Please put you list in order of greatest to least. Mine are: 1.Vex, 2.Mini-Ambush, 3.Mini-Pika (those are the only Benchmades I own at this time, but I hope to get alot more very soon). Also, do you prefer Benchmade or Spyderco? I like Benchmade a little better.
 
I'm sure you'll get a lot of idiosyncratic replies to this one!

Here are mine: Rukus, Griptilian, Skirmish. Yes -- I do like large knives.

And I do slightly prefer BM to Spyderco. That could change with time, since I've only been a knife knut for a few months. I need a little more 'seasoning' -- heck, I don't even own a Delica yet.
 
Could everyone please use the name of the knife and the model number instead of just the model number if possible? I am not familier with all of the model numbers yet, and it takes a while to look them up.
 
I really like my Morpho, and was interested in the Gravitator Wharncliffe and the Rukus not too long ago, but my opinions have since changed. I think BM make incredible Balis, and that is probably the only kind of knife I will continue to buy from them.
 
BM42!!!!!!!!!!!!! I own and use...
Benchmade Morpho!!!!!!! I want to own...
Griptilian (any variation) I own and use...
 
With names as the gentleman requested...

850 Pardue gent's folder (no clip)
525 Pardue Mini Presidio
650 Boguszewski Spike

Tack on the 330 Pardue with pearl scales as the one I like the most that I don't own yet.

As for BM vs. Spyderco, I largely prefer Spyderco, in part due to the lack of new/recent BM models that interest me.
 
For me, it would be the following:

812 - AFCK Mini
710 - McHenry & Williams Axis
942 - Osbourne Axis
 
730 Ares -Love the the blade shape. Mine still gets lots of carry time even though I have several customs that put it to shame.
940 -Wish I hadn't sold my blue KOTM version :(
And I can't leave out the knife that pulled me into the world of high end production and custom knives. The 970 Emerson CQC7.
 
but knives i remember i have two lg skirmishes and two doug ritter grippers and i have a orig lg dark star my favort 3 would be the two ritters and eather skirmish

BM or spyderco.... :yawn:





I am just going to say this... BOTH are great knife companies and both make great products. I like spydercos folders better for the most part. BM has autos, Spyderco doesnt. BM has better fixed blades. There...


BM tops:
1. BM 175
2. BM 156
3. BM Fixed Presidio

while i am here....

Spyderco tops:
1. Chinook II
2. Manix
3. Paramilitary
 
BM 211 Activator D2
BM 921 Switchback

Can't think of a third. NRA 12800 Gaucho if I must pick one, but I haven't had much chance to use it. I like the design though.
