Agreed, Carl. That model in particular is quite attractive. You may want to check out the 25th Anniversary Delica, which is fairly similar in features. They command quite a premium on the secondary market these days, unfortunately.

The slysz bowie, 204P and 52100 millies are high on the list but right now KC's cruwear manix is top of that list

Right now it's 2: at work it's my orange wharnie Delica wonderknife, and everywhere else, it's my HAP 40 Dfly.

M4 PM2. It's sharp as ****, strong, tough, and is yet to get a patina so it still almost looks new. Out of the dozen or so that I have, If I had to choose, it would be that one.
If the M4 PM2 wasn't an option, next best would be my SB Delica.

Slimmed down Millie blade in a smaller, rounded handle - fantastic!!!
Re: Out of the Spyderco knives you own, which one is your favorite?
That was my thoughts, very similar to the Millis, but seems to fit the hand better IMHO.ChrisinHove wrote:Mine arrived yesterday, late adopter that I am.....farnorthdan wrote:Nice to see another Pattada lover, the more I think about it the more I realize just how much I like the ethnic series, Chokwe, Schempp Bowie, Nilakka, Hungarian, Barong etc. It's most anticipated new pieces.laker_cj wrote:As of late it has been the Pattada; just fits in my hand great, and I can't swap it out for any of the others that I own presently.

Couple of months ago I would've said PM2 hands down, but after getting my Bradley CF in, I have to go with it. Exceptional knife in all aspects.
Re: Out of the Spyderco knives you own, which one is your favorite?
Hands down, my Sprig!

It is funny. I have more costly knives, but my favorite still has to be a Delica, followed by a Dragonfly G10. You simply can't beat these knives for practical utility.

The Civilian.
I've bought and sold dozens of Spyderco knives, that one never came close to hitting the chopping block, and I've never regretted keeping it.
I still say it's the perfect knife to wear with a suit, and I've been using it to open the mail for over a decade now, the Civilian never fails to entertain.

Chaparral in CF. The upcoming FRN version will become my new favorite.
Re: Out of the Spyderco knives you own, which one is your favorite?
An Endura 4 with Spyderedge and a plain ol' Cat. I love my Cat. It's probably my least-expensive Spydie, and it's my favorite. it just looks and feels "right."
Re: Out of the Spyderco knives you own, which one is your favorite?
I really like the Cat as well. For the price, it's hard to beat. Feels great, good quality to it.Dave-o wrote:An Endura 4 with Spyderedge and a plain ol' Cat. I love my Cat. It's probably my least-expensive Spydie, and it's my favorite. it just looks and feels "right."

Re: Out of the Spyderco knives you own, which one is your favorite?
For the longest time, it was PM2. For the last 2 months it was its little bro, P3.
Than I got this thing, and it turned my whole world upside down. Still use PM2 for lot of outdoor activities, but for EDC I don't have anything better. Perhaps Maxamet?

Paramilitary 2 , Manix 2 , Yojimbo 2
These are the good old stable knives from spyderco. When they are executed right. ( every batch has their lemons) They just drop without lockbar tention and have amazing action.
As a collector i dont use knives as much often as some forum members here. So action is the most important thing to me. Backlocks tend to be not as fun to fondle.

Re: Out of the Spyderco knives you own, which one is your favorite?
I own a Delica 4, a PM2 and three DF2s. My favorite is the DF2 in ZDP-189. Maybe if the compression lock Lil' Native that was mentioned at last year's Amsterdam Meet becomes a reality, it will displace my beloved DF2 in ZDP-189.

Elmax Para 2
most carried is some version of the Delica (Hap40 swapped into the Lil Matriarch handle or a plain jane Grey VG10)
