I work in a relaxed environment and if I carried a Southfork around hanging from my belt daily, not one person would raise and eyebrow. That being said I always carry a larger folder and a smaller one (sometimes a medium size as well). If it comes down to my favorite knife to edc because I can throw it in the pocket when dressed up or down.... has to be the Caly 3 or 3.5
P.S. my older Caly Jr. now has a deep carry Ti pocket clip and is gaining favor with me again!

Hmm, tough one...depends a little on where I am, who I'm with tasks I expect to encounter and what else is in my pockets!
But...generally these are my favs:
GB
Techno (though I am waiting til I find someone to do me a reasonably priced Ti backspacer to really carry it a lot - I REALLY hate the blue)
Stretch
Caly 3 SB
Michael Walker
Native 4
Those are pretty much my top carries.

On the hunt for...
I don't really have an absolute favorite because my top favs all have something unique about them that I really love. Currently it's my Rock Lobster, but it's only a matter of time before it gets rotated out with a Para 2, Manix 2, Yojimbo 2, or eventually my forum Native 5.
All SE all the time since 2017

I would definitely like to! I would add FFG/ZDP Delica, Enurda, Manbug and Ladybug to flesh out that collection, and separately it'd be nice to pick up a Military/Paramilitary combo. the Manix 2 LW may be another addition before too long. This all said, I accrue spydies much slower than some members, being relatively young and with less liquid cash, so these are longer-term goals. In terms of things I really couldn't accomplish with these three though, the only thing I could think of would be a larger fixed blade like say the Bushcraft (or an ESEE 4 or 6) for hard use.Janfrederik wrote:Do you plan on getting any other Spydies, or are you content with those?
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

I'm in the same position. You're making me want to get a ZDP collection now, too :pkennethsime wrote:I would definitely like to!

I've been considering a Stretch for a while, I think you may have just pushed me over the edge :D

If you're already considering a Delica or Endura, I would highly recommend a Stretch. It fits my hand better than any other knife I've ever handled, is super versatile (useful for anything from hunting to food prep to boxes & packaging to self defense if you had to), super lightweight while still being sturdy, excellent cutting performance from the thin blade, I could go on! You don't realize how badly you need a good choil until you have one on a knife like the Stretch and then compare it to an Endura or similar knife without. The Deacon also considers it to be just about the best EDC knife Spyderco makes.Janfrederik wrote:I'm in the same position. You're making me want to get a ZDP collection now, too :p

I already have a Delica, so I'm pretty sure I would love the Stretch. Basically a bigger Delica with a choil, what's not to love?kennethsime wrote:If you're already considering a Delica or Endura, I would highly recommend a Stretch.
