What's your favorite US-made Spyderco?

[JarrodS]

I've been picking up a Spyderco here and there and realized I'm now on my way to a collection. But so far it so happens that they are all Japan or Taiwan models. So I'm thinking a Golden Colorado model (or two) should be next on my list. So what are some of your favorite US-made Spydercos? It might be helpful to take into account what I already have, which is:

Delica 4 Ti/damascus
Endura 4 stainless/fully serrated
Endura 4 ZDP-189
Caly 3.5 carbon fiber/ZDP-189
Sage 2
Sage 4

As you can deduce from the above - I'm not big on the look of FRN handles, so unless the knife has some other "special" feature like the San Mai ZDP-189 blade on the Endura those are a bit of a hard sell to me.

I wanted to add an H1 blade, but I think all those are once again Japanese!

Manix 2, Paramilitary 2, Native 5

 

[Rare blade]

paramilitary 2

The next para 2 sprint if you can wait would be my suggestion. I recommend the production or a sprint Native 5 if you tend to prefer a smaller knife. The Manix XL has some bang for the buck if you decide to go large.

Plain S30V/G-10 Military. Big as in a 4" blade but carries small and is only 4.2 ounces.

You need a ParaMilitary 2.

 

[asmith001]

Para2 and/or Military.

 

[JarrodS]

I'm digging the Military in digital camo. But, $$$.

 

[Semper Praesidio]

Paramilitary 2

 

[Wolverine666]

Yojimbo2.

Para 2 was my third Spyderco, and I loved it so much I had to buy a second one the next week. Get the Paramilitary 2 and you won't regret it

 

[bornagainprimative]

Para 2 is my favorite knife ever it carries so lite and is great in the hand

 

[Barman1]

I'd have to say the Native 5 right now followed closely by the PM2.

 

[JNewell]

Based on your list, Para2 and/or Native 5.

My personal favorite is probably the Military, but that's a fairly large knife (but not much larger than an Endura...)

 

[blades&wrenches]

Love my Native 5!

 

[BenLong1018]

It's a tie between the Manix 2 and the Military.

I'm answering your title question, I am not considering which ones might compliment your collection best.

My favorites are the Manix XL, and the PM2. The PM2 is just an all around amazing design, but the XL is an awesome beast of a knife and a personal favorite. Also, I might have just lucked out, but my XL is perfectly flawless in F&F. The Native is another great design.

Golden Favs are: Native and Yojimbo2 ...judging by your current list, sounds like a Native with G10 would suit you well.

Exact same thing here. Manix 2 XL and PM2.

You can hardly go wrong with the Native, Manix, Para2, or Military.

The UK Penknife deserves mentioning too though. They're great little lightweight Caly 3 Slipits.
