What's your most useful Spydie?
YOJIMBO 2.
I have two (for now). One is a dedicated SD knife that I carry when I am in town.
(I live on a farm and work in the City) The second one gets the farm work or whatever.
I use the Military for tough work as well, but I find that the Yojimbo 2's thick Wharnie
blade with tough sharp point gets the job done on anything that I need.
I never thought that anything could push the Military as my favorite, but hey, love
that Yo2 more and more every day.

I came to the Para2 game late (just started collecting them this fall) but since buying my first not a day has gone by without one as my daily companion. That said, it easily qualifies as both my most used and most useful Spypie (Dragonfly2 G10 comes in 2nd).
Apparently, arachnophobia is not a condition from which I suffer.... :spyder:

Here is a picture of my "most useful Spydie" :) Don't adjust your set, there are 3 knives. :Djackknifeh wrote:My "most useful Spydie" would need to include two knives. At the moment I have a D'fly2 in my pocket and Sage4 on my belt. I also have a neck sheath holding a Manbug. NOTE: Hope to have a kydex neck sheath for my D'fly in a few days. I needed to open a drink while in Wal Mart with my GB once. The blade was too big to use without grabbing the blade so the D'fly (or Manbug) would have been a better choice. But, as often I find myself cutting a semi-large limb from one of the trees in my yard and the GB or Sage4 would be my preferrence. The smaller knife is used most often. But, if I could only carry one it would be the larger because the larger knife will get the small knife jobs done better than the small knife getting the large knife jobs done.
I suppose the Techno would be a nice choice to cover my description. Except for blade length. Since there is always an "except for" in these conversations or decisions I think I'll be a two knife guy most of the time. Shoot, I bought the dang things, I might as well at least carry them around. :D
Manbug (G-10 with stonewashed bolsters and stonewashed ZDP-189 blade cut to resemble the Jester blade)
Dragonfly2 (VG-10) (still covered by warranty :) )
Sage4 (G-10 sandblasted scales, 1 red and 1 blue, Stonewashed bolsters, lockbar, liners and blade)
Other side of my Sage4

My most used and quite useful knife is the one on my keychain: Ladybug Salt Hawkbill. Be it box opening, cord cutting or pulling the blade through barbecue food. It also opens bottles like a purpose-buildt tool dur to the Boye detent.
When hunting or doing kitchen cuts I rather take a Mule or Moran.
There are other knives that see some use too. I always have a Para2 in my backpack and most of the time a Delica or UKPK in my pocket.
Hard to think of a :spyder: that is not very useful!

I would probably vote for my SE Dragonfly (first :spyder :) , my SE Merlin, or my SE Spyderhawk based on cutting what I need when I need it. First choice for PE is probably the Manix 2, though there are so many that have really performed admirably that it's hard to choose. I like the Manix2, Tenacious, and Navaja best for prepping and eating food. The Mules are excellent, I'm considering grinding one down for better chopping.

My Sharpmaker. Without it the rest of the collection is fairly useless.
This morning I sharpened a camping hatchet (file and sandpaper), and in the spur of the moment I ran it through the Sharpmaker. It now shaves arm hair. I've never seen an axe shave before, and I'm quite chuffed. :)
