For me, it's my Sage I.

Why? Because:
1. Light weight
2. Feels great in my hands
3. Love the CF scale
4. Fit nicely in my pocket
5. Price reasonable
6. Love the clip

Right this moment? Paramilitary 2. After carrying it almost everyday for 2 1/2 months, it's the best EDC knife I've ever had. I can't find one complaint about it. The action is solid and buttery smooth, the blade is just the right size and shape, and ergonomics of the handle along with the nicely beveled G-10 give it an almost pillow-like softness in the hand. I think the only thing that might eventually bump it from my pocket is the S90V Paramilitary.

But, my favorite to look at right now is the red Persian.

At this moment, has to be the Kiwi if only because there are about six dozen of them within arms length. :eek: :o :D

Spyderco Manix 83mm

Right now, it's the mini-Manix in CE. I always enjoy using it! I pulled it out again after reviewing my collection for some photos of foliage green :spyder: s. I had stashed this model in my deployment kit in my last unit, but now I'm just carrying it for EDC.

Still carrying my BobT with pearl inserted in the divots for the (removed) clip.
Slim, don't notice it in my pocket, light, opens and closes easily with one hand, just the right size, perfect blade shape for most of my cutting chores and I can get it pretty sharp. Also, it is aesthetically pleasing to my eyes.

At the mo, my Gayle Bradley is seeing the most pocket and fondling time.

It takes a stunning edge with minimal effort, "frictionless" snickety-slick opening, vault-like lock-up, aesthetic and ergonomic appeal... I could go on!

Only downside so far is the need to keep the blade lightly oiled (which only adds to its soul and character, so far.)

Without a doubt my Harpy. It is such a sick looking blade, and while there are some more bada** Spyderco knives out there, that one has a EDC value and a WOW factor that will knock a lot of people on the rear ends. It is beautiful and valuable in work, play and emergency use. It is the knife that I carry more than any other and I own 25 plus blades. I suppose a Civilian would be a choice that locks in a meaner appearance and feel, but try carrying that in a lot of jurisdictions without a concealed permit. Here in Florida, they are strict about what you can bring along with you all of the time...

By the way, I am way happy this is the first post on the forums. Long live Spyderco...

At the moment, it's the Ti Lum Chinese. Classic eye pleasing design with clean lines, >3" FFG VG-10 leaf blade, smooth action, and titanium scales. It feels great in my hand, and is more practical in use than I anticipated.

It works fine for me left-handed, but I'd love a lefty version.

I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.

Manix 2 CTS-XHP...partially because I just got it and partially because it fits my hand like a glove. And I'm really liking XHP so far

Caly 3 VG10-G10 for me. Perfect size for my EDC needs. Compact, wire clip, light weight and steel that's not too hard to sharpen.

Right now, its my SS Navigator II that I just picked up. Its a perfect office EDC. Of course, that might change when my next knife comes...
