5 Spydercos I have never regretted buying

[Liquid Cobra]

Para 2 (I can't stop buying these)
Ukpk (I can't stop buying these either)
Yojimbo 2 (I would buy more of these if Spyderco would make them)
Nirvana (amazing piece. I regret selling it, but I had to)

Those are the only four that I can name with the utmost certainty.

[attila]

I currently only have 4 that I don't regret:

C41 Native,
HAP40 Endura,
ZDP Dragonfly,
S110V Manix LW

I do mildly regret a Delica 4 and a Breeden Rescue. They're both fine knives, but I don't like the VG10 or locking mechanisms (the Delica refuses to stay smooth consistently, and I don't trust liner locks).

[RLDubbya]

Huh. I really love all of my knives and I don't regret any of them in the least. Most of these also have sentimental value, because most of them were for some sort of occasion (birthdays, Xmas, Father's Day, etc.) or a couple were random gifts from the wife. So I'll try, but this is hard.

[knocked down wall of text]

Sorry for the wall of text. :p

Those were great little stories about the knives; thank you for sharing!

• C01 Worker - Purchased it in 1981. It's what started it all for me.
• Caly 3.5
• Manix 2
• Massaad Ayoob Sprint

I list these because they were or are unique to Spyderco and I regard near perfect in design and function. I have many other Spydercos that I highly regard and EDC often, such as the GB2, PM2, Stretch, Pacific Salt to mention a few, but I sometimes wished they had slightly different features/materials/design which I've found on similar knives made by other brands. E.g. Like a flipper, different blade shape or grind, blade angle, etc..

When did you cut off a finger, and with which knife?

[ZrowsN1s]

40th Anniversary (the most I have ever spent on a single knife, functional art, worth every penny)
Super Blue Dragonfly (the most I have ever overpaid for a knife on the secondary market, also worth it)
Yojimbo 2 (This has become my favorite and most carried knife)
Never Summer Native 5( My very first Native in LC200N, Black and Red, for $100 :cool: :spyder: This is my second most carried knife)
Jade M4 Para2( was afraid it would rust and look dirty, hasn't been the case at all, one of my favorite and best looking knives ) :D

Delica ZDP
HAP40 Stretch
Gayle Bradley 1
Para 2 Jade M4
PAC Salt

[Bugs]

Pacific Salt (big surprise huh?)
Cruwear Millie
Southfork
Hap40 Stretch
Paramilitary 2 (I have several but can't pick a favorite)

Lance I thought for sure the Spydie Chef would have made that list. I still need to get one.

You know what? It probalby should have. I probalby have enjoyed that knife more than my paramilitaries so it is kind of more deserving of a spot on the list. As an aside, I don't have one at the moment. My buddy in New Zealand was in love with that knife so I gave it to him before I left. It's ok, I've got some new stuff on the horizon.

[Flipping Addict]

Slysz Bowie is it

LOL, number 5 is the one that cut off my fifth finger, which I deeply regret, so it didn't make the list of 5 unregrettables :D

I have probably bought 200 Spydercos over the last 20 years and don't regret one.

[SC_PATRIOT]

PM2,. (10) total but the gray Cruwear tops all
Domino
Serrata
Bradley Bowie
Native last gen not 5.

[RLDubbya]

Endura all stainless, SE, circa 2000. Memories of jobs, mills, and better times.
Szabo Folder
BattleStation
-The above two will always remind me of getting back into the knife world.
Nirvana - beauty can lie in simplicity and function; so much engineering excellence, so few parts, such functionality, such beauty.
Gayle Bradley 2 - donated to the fundraiser, with custom work. I'll always remember the extent of this horrible cancer, and how it has killed so many people I know.

3) Military Cruwear
4) GB2

The 5 I never regretted buying are the last 5. And the 5 before those.

I don't regret buying any and like them all a lot! :)

My favourite is my Sprig! :cool:
