Name a great allaround-do-it-all Spyderco folder

[elena86]

Let me reformulate: what Spyderco folder would you take to serve you well in almost any given situation in a trip around the world (jurisdictions aside) ?

Possibly my hap40 Stretch. I love the pm2 design but more often than not the Stretch beats it out for pocket time. Thinner blade, better slicer, I like back locks.

[Zatx]

The list of Spyderco folders that DON'T meet your criteria is much shorter. In fact, I can't think of any.

I'm confident I could successfully travel around the world with only a Dragonfly in my pocket.

Legalities aside, I'd take what I carry nearly every day - a Stretch. The difficult part would be deciding which one. :p

Delica

Military, Stretch or Para2 for me. If I was gonna be busy traveling the world I would probably pick something stainless.

You should mention that your Stretch is modified a la Gringo :D :cool:

This. My second Spyderco and EDC for seven years, I never encountered a situation where I needed a bigger knife (though there was occasionally times where something bigger would have been more convenient).

I agree with this. I'd be torn between too many knives to list.

Honestly? If I were travelling around the world I'd be carrying a Swiss Army Knife, probably a Farmer. Something that can handle most ordinary tasks that I wouldn't miss and could easily replace if it were lost, stolen or confiscated. My Spyderchoice would doubtless be my C44 Dyad.

[SpyderNut]

Dragonfly2 would be my first choice, although the Delica and Manbug would be excellent choices too.

[Chinook3]

I vote for the SE Pacific Salt. This knife surprised the heck out of me. This guy is tough with no maintenance required.

Ditto me on this choice!

Sage 1 and SAK pioneer Alox. Already did the world trips and they were my go to blades

[dplafoll]

I'd say something in the 3-inch range: Delica, Native, Para 3, Sage 1-5, Caly 3, Efficient (probably; it may be too early to tell, but it looks good so far). That's an ideal middle-ground size, and you have plenty of options. Larger: Para Military 2. Smaller: Chaparral or Dragonfly 2.

Delica. Although my "travel knife" is the SpyDK, or Higonokami for peace of mind regardless where i go.

The world can be a dangerous place.
I would probably bring a pm2.
Although a yojimbo would probably be the better.

Now, it you have to get it into many different places, then maybe a pits.

[PiggyBackJack]

Pm2. Personally I carry the Techno more but the Pm2 is the better all-rounder imho.
