What is (was) Spyderco’s best model(s)?

My vote goes to the Para-Military-1 or 2 (Para-1 first, Para-2 second); followed by the Manix-1 (didn’t care for the M-2:foot:), Lil’ Temp and Ti. ATR. Maybe a Chinook-2 (or 1 {albeit very heavy for a folder – but its lock-up makes up for the weight, IMO} – I love a saber-grind) should be in the top-3. What say you???
 
Without question, the Ocelot. It was my first quality knife, and because I lost it due to a broken clip, I can look back and imagine it even better than it already was.
 
Para 2, didn't care for the original. Manix 2, wasn't fond of original because it was just heavy which I think gave the illusion of strength. I'm sure its really strong but bet the M2 has a lock that is even stronger as long as you take the time to put threadlocker on the pivot, and in a lighter package. The Stretch 2 is great especially the CF model. And the Caly 3 rounds out my favorites.
 
Three great Spydies I like to use: Military, Chinook, UKPK. And probably twenty others that get hauled out and played with from time to time. :p
 
The Clay 3 takes the cake in the 3" category, for regular size folders the Military is probably it.
 
I think I would have to say any of the Endura and Delica series. The Endura was my first Spyderco and after that I really feel in love with the Delica series. I still have my first Delica, made with G2 steel and FRN handle and clip. I lost my Endura though, never replaced it because of how much I liked my Delicas. Thinking of gettingh an Endura 4 soon though.
 
For me, they're the Stretch, Chaparral, and Kiwi. There's always at least one, and most often two, of them in my pockets any time I walk out my door.
