Military, then another Military, then a Para. :D

If you prefer lockbacks, I would grab a Caly3 plain. Not CF. Reason for this is I had a CF Caly3 and it looked so nice I only carried it when dressing up. Didn't use it nearly as much as I should have. Get the standard Caly3 and you'll hopefully use it more. The design is exceptional and really needs to be used to appreciated.

Josh,
You can't go wrong with a Caly3 of either configuration, IMO. But, I've had both and the CF is a much superior knife. Lighter, better steel, and the CF is nice and easy on the draw (doesn't hang up like the G10 Caly3 used to, esp. with the wire clip and all). I sold my G10 Caly3, thought I'd never go back to that design. But a sweet deal on a CF Caly3 fell in my lap, and I couldn't turn it down. It is a pretty knife, and I love pulling it out just to admire it. But it's also a fantastic EDC, and I haven't hesitated to pull it out once since I've carried it, and for some pretty dirty jobs at that. It may just be the ultimate EDC. It's been subbing for my D2 Para while it's out being modded, and truth be told I haven't missed the ol' Para. Well, maybe a little bit:D But if you get a good deal on a CF Caly3, I say do it!
 
Depending on what you're using them for, I'd definitely get the Caly. I don't have one, but I love the flat grind and the blade shape so I'll get one eventually. However, I highly recommend you getting some H1 steel. My personal recommendation is the Salt 1, I love this knife. It and my Saver Salt are my current EDC's (I rotate them). They are workers, users, beaters, and don't cost a whole heck of a lot. I"m also waiting anxiously for the Persistence (3/4 Tenacious). Can't wait for that. Good luck.

I just put my preorder in for the vg-10 and green almite handled lum chinese. I hope its as nice as it looks in the pictures.

From your list; military.
 
I'd get the Military (Oranges are still available too) then a D2 Para (still available at a fair price from a favorite dealer) then a Caly of some flavor . . . That order.

Depends. Out of the ones you have do you carry the Endura? Reason I ask is because I had one and found it too big for EDC. If you like the Endura then the Military is in order. With that said, I would go for the Caly CF first then a Para.
 
Well I found a deal on a D2 Para so I jumped on it. Now... Military, Sage or Caly3? I really want a Military.. but love the look of the Sage and Caly3 (with a slight lean towards the Sage).

Military. It's the perfect knife, im(not so humble)opinion. So many things about it appeal to me on a variety of levels.

I'm waiting for one in H1, M4, and a 1095 Millie with wood scales. :D
 
One more vote for the Military. I have lots of folders including Reeves, Microtechs, Benchmades and many other Spyderco models but the Mili gets the most pocket time-especially for hiking and camping use.
 
Wow! You guys are making this hard.. MILITARY IT IS!!!

Is there one out there that is worth having over the others?

Look for an Orange one, or an S90V one. Those are going to be worth more in time.
