I have several dragonfly 2 but those are more like different flavors but I would and will get another techno before it gets discontinued.
Simply an amazing design.
 
The original bolstered Kiwi and all stainless Kiwi 2. I have the 75 shown in this photo...

...plus "tuples" of some that are not in the photo, and I'd buy more in a heartbeat if Spyderco put one or both of them back in production. :o

FWIW, I can count. I know there are 78 knives in that photo, but 3 of them don't count because they're are non-locking Kiwi 3's (AKA Chinese Gooseberries).
 
I have a few PM2s in different steels; but I think that counts.
I think I still have two Manix 2s - again, different steels.
I have a spare Military; but only because I found a frankenmillie for my project after I'd purchased the black on black.
Does thinking about getting a Gayle Bradley 2 to rescale, when I already have a Gayle Bradley, count?
 
as A back up, I have a nice endura. it's plenty stainless and light. winning combination for a back up!
 
:eek:

You win!:eek:
Here I thought one backup was a stretch.
 
Gayle Bradley (1st Gen).

I just snagged one, since they're discontinued ... what took me so long?!? It's like Spyderco made "my knife" for around the house or camp chores: perfect blade grind/steel, and angle of attack; perfect grip for super-close blade control; perfect grippy-but-won't shred your pockets carbon fiber scales; OMG I'm in love.
 
Tuff.
I just had mine reground and the 3V with a thinner profile is an animal.
If I were forced to have only one knife this would hands down be it.
As soon as I find one in my price range I'll have my spare.

I have been toying the idea of getting one as well.
Yes-- no-- now you just put me back in the camp of yes. Darn you!

I wish I'd picked up a second one when they were reasonably priced. :(
Good thing the one I have will likely take 1000 years to wear out. :D
 
At the moment I'm down to two Spydies, both PM2's. They can back each other up.
 
I have 6 Manix.
Two original big lockback Manix 1s
Two Manix 2 XLs
Two Manix 2 LW

But the only Spyderco I intentionally purchased a backup for was...the sprint run FG JD Smith. One is in the edc rota. The other tucked away for my son when he is old enough.

Gb1 or Stretch (any stretch but probably the Stretch 2). Both are friggin awesome knives!

I don't have either yet, not to mention back ups, but those are both high on my want list. Just trying to give my bank account a break after being bitten by the bug a few months ago.
