whats YOUR favorite spyderco and why?

Endura 4, pe, flat sabre grind. A total workhorse that never fails in use and sometimes surprises me at just how much it can take. I've owned and used versions one through 4 and, even though all were top notch, the fourth version seems uncannily perfect.
 
I can't believe no one put down the copilot! I think I went about a ten year stretch were I never left the house without my copilot. Many times in combo with the police md# carried IWB.

Native 5

Fits my hand perfectly and I love the big slab of steel for the spine. Lockback + smooth pivot + finger choil + reversible clip = lefty heaven. Go buy one.
 
This is the only spyderco; I dig it.

Caly 3. The only one that I have is in Superblue steel.

It was the Caly 3.5 but I have recently moved to the smaller option. Had both VG10 and ZDP versions. Very sorry to see the VG10 option disappearing...

Favorite Spyderco? That's a hard one because there are so many. I can't go with a single model so bear with me...I have to list three (and that's ignoring several others I really, really like).

1. Dragonfly. Any handle material or blade steel. It's the model I carry daily. Will do most cutting jobs I normally need to do.
2. Gayle Bradley. The Spyderco to reach for when I know I have some work to do that involves cutting a lot of stuff.
3. Centofante 3. Its thin blade is like a laser and the narrow profile and light weight make it easy to carry.
 
Endura 4 because I use it the most for yard work and never worry about it getting beat up. It always takes a nice edge afterwards.
 
Persian(Black or Red Micarta).... Love the weight, the sweep of the blade and its a fantastic slicer....no matter what you're slicing.
 
Tough call, some Spydercos feel ridiculous in my hand, others feel like they were built just for me.

I think the Delica, Techno, and Sage are my favorites.

Don't ask me to choose a favorite among those two. Too close to call.
 
Gayle bradley for me. Replaced the cf zdp189 stretch as my favorite spyderco. Russ
 
I love my Para 2 but one Spyderco I think gets over looked is the Native ... its rock solid and feels good in hand
 
The Spyderco Bushcraft, it has the best handle ergonomics of any knife I've ever held. So good it's almost freaky.

Complete respect for the delica and endura. Everyone should at least try one. Ive been using the trainers for three years and they are awesome. With that said, ive owned three live delicas over the years, and for some odd reason they never really spoke to me so i always ended up getting rid of them. Strange ...

Anyway, current fave is PM2. Unfortunately, i had to get rid of mine awhile back. For christmas, i had the choice between another PM2, and the Manix 2 LW. Tough choice, but i opted for the Manix to try something new. Something about it called to me. Also a plus that the lock is MBC rated. Should arrive tomorrow. Ill post my updated decision once its had some pocket time!

Sorry for the overelaborate post. Thx for reading.
