I have to give the slight edge to the Manix2 LW S110V over the BBS Exclusive Domino with Blue G-10 and CTS-204P just based on the fact that the Manix2 LW is the best value in the industry, IMO.

I love both knives equally, though. They are definitely my two most carried and will be a hard act to follow for 2015.

My vote would have to be the Slysz Bowie. Followed closely by the Rubicon which I am still getting to know. It's been a fantastic year for new Spydies!! Looking forward to the DogTag, Chubby and K2 in 2015. And hopefully the Spydechef!! Keep Marcin's designs comin!

Tatanka: what can I say? It's a big piece of . . . steel! Practical for me it ain't, but it's just fun to own the biggest in someone's product line. May the PowerLock make its appearance elsewhere.

Many excellent ones were delivered in 2014 including ParaMilitary2 Composite Blade, Chaparral Stepped Titanium, Rubicon, Lil LionSpy, Slysz Bowie, K2, Native5 S110V/CF, Yojimbo2 S90/CF, Chubby, BattleStation, Manix2 S110V LW, etc.

Of these my favorite is Slysz Bowie. Simple, elegant, refined and smooth.

Rubicon & Chaparral Stepped Titanium win for their respective gorgeous CF and Titanium scales.

PM2 CB for the technology win.

Manix2 S110V for the bargain champ.

Yeah I know and I've been eyeballing it for some time >> but I won't get one until they make it in Spyderedge. It's still been one of my favorite newer Spyder designs in the past 4 years or so. With the possible exception of the K-2 which I like because mainly of the blade steel.

What can I say?? I still like many of the older school Spyders the best. Those GOLDEN ERA SPYDERS 1998-2003 are what I cut my teeth on :D :cool:

S110V Manix 2 for me as well. For performance and value all in a lightweight EDC package it could be a candidate for one of the #1 Spydies of the last decade.

I just counted the votes, and...

Currently the Manix 2 lightweight S110V is in top place, closely followed by the Slysz Bowie and the Rubicon. Keep voting, guys! Maybe we will shut it down after one week and declare a "best knife of 2014?"

Sorry, as I said I'm lazy :rolleyes:

Seems like we're doing fine counting the votes entry by entry (BTW I guess we're voting!). I wouldn't want to exclude any models by any sort of number limit for the poll imposed by the forum software. Not a big surprise to me the top contenders are the Slysz Bowie, Rubicon and S110V Manix 2, all awesome knives!!

Millie!

Wait what I can only do new knives? Lame.

Ok in that case and fully knowing my vote is wasted I say K2. 10V titanium slicer, yes I want.

If the Manix was just a little bit easier to actually buy I might have gone with it for the value to 110V ratio.
On my radar: 110V Military, Police 4 and some sweet Rex 45 Military action.

Newest Spydies: S90v Ti Military, Pacific Salt and a special Kiwi.

I will put the Rubicon in my top spot, followed closely by the Slysz Bowie. Cruwear Manix and S110V Manix tie for 3rd (althought I prefer the Cruwear model, there's no denying the bang for the buck value of the S110V Manix.)

I think the LW Native 5 deserves an honorable mention. S35VN, a very solid lock in a 2.5oz. knife for less than $80 is one heck of a deal.
