whats YOUR favorite spyderco and why?

The Delica. I love my Delica 4, great great EDC knife. I guess my all time favorite Delica is the Delica 1, love the clip being made as part of the handle and I prefer the pointer tip.
 
Gayle Bradley!!

The para has a huge following and I have owned a few of them. I prefer the GB...

+1. The materials used and geometry of the blade are fantastic. Plus, I like the simple but bold design and stocky build.
 
It's funny, I enjoy and admire the Gayle Bradley for its many attributes; e.g. cuts like crazy and good looks and terrific fit + finish etc., but the Anso Zulu is the one that I use the most. The Zulu fits my hand perfectly, gets crazy sharp and it draw cuts effortlessly.

Note: For those that open zombie threads, I've since traded the Gayle Bradley for a Techno and sold the Zulu. The Techno is my new favorite.

I grab my Superleaf more than any other model. Has so many of the things I love about the Para 2, but with more beef.
 
Only spyderco I've got is an FFG endura. I guess you could say it's my favorite because it's the one I chose to purchase over all the others due to it's superb value. Great 3.5" knife for $40, next up will probably be a Paramilitary 2

not a bad place to start! lol. my first spyderco was a tenacious.
 
Military M4, because size and steel matter.

Manix -- the real Manix -- because size really matters.

Lava, because size isn't everything. Erogos matter.
 
It's almost impossible to for me to pick my favorite Spyderco. I have way too many of them. I'll name the one that gets the most pocket time, the Michael Walker. It's extremely thin, light, and almost completely disappears in my pocket. It's not the most ergonomic of their line. But, I love the blade shape, grind, and thin carbon fiber handle scales. The ZDP-189 takes and holds an excellent edge for a long time. For 99% of my edc requirements, I don't need anything larger.
 
I'm pretty enamored with my Gayle Bradley right now. My most carried Spydie is the Para 2 by leaps and bounds. The Military is pretty awesome too (can't wait for my M390 CF). I don't know if I can pick a clear favorite.
 
Para2, but my SE Tasman salt is the single best one use knife I own absolutely nothing cuts rope faster.
 
No-brainer for me, all-Ti M4 Military:

Military. Nothing even comes close. Grab it when I really need a knife - cuts carpet, fish, kitchen stuff, and I can also do fine work with it at the desk like cut out an article or somesuch. Been hooked since I read Buzzbait's review about a thousand years ago - got it then and have been through a lot of knives since, but still have the same Military and it has never failed me in any way. Sal deserved to go into the Blade HofF just for that design.
 
Tough choice. Delica 4 is just the right size and does everything I ask. Para 1 is so close I do not want to have to choose. Edge to Delica 4 for legal carry laws in LA.
 
My current favorite is the Sprint G-10 J.D. Smith. It's extremely comfortable in the hand and slices like a lazer. The fine pointy tip is not designed for heavy stuff but for light to medium duty "knife work" it's a great tool.

I like the Ti Military with the CPM S90V blade. The only problem is you have to buy two knives to make this particular combination.
