I've got a D'Allara, a Assist, and I'm wanting to expand my Spyderco collection a little bit. Choices:
Spyderco Military- Black Plain Edge
Spyderco Military, Carbon Fiber Handle, S90V, Plain
Spyderco Para Military Model Black Plain
Spyderco Police 3 G-10

Now, I love G-10, so I'm not sure how much I (or my wallet) am going to like the CF handled Military. The Para is there because I have several liner locks, but no compression lock, and I was wondering how that would be.
I also prefer the tip up carry on my knifes, but the tip down/left hand option is one that I like. Maybe a 4 way millie in the works? :)
I am looking to EDC this knife, as I will use it heavily. I don't have a knife in S30V yet, so I'm leaning towards the black millie. However, how does the S90V compare in terms of edge retention and ease of resharpening? I've heard that the blade tends to be more brittle and chip more readily then VG-10 or S30V.
 
Definitely Military in S90V! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

My EDC knife.! :):):)

That new Police 3 with G10 handle is REAL NICE! I would go for it. Good Luck! Kevin :thumbup:
 
This is what you need to do: Buy every knife you've listed.

Then, post all sorts of pictures of your new knives.

Then, come up with a list of 10 more knives you want to acquire before the month's end, and we'll argue over which are the best choices (the best choice being all of them, really).

Then, you post more pics.

Fun, eh?

Click to expand...

:rolleyes: I wish. You can donate to my Spyderco fund if you want. :cool: Then you'd get some awesome pics.
 
Can't go wrong choosing any of those knives. I'd go with the S90V (or BG42) Military or the Para-Mil. What Changchi108 said, really!
Good luck.
 
Out of that list, you've got my EDC (or very close to it) in there. A PE Para-Military. They are bomb-proof, perfect-sized EDC blades and you won't be disappointed with it. The compression lock is awesome. It's strong as hell, and easy to manipulate. I find myself constantly playing with mine, trying out different ways to close it with either hand. The only difference is mine has a satin blade, not black.
 
I've got that 2 weeks and this is awesome and usable edc folder.
