5 Most Popular Spyderco Knives Ever Made?

#1

Post by zunedog31 »

What do you think are the most successful/popular/groundbreaking/best selling/ knives made by Spyderco?

I am new to :spyder: so i was just picking out my very first knife. My guess as a noobie is Tenacious, Manix, Delica, Endura and Para 2.

What do you guys say?

My co-noob guess would be that your guess was correct, or at least pretty close. ;)

Delica and Endura - both have been around for 21 years.
Military - 15 years and still going strong
Native - 13 years in the lineup

Correct. He is one and the same. A rare breed that descends down to our ranks on this forum on very frequent occasions to talk and share with us. He shows a great amount of concern for customers... you will see it the more you read on here. You will also see how much brand loyalty that concern breeds. :spyder: is the best through and through. Mostly thanks to that man. And some sick knives haha

Paul's lineup seems dead-on to me.

For me the Harpy probably would displace the Police just because it did so much for unconventional blade shapes and serrations. It's a close one though and the Police is pretty special historically.

The only one on that list I have doubts about is the Military. We know people around here love it, but it cost over $100, I doubt any knife in that price range would be in the top 10 for overall sales.
It would be nice if it was though.

+1. These are the classics.
My first spydie was an S30V Native
then a Delica, Police, etc., etc. These designs have been around so long because they work and work well!

I might think about adding the Hunter/Pro-Ventator/Stretch line of knives to the list as well. They have been in the lineup in various configurations since the early 90s.

Paul hit the nail on the head with this list, IMO. I would dare say that the ParaMilitary 2 is soon to be added to that list as well, due to the cult like following that this Spyder has now.

I just ordered my third Para 2 today. :D

Greetings and welcome zunedog31.

I would think the Delica but I may be wrong. Only sales figures will confirm exactly which one is right at the top.

Once you buy one though, there stirs within your mind the urge to try other Spyderco knives. It can be an enjoyable experience and also a bit hard on the wallet too ;)
