Top 3 Spydercos???
"Too many was too many, but way too many was just right."
SS PE Rookie - love the G10 version but it could stand to be a little thinner - which I hear the SS version is
PE Lil' Temp - because it's the Lil' Temp! :D
PE CF Dragonfly - because the SS doesn't EDC well in dry weather - and I can't be without a D'fly (and don't like integ clips)
I can name a half dozen easy that'd knock these off the top of the list from last Saturday's Amsterdam show -- concepts and protos we can't quite talk about yet.

It's better to have knife and not need it than to need a knife and not have it.

Well, that's a tough one. I've gone through my old want list and shortened it up a bit, crossed out the stuff I've acquired, and added my new favorites from the pictured protos. But how to pick a top 3?
Superhawk - It's been a while since my Harpy has seen the heavy cutting time it once did partly because I'm having a **** of a time getting it to take and keep an edge (really don't want to reprofile it), and partly because the blade has too much curve toward the tip, something that I've been thinking about for some time now. I can definitely see carrying and pressing the Superhawk into serious service, and it will be nice to have G10 and a choil too! SE wouldn't hurt either :cool:
Stretch2 - The original Stretch held no appeal to me whatsoever, but this one stopped me in my tracks. Mind you, the ZDP blade has absolutely nothing to do with this; I'd actually be perfectly happy to have this one in VG10 or even [gasp!] AUS8! What got me was the tanked-out look of liners and textured CF (looked like G10 at the time) to make a really classy workhorse.
ATR - I shrugged this one off for far too long. Why do I only start to like this just a few months ago? This clearly has the "tank" quality I look for, especially the Ti.

1. Superhawk PE. Amazing model. Looks amazing as well as looks like it could tackle any hard job with ease. The Peel-Ply CF is my favorite handle material as well. Finger choil for comfort and saftey in addition to a compression lock which I have learned to love on my paramil. I can't wait to pick this baby up.
2. G-10 smallfly. I have been wanting to get a balisong lately and this version is smaller of course and the g-10 scales I think will help a lot.
3. Dragonfly FRN. This knife looks really fun and handy. I would love to get one of these.

fellyr, where in the heck did you find one? I search eBay, various forums and various knife shops online and I have yet to find one. There's a guy on eBay who continuously lists a SS PE Native but the part number indicates that it is a PS blade. I've emailed him several times and he replies back each time that it is serrated but won't change his item description. Driving me nuts when I think I've found one and then busts my bubble! Congrats on getting yours and I will definitely appreciate it if you find another one and let me know.

I'm gonna get big on sprint runs, money permitting.
1) CF SE Harpy. I think I'm days away from ordering one; i'm just waiting for a bunch of knives I ordered to arrive first.
2) ZDP Bob Lum chinese
3) CF ZDP Caly3 or the Stretch II. If the Caly3 sprint run comes first than the Bob Lum, I might end up getting the Caly3 and the Stretch II and skipping on the Bob Lum chinese.
