A Southard flipper with full titanium handle scales (a la Marcin Slysz's Techno) is my dream knife. Seems easier to manufacture too.

What I'm seeing is just how diverse everyone's tastes, needs, and preferences are. Having only held only maybe 4 different Spydercos ever, I'm learning of new models everytime I check in on the forums, and what different things people like about them.

OKO Grail

If you could only own and use one knife for EDC, what would be your One-Knife-Only Grail production knife from Spyderco?*/** Mine doesn't exist (yet), but with the recent developments seen in Amsterdam, I can see all the pieces are in play. It just needs Spyderco's web of influence to connect the do...

I concur with the Caly 3/3.5 in CF votes. It's a good fit for fancy outings.

I like to carry a larger knife and a smaller knife and also a clean one and a dirty one. I do a lot of food prep with mine ( i'm almost a vegetarian, only eating meat a couple of times a month) so I use my knife on lots of produce. I love to eat raw fruits and veggies and they make up more than hal...

Thanks for all the input everyone! I'm learning quite a bit about possible models in Spyderco's lineup. Looks like some people like to theme-carry too.

If I had unlimited funds, I'd probably toy with some combos like: Gayle Bradley/GB Air, Tuff/Lava, Pingo/Rock Lobster

1. All Spyderco knives :eek: This was before my enlightenment, when I was looking into slim and sleek and tacticool. The Spydey-hole hump was a turn off, but the fit and finish of the other brands I was looking into at my price range was even more of a downer. So I bit the bullet on a PM2 and boy ho...

What's your every day Bert & Ernie combo?

For those that EDC multiple knives, what's your go-to Spyderco Bert & Ernie combo? I work in an office environment, so there is frequent mail/package opening where an Ernie (short, sheeple-friendly) more than suffices for 95% of knife use (which is like <5% of the day). But for the occasional fo...

1. Techno

I am not ashamed of my list.

I just said goodbye to a Para-Military2 today. I would like to say hello to a Southard.
