I reckon there are plenty of folks here in the Spydie forum who own 5, 10, and even more spydies... just wondering, with your experience, what you find the best for your EDC needs and why?...

I have owned and traded/lost many Spydercos and have found where my own personal preferences have lead me... just interested in what you folks have to say! THANKS!
 
Dragonfly and Saver Salt SE. These two meet most of my needs day to day. The Dragonfly gets used a lot, even at work (hospital). The Saver gets used outside almost daily. This weekend it really got beat up. Both of them are smaller, light weight and feel incredible. When I mountain bike or hike, I throw the Tenacious in too. Love em all.

Pacific Salt, is all I pack out of my Spydies. It hasn't let me down yet!

This week - PE Dodo - FG Ukpk - Stretch II - and Green FRN Jester
Next week - Not decided
 
The CF/ZDP Caly3 has been locked into my pocket lately .... SE Salt I is my usual work knife, although sometimes a Tenacious.

Other Non work carry Spydies: Tasman SE, UKPK, D4W, Captain in custom horizontal belt sheath, Soon as I get another Para (I am really looking for a D2 Model if someone wants to trade) that will go back into the rotation.

SOG Micron on my Keychain (it's thinner and flatter than the Bug or my Keycomm, so it hides in the keys), and the "PicComm" (wharcomm with lexan scale with the kids pic underneath) as a money clip, and the Moonglow scaled SubClaw are the other knives I carry regularly.
 
always tasman -rotate full size manix endura and captain(but mostly endura monday through friday) -occasionally a civi to spice things up
 
edc D2 Para Millie, weekends all black Millie,or Stretch ll

Black Lum ZDP, CF Millie, Yojimbo, Perrin in the order of how bad @$$ I feel my EDC need be........mostly the LUM :}
 
CF/ZDP-189 Caly 3 in the right front pocket. Lava in the back right pocket. I've found this to be an excellent combo. If I feel I want something larger than the Caly 3 I will sometimes carry a PE waved Endura or a CE Military. The Lava lives in my back pocket though, at work or out.
 
My PE yellow Pacific Salt hasn't left my pocket in about seven months. Took a bit to get used to the size (I was thinking of the Salt 1 when I clicked 'Add to Cart'. Oops hehe), but now I can't really imagine using any other large folder, with the exception of my OHT when hiking or camping. I usually pair it with a GEC Barlow, a two bladed jack knife with a 2" spearpoint and a 1" clip blade. Sadly, I want to get a yellow handled peanut slipjoint so that the handles will match.
 
Depending on where I am and what I need in no particular order - for utility:
all PE: Tenacious, Delica 3, Orange Military (or other Militaries), and Black Lum Chinese ZDP.
 
depends on how ya define collector but my fav is the ti ATR, and i have had a lotta spydies thru the yrs.
 
Lately I've been packing nothing but my D2 Paramilitary - I just can't help myself - every morning when I reach into my knife collection out comes that darn Para! Who knows, maybe it's fate...;)
 
got a rock lobster recently, so i'll be edcing that when i do edc a spyderco... but i think it's way too large.

that's vs. emerson cqc14, which probably doesn't really give you a good idea in regards to size. it's a little larger than an SNG if that helps.
