I predict you will like the Sage 1 the best. The ergos on the Sage series are superb. Not that the other two are slouches. I just finished ordering the Sage 4, it will complete the series for me.

Both are absolutely great knives and you can't go wrong with either. A lot of very good points have already been made. I will add this, the Sage 1 is beautiful with the carbon fiber and the polished steel liners, it is more people friendly in that respect. IMO the PM2 is more utilitarian, more tacti...

Ummm.... ALL of them. If I had to choose just one it would be the Downing, followed closely by the Mini Daws.

I have sold somewhere around 30 knives in the Bladeforums Exchange and never had a single issue. I use PayPal to collect payment. I suppose I could get more from evilBay but I hate all the fees they charge you and listing the item takes longer. It has been well worth the fee for the Gold Membership.

Tenacious PE, still one of the smoothest knives I own. It opens buttery smooth, better than many of my $100+ knives. I will never get rid of it.

I have two: a CRKT M16-12ZER EMT that has a belt cutter, glass break, etc... Perfect knife for the truck I think. I also have a Leatherman Wave, another must have.

First: Tenacious
Latest: Delica 4 ZDP-189

I think the biggest surprise for me is how my tastes have changed from large tactical type folders to smaller folders that are easier for me to EDC. I also enjoy the knife community as a whole, there are some great people here.

+1 on the Techno (I love mine), Titanium build, CTS-XHP steel, 4mm thick blade, ~2.5" length. The only downside is the scales might be slicker than some like. The Delica is a great option, especially if you can get your hands on the G10 version. I don't have a Native 5 so I can't speak to it, b...

Just got mine today too! I love the thick blade and compression lock. I am hoping it isn't really discontinued, maybe they are coming up with a new model with some modifications (Superleaf 2)? The Superleaf is one of the first knives from Spyderco I really wanted, but for some reason never bought, u...

Any Military with a tip-up/rh pocket clip. I am seriously dumbfounded by this.
Stretch with the carbon fiber, M4 steel, compression lock, open construction with blued stand offs, wire clip.
Centofante 3 with colored G10 (blue or orange) OR with an Anso patterned handle..
Titanium Para 2.

The Para 2 is simply awesome and would be my choice. They are very hard to find right now though, no one seems to know why... The Ulize is brand new so will be around for at least a couple years I would think. The Police 3 is not going anywhere.

I have always liked the Persian 2, I seriously hope they bring it back in some form with a different handle material. The PPT absolutely needs a new pocket clip. I had to order the Superleaf and the Breeden though, something about those knives speak to me. :)

I was just thinking to myself the other day that they needed to make the Delica and Endura in orange. Who says dreams don't come true! I plan on getting one or both. Knifecenter will have them on their site sometime today as well. Note to Spyderco, please make a version with a black blade. That woul...
