What is your favorite Little Big Knife?

Haven't handled many of the little big knives, but the Navigator or Copilot were some good ones. The Lava is a nice one as well, but it's a lot more money for what you get.
 
The now defunct Jester is my favorite little big knife and maybe my favorite Spyderco of all. For some reason, my favorite production knives tend to get discontinued by the manufacturer (BM AFCK, Spyderco Perrin, and a host of others) :confused:
 
My only "small" Spydercos are a Salsa and a UKPK. I like them both but was surprised by the Salsa. Looking at photos I never cared for it, but the ergos are secure and comfortable, I really like both the cobra hood and compression lock and even the stubby blade has grown on me.
 
And the winner is (if anyone is interested)
First Place - tie w/ 6 votes each - Dodo, Dragonfly
Second Place - tie w/ 5 votes each - Lava, Polliwog, Cricket
Third Place - 4 votes - Copilot
 
Let us break the tie. My dodo sees more use than any other folder I own. It is my favorite! Bring back the DODO!!!! :D

The FRN Dragonfly and the MeerKat, although the D'fly sees a lot more pocket time. Lately I've been carrying two, one SE and one PE.

I can't ever remember anyone mentioning the Meerkat before. This was my first ever Spyderco and I thought it was a great little knife. (Do they still make them?)

The locking mechanism was a great novelty at first but, after a while, I found it a bit fiddly. Still, if you haven't got one, go for it, I think it would make a great addition to anyone's Spyderco collection.
 
Spin/Poliwog
Poliwog shape reminds me of a shrunk down Native.
I wish they did a smaller lock release on the cricket

+1 on the Meerkat! I picked one up at a gunshow some time ago, early production with CC number, 440C, made in Golden. Cute as a bug, great for bar-bets (bet you can't. . . ) and ergos that are way bigger than its size!!
