Which spyderco you have that you would purchase to have as a backup?

The only backup/exact duplicate I have is for the Superblue Stretch. I thinned out my user with a very thin convex edge. Shortly after I bought a backup just to be safe. The user is still going strong with no sign of catastrophic failure in normal use, but having a backup freed me up to use the other one without worries.

The only one I have a duplicate of at the moment is the jade PM, but I've considered getting a back up for my Caly Jr since that was my first and is still a model I really like. Also kinda wish I got a second Leafstorm when they were still in production. Caly 3 SB is my all time fav, so I prob should have a backup for it just in case the unforseen happens, but I'm still trying to hunt down a Caly 3.5 SB. I also kinda don't want to get into the habit of backing up my favs. I'd rather spend money on new favs. :)
 
I don't have any exact duplicates, but I do have two of the following:

2 PM2, satin/camo and black/black
2 Manix 2, Cruwear & XHP
2 Caly Jr, gray plain & black serrated
2 UKPK, blue leaf plain & maroon leaf combo
2 Calys, NIB SB 3 backing up my user SB 3.5, sort of... :)

The backup I want but don't have is another lefty Military. Really hope they do another run someday, I'd take virtually any color or steel.
 
The only exact duplicate I have anymore is an unopened GB1. Man I love that knife.
 
Slysz Bowie. I'll be ok without my Delica or tenacious, or dragonfly, etc but if the Slysz were to leave I'd want a replacement waiting in the wings. Such an outstanding knife.
 
Whilst I have multiple Ladybugs, Delicas and Enduras, they shed their boxes and their unscratched surfaces a long time ago and see sunshine and use. The only exact duplicate / pre-need Spyderco replacements I have are a Centofante 3, a Caly 3 and a Large Lum. They live in in the dark, unopened in their boxes, in a safe.
 
The only exact duplicates I have are the Manix s110v LW and a Super Blue Delica.
I have not seen either knife since I moved so I hope I still have duplicates.
I'm sure they are boxed away somewhere though.
 
The only Spydercos I've got backups of are the Salts, they are most-days carry so I'd be really bummed to lose one and have to wait for the replacement...

all those in the pic below have a brother just like them in my collection

I have duplicates of my fave Spydercos : Nirvana , Yo2 and Fluted Ti Military.

And I'm KICKING MYSELF over the fact that I sold all of my Yo2 S90V/CF's. It maddens and saddens me to even think of how foolish I was in doing that.

And to Deacon , that collection is simply awesome.

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.

I agree with dog, the GB is a great EDC or backup.
