You are allowed only one Spyderco knife, which one?

I haven't read this thread, so I don't know if my choice is popular, but if I could only have one Spyderco, it would be a Ladybug or Jester. You can take a keychain knife anywhere a knife is legal to possess so the odds are that my Ladybugs (one sheepfoot and one plain edged) are the knives I have with me when I need one. They are also the most sheeple friendly knives I own, and that is an important consideration for many work environments.

Among regular sized knives, my favorites are: the Calypso jr., Centofante III, and Paramilitary.
 
Here are the votes. For the people who put more than one knife I used personal judgement. Most of the time I gave their first pick one point and their second pick a half a point. Here they are. Feel free to post more, I can always edit.

1. Calypso Jr - 11 1/2 points

2. Military - 9 1/2 points

3. Delica - 7 points

4. Spyderfly - 5 points

5. Native - 4 1/2 points

6. Para Military - 4 points

7. We had a lot of 3 pointers.

Thanks for writing in your replys everyone and again, I had to use judgement for some of these points, so don't hold it against me :) If anyone missed their chance to participate feel free to jump in and I'll edit accordingly.

Interesting, very interesting. I noticed the Meerkat didn't feature in there at all.

I only own two Spydercos, the Meerkat and the Cricket, and I like them both for different reasons. I often carry my Meerkat around and the Cricket is pretty much permanently clipped inside the top pocket of my Winter jacket.

Maybe I'm weird.
 
PE delica.
1) practical utility size
2) price tag promotes proper use
3) light yet rugged
4) feels great in hand and pocket
5) razor sharp VG-10
6) fastest opening and closing folder made (for me)
7) no bladeplay
8) no frills
Ive owned SNG's, Sebenza's, BM's... ALL nice but Im always thinking about them (am I gonna damage it? Am I gonna loose it? Am I gonna get it taken away? Well dont get me wrong I appreciate VERY fine knives, but the delica is ALL I ever need. I feel its the best EDC produced.
 
Buzzbait : very interesting and informative review. I like the fishing knife concept !!! :D

Dang, Buzzbait -- my fave is still the gray Calypso, Jr, but that review you wrote is incredible. Worthy of a Pulitzer! :p

Thanks.
