Kopa Cocobolo got me hooked on Spydies. Great knife. They were on sale @ GPK for $99.99. Too bad, I got just two of them.
FFG 2.5" blade, great ergos, nice feel in the hand. She is the beauty queen and can do job well.

My top choices Natives5, Calys, C83 Persian

Pity I can't vote for more than 1. So I voted for the Kopa :D :p

I also love my Ladybugs & Lavas.

For me the Cricket is king.
They're all great of course but the Cricket takes the title because of it's one of the smallest knives on the list, definitely the thinnest, if has fantastic ergonomics, a great blade shape for EDC and to top it all of, there really isn't a friendlier looking knife.

I voted Cricket, but the Spin is a close second.

Is the Dodo considered a LBK??? If it is, change my vote.

The cricket is king, with the Ladybug in second. Mainly because these are the 2 I have the most experience with, but they are affordable extremely small and can cut almost anything.

My favorite little big knife is the G-10 Navigator but since it wasn't listed there, I voted with the Ladybug, which is a **** fine knife anyway. I don't think there is another company to offer such a small knife with steel even remotely similar to VG-10 or H1 :D

I was limited to only 10 knives when creating the poll, so I stuck with the more current production LBK series, even then I could not fit all of them.

I voted for the Urban; specifically, the orange Wharncliffe version. I got in a shipment yesterday, but I wasn't planning on keeping one for myself. I couldn't resist, though :rolleyes:

It is one sweet little knife.

I vote for the CLB Lava, as thats the only small one I have ;) I prefer longer blades, usually.

Ditto that!

I went Ladybug because, of the ones listed, it's the one I carry and use the most. It's ALWAYS with me.

I may like several of the others "better" but they never seem to be with me when I need a knife.

The D'fly is my favorite, but I will admit that there has been a Ladybug in my pocket almost every day for a couple months now.

I'm kind of surprised that I don't carry any of the knives on your list. The Dodo is by far my favorite LBK. It gets a lot of carry time.

I can't wait to get my hands on the Urban.

Sweet Tom! I really like this one too. This may be on the (very) short list for me this year.

As for my fave LBK, I voted Lava. :cool:
