 - I am in love with this knife. Aside from the one I carry everyday , I now have a "bunch" of back-ups still in the box. Just in case. Haha.
(2) Manix2 - Loved it since it's debut. Even more now that it has S30V.
(3) Native5 - My favorite "smaller" edc. That satin finish spacer and lock are so sexy.

Honorable mentions :
-Para2 - A nice knife and very popular. And although I like it , I just don't think it's worthy of all the hype it receives. Like I said : I LIKE it. I don't LOVE it. I have 2 and they are just fine.
-Chaparral - A great small , discreet edc. Made very well and very attractive.
