2) Caly 3.5 (any steel)
3) Manix 2 LW, SPY27
4) Mule (many steels)
5) Manix 2 CruWear

7) Caly Jr FRN ZDP
8) Air M4
9) Sage 5 LW in M4
10) Small Persian
11) Yang in VG-10 (used daily!)

I thought it's about our most used ones this year?

[Bolster]

...double post...

[Bolster]

I thought it's about our most used ones this year?

Maybe so! I went back to what I thought was the original thread to understand the purpose of the thread, but maybe I still missed the point...

I used to do this on a semi annual basis and it's been a while since I've posted my TOP 10 favorite Spyders of all time. But I've now compiled a top 10 list of my favorite Spyderco knives of all time...OK, OK!!! I hear all of you :rolleyes: :D I know that most of my picks are older models>> Well So What??!!! They are my personal top 10 favorites and until a newer model de-thrones one of my top 10 favorites then that's just the way it will be...

I've been listing my favourite spydercos that I own each year, not purchased in the year. It's a fun way to see how much your interests change year over year.

If you take a look at mine, they havent changed much since the previous year haha
