Paramilitary 2
Bug (everyone needs a bug on their keychain)
Tenacious

next ones on the wish list...
Southard
Delica
Endura
Lionspy
 
Para2
Delica
Dragonfly
Endura

One substitute is the dragonfly delica endua switched for a manix of your choosing
 
New to knives myself I too fell in love with Spyderco's my top five with a year and a half of experience are as follows.
Tenacious
PM2
Manix
Ladybug
Sage2
 
From today's lineup:

PM2
Delica/Endura/Dragonfly (too similar to name separately)
Domino (Best of the Sage series with great flipping action)
Techno
Gayle Bradley

And if possible, I'd get each one in a different steel. Domino and techno are both XHP though.
 
Civilian______________ My first expensive Spyderco Blade from MANY years ago,lol
Military______________PM2 a close 2nd, but I like the bigger blade!)
Southard____________This one a hit out of the park for me!!
Gale Bradley_________I said WOW when I first picked one up!!!!!!!
Techno_____________cool little blade, love the Ti Handel


I haven't handled a Domino yet, and Yojimbo almost made the list.

Spyderco, Keep ROCKING!!
