What's Your Favorite Compression Lock Spyderco?

[Lenny]

As the title says, what's your fave?

Can't decide between the Caribbean SE sheepfoot and the PM2 Maxamet. The Caribbean is more capable, but I like the custom scales and the Maxamet on my PM2. Also, Golden comp. locks > Taichung comp. locks.

Comp. locks with pivot bushing on Kapara cqi (especially) & Sage 5 frn are a bit better than any Golden comp. locks.
Caribbean has a stronger blade tip, very comfortable in hand, not so dropshutty as pm2.

Wolfspyder. And I still wish it was a linerlock.

The Ikuchi. I think the unique "wheel" flipper works really well with the compression lock.

The original Paramilitary--one of my all-time favorite Spydercos.

Right now its the Caribbean sheepsfoot, but if I could EDC a Kapara it might be that. I can't EDC the Carib, but its a good fishing knife, and my locale requires "lawful excuse"

Lawful excuse, what is that, where are you?

Sunshiny coast of Oz makes me think Australia. A place that started out as a British penal colony and has gotten more restrictive since then.

PM3LW for the way it just disappears in any pocket - even summertime shorts.

Yep, Australia. I have very few actual carry restrictions, balis, autos, as you'd expect for a lot of places. I just need "lawful excuse" so for example I can EDC a SAK or MT because they are just obviously useful, and if I'm fishing I can carry a knife for that, I have a knife in my lunch kit, etc. There are a few rules on what "lawful excuse" is not, such as self defense, which makes sense overall, I think that's a grey area, and not worth discussing at the moment.
