I'm considering from this list.

Combative edge m1
Al mar sere 2000
Dendra defender
Spyderco superleaf
Spyderco gayle bradley


No specific purpose for these knives besides carry and I like them all. Can only get one right now though until probablly the summer so it'll be a while before I'm in the market for a new one.
 
Have owned all but the combative & dendra. I would personally take the Gayle Bradly (only one I still have) though still not my fav. Beautiful knife, its edge is amazing (atleast mine is). Have used it lightly for a while with no need for touch up. And this applies to the Al mar and superleaf, all were just a bit too chunky for me. I prefer a slightly more slender frame myself but would feel completely satisified if any three were my only option :thumbup: The one thing Ive seen people complain a few times about the bradly is the liners stick out past the slabs. It has a somewhat sharp unfinished angle which I prefer as it adds a IMO better more secure grip. If not mistaken it was designed with that in mind too.

I have all of them.

I say Gayle Bradley. A tad on the heavy side and the lock release is a little inconvenient but the thing is a beast of a cutting machine.

Dendra Defender flips a little better than my Tiger Jump and Deer Hunter.

I had high hopes for the Combative Edge M1 but the flipper doesn't work without wrist-assist, detent is too strong to open via thumb studs and any pressure on the lock bar prevents closing. It has a nice thin profile.

SuperLeaf has been discontinued but can still be found.

My Al Mar Mini SERE 2000 is nice but kind of overpriced in this lot.
