Your one favorite Spyderco knife?

My Harpy. Love my Merlin too. But like the heavier stainless handle. I use it daily and doesn't let me down. Am an hvac tech and the se hawkbills are great for what I need. Cutting wire, hose, zip ties etc... Don't have to make precision cuts and have stripped many wires with it. Plus the cool factor, it was good enough for Dr. Lecter and its good enough for me.
 
As well, I love my new PM2. I've had mine only 2 months, but the ergos, size & blade shape are perfect for my edc.
Also, Military & Native (including Cara Cara 2).
 
I am a fan of big blades starting with the autos (Citadel & Embassy) as well as my new foliage green (Barong, Military) but have been obsessed with my new CF Szabo. This blade is my hands down favorite!. Love it......

Sage 2 aside which is on my eventually try list. My two favorites so far have been the UKPK and the Delica and oddly enough I just gave away the Delica. The size, width and blade shape make for a really perfect EDC.
 
Based on the Spydies I own...I my current favorite is the Sage 2. Great EDC size, carries deep, smooth open, solid lock up, and one handed close.
 
The Stretch ZDP-189 is my favorite. The back lock may not be the most fashionable, but for a work knife it gets the job done. I can't flip it open, but it opens quickly with one hand. And it just doesn't seem to scare people like flipping a knife open. I think it lets me carry a larger blade and still be sheeple friendly. And it closes and slides back in the pocket easy too.
 
Best I can do is this. My favorite "larger" folder is the Stretch, my favorite "vest pocket" folder is the Kiwi, and my favorite "fixed blade" is the K05P Pro Cullinaire Utility Knife. Choosing a favorite between them is impossible.
 
I've had my Paramilitary 2 for about two years now and it's still my favourite knife. That being said I probably EDC my Delica FFG more frequently for two reasons. One I don't want to lose my PM2 and secondly I cut some packaging once in a store with my PM2 and I got one of those scary looks from someone standing nearby and I thought a Delica was maybe a wiser choice, smaller and less threatening in public.

I love the PM2 though, such a solid knife with great blade steel and so far I found about 6 or 7 different ways of opening it, which I don't think you can say about any other knife.
 
I own so many spydies. I edc either my pm2 or the Native 5, at work I carry the Manix 2 and I have my old native 3 in my work bag. I love the yojimbo 2, my matriarch w/ the wave, and I had to get the civilian because of how interesting it was. When in the bush, I even have the Bushcraftuk offering...

My absolute favorite knive, the knife that got me into collecting knives, and made me seek out edged weapon training is the P'kal. There is nothing like it.
 
Southard with str clip, I hated the original clip.

A very difficult question.
There are so many great models that I rotate for pocket time but if I have to pick a fave I would go with the Military in Cruware.
 
My digicam/satin PM 2 is the one I keep coming back to no matter what else I get and carry for a while, so I guess it's that one. I carried a digicam/satin PM for years before the PM 2 came out. I still like the original PM a little better. I wish they had left the PM blade alone and shaped and shortened the handle a bit to make it look like the PM 2 in a smaller package, but I still carry it more than anything else so I guess I'm not too bothered by the changes.
