I don't understand if you are trolling, crazy, or serious?

How about a Stretch SE? I don't have one but they look like they are an
incredible slicer.

I wonder if the lil matriarch could handle some edc tasks. It might be what you are looking for. Small, light, versatile. I don't have one, so I couldn't tell. Maybe someone else could answer. It makes a great EDC. Not quite as versatile as a traditional blade shape but far more useful than most wo...

ZDP Endura

I have a zdp189 df2 that rocks! It's also about $50 less than what a Hap40 is going for on the secondary market.

I love my GB1 and I have yet to handle a GB2 but they get great reviews as well.
My dad is battling cancer and I would bet that there are a significant number of people on this board
who could empathize. Best wishes!

JD and others, a question about D2 for knife blades and Spyderco knives in particular: I have been told by some in the knife world, and I'd like you to tell me if this is the case across the board for all UNCOATED D2 blade knives, that if uncoated and untreated, ie, straight forward D2 blades will ...

Is there a good way to force a patina on GB1? It's my favorite EDC but every time
that I try to let it develop a natural patina I develop too much rust for my comfort without pitting.
I have used it for food prep, meat cutting (I don't hunt), etc., with no luck. Thanks!

I would love one. SE LW please!

Much like many of you, I regret not buying a HAP40 sprint. I missed out on the Stretch. I either own or have reserved the rest of them and I'm going to have to work a little harder at some point to get that Stretch. National Knives still has a few: http://www.nationalknives.com/spyderco-stretch-c90...

Skipping the $150 K2.

Cruwear PM2 for me. My first chance to use Cruwear and my first Sprint PM2. That's a fun combination.

Was D2 just a phase of the most popular steel of the moment or is it still a good steel for a knife blade? Are the other steels now available just an improvement over D2? I haven't seen many Spydie offerings with D2 in a while but I don't know if that is a business/marketing decision or D2 is just a...

Large Lum for NYE and my Cruwear PM2 for New Year's day.
I hope everyone has a safe and fun 2017!!

To take possession of the knife you must agree to: 1) use the knife and enjoy it. 2) never sell it. If for some reason you don't want it anymore please gift it again. :) Well, within reason, if you have kids to feed then of course, sell it. Otherwise this is should always stay a gift. :) 3) do some...

Wow. I am overwhelmed. What an incredibly kind and generous gift. I sincerely thank both of you tremendously. I am truly at a loss for words. As for your question, I can sincerely say that what I enjoyed the most this holiday season was giving my son a HAP40 Stretch for Christmas. A BIG thank you to...

None for me but I had a blast giving my son a HAP40 Stretch!

Nishijin Lum. Beautiful knife.

I appreciate all of the answers guys. Everyone who commented knows more about the intricacies of steel than I
do. The wealth of knowledge is much appreciated.

For me: Small: DF2
Medium: GB1--my personal favorite and for me one of best knives Spyderco has ever made.
Large: Military
