I already posted my answer, but with this new information you need a Caly (3 or 3.5 or Jr or fullsize) in your shopping list!

If I had to be just one, I'd say ... Sage 2 and Dragonfly.

I have answered these exact questions numerous times and have said the Military.
However as of late the Yojimbo 2 has been right there. It's easy to throw out a knife
name because we know that it would probably never happen.

When we go on vacation, I do have to limit my carry to a couple knives for the trip,
although they don't all have to be carried at all times, and the legal length is always
a consideration. The Military isn't legal in all states, so it might have to stay hid for
a while. The Millie and Yo2 have always made the trip and the PM2 has replaced the
Millie if size is a factor.

My desert ironwood Native5, but I would miss my Persian really bad.

Mark,
I am quite surprise why not S90V?????? I thought that this is your favorite steel or it is because of lock?
Just wondering.

I'm wondering why I have such a hard time with this question. Until just a few years ago I normally only owned one pocket knife at a time and it seemed to do just fine. WHAT HAPPENED?!!!

Looks to me like you signed up here just a few years ago. Coincidence? :)

My collection of Spydercos has doubled since I've been here and that's just over a month. Can't imagine what the future will bring. :rolleyes:

AH HA! I think you stumbled onto the culprit. IT'S THE FORUM! Rather, the people here. Just wanted to know who to thank. :)

I think the Caly 3.5 is likely to be my next Spydie, actually. Unless the forum knife makes it out soon.

It depends a lot on legality. If I didn't have to deal with laws and non knife people I'd probably opt for a s90v Military. Otherwise I'd go for s90v/20CP Para 2 or s90v/M4 Manix 2.

Brock O Lee · #33

S90V Para 2, with the S90V Military a close second

This! ^^^^^^^^

But if I did, overall, Native 5 (CF S110V if it were out)

But I NEED my CF Balance.

Can I have both? Please?

I would like to say Para2 S90v, but any experience with this steel, so I have to choice a knife in my possession: M4 Manix!

The only way I could get it down below three would be to cheat. I cherish the bolstered Stretch Sal gave me but, if I absolutely had to, I could substitute my A.T. Barr One Eyed Jack as a large folder. I love my sambar stag scaled Kiwi but, if I absolutely had to, I could replace it with my CRK snakewood Mnandi as a small folder. However, the most used Spyderco I own, simply because I've yet to find anything that cuts as well as in the kitchen, is my trusty K05 Utility Knife, so that's the one I'd keep if I could only keep one.

Anyone else?

This is TOO EASY. A Paracalyyojimanixkhukriulize in ZDPS90VG10 (my favorite steel) and CFG10. Black...of course.

Lord vader · #39

I would pick the C44 Big Dyad, which is coming soon by the way. :D

Now that's funny. Nicely worded. :)

Military in CPM S125V if I could have the moon. If not, Military in CPM S90V which I already own and use.

Although I would be completely lost for a new keys hanger without the Spyderco Cricket model.
