I would choose the para military 2 or chaparral

Just for everyday Dailey taskes.
This is such a hard question to answer. So hard in fact that the OP couldn't even decide between the Chap or the PM2. Hilarious.

im going to choose the para military 2 for my answer. But I have no idea which version, that's asking too much, I can't choose!
Most recently acquired: Military 2, Paramilitary 2 Tanto x2, YoJUMBO, Swayback, Siren, DLC Yojimbo 2, Native Chief, Shaman S90V, Para 3 LW, Ikuchi, UKPK, Smock, SUBVERT, Amalgam, Para 3 CTS-XHP, Kapara, Paramilitary 2 M390
Grail Paramilitary 2 M390 X 2! ACHIEVED!!

If I could only carry one Spyder it would have to be the big Dyad, the C-44 model to be exact. Now if you're talking about a fixed blade I'm eternally appreciative of the original FB05 Temperance 1 model>> you could get those in PE or SE when they were in the main line up.

My next in line on the folder would be the G-10 Sprint version of the C-60 Ayoob model.

My next in line fixed blade would be the STREETBEAT model.

I'd be happy with any of these 3 (I know pesky BM jumped in there), I have a few Caly3's, will definitely have to pick up a 3.5 to add to the rotation.

If the Military wasn't socially unacceptable in so many places I'd go for that in CF..

The Slysz Bowie might win out for single knife; not too big, not too small, pretty light, great slicer, carries well and is easy to clean.

If customs are ok then a Thiel PPT (ti frame and CF)

Caly 3.5 may be the perfect EDC, but I'd have a hard time not carrying a Military. I guess it should be one of these:

- Caly 3.5 VG-10
- Manix 2 CPM-S110V
- Military S90V
- PM2 S90V/CPM-154

One of these three, they are my ultimate favorite EDC's. If forced to pick just one of them, the Domino would win and carry the day. Trailing close behind these three would be the S110V Native 5, the S110V lightweight Manix 2 and a PM2. Cheers, Radioactive

I'd say ZDP or SB Ladybug because there's so many place I can't take out my Endura or K2 knowing the kind of reaction I could get. Yeah imagine myself trimming my nails with the Endura while waiting in line to pay for my order at Future Shop ... :rolleyes:

Ladybug never leaved me since I got my first and despite it's size it has been able to accomplish most "normal" cutting need I have had. Not speaking about those end of world scenarios, but real, every day cutting needs.
If it's not polished, call it a saw, not an edge!

super blue endura. Enduras since 92. It would be awfully tough giving up a Cruwear model I asked for starting about 7 or 8 years ago maybe? Perhaps more. but I have such muscle memory for the Endura I can, despite arthritis and nerve damage get it out and into action faster than any auto.

I'd go with a Native 5 or Manix 2. I would probably be happy with any of the knives previously mentioned in this thread. You guys have good taste in knives :D

Well, since you didn't specify that it has to be a Spydie that is currently in existence; I would say an S110V PM2. :D :cool:

I can't choose only one. Just can't do it! :p

Ok, if I were *forced* to choose, I suppose it would be the 440V Starmate.

If only one Spydie for me, it would have to be smallish, something like a Native or Chaparral. My fixed-blades would fill the role (and then some) of the largish Spydies I could no longer have.

I think I'd favor the Native5 as it is beefy but still carries small, and would take my S35VN over my S110V for the added toughness and easier edge recovery.

If I had to go with a full Spyderedged folder alone it would be the 440V Native or the first Spyder I ever bought which was the GIN-1, SE Mariner.

If I had to go with a full Spyderedged fixed blade it would be the Temperance 1 model from years gone by.

For a specialty blade it would be the SE, H-1 Spyderhawk

I said in my first post it would be a PM2...I didn't specify which variation however so I'll include a picture. I do love 204P.
