5 Spydercos I have never regretted buying

[Mr Blonde]

I rarely regret any knife I buy. After all, most of the fun is in the hunt and research right?
My top 5:
- Stretch
- Delica
- Calypso/Caly 3
- Manix 2
- R2

Chaparral CF

My list is always evolving. It may change by the end of the year :D

[elena86]

1.PM2 in Cruwear(I own 3)
2.Military in Cruwear(I only own one but I shall remedy this ASAP)
3.Pacific Salt serrated(I own 5 and they keep coming)
4.Delica in HAP40( same as the Millie)
5.Dfly2 in HAP40(and any other Dfly)

The list is way too short.Honorable mention goes to Caly jr.in ZDP189 with burgundy frn scales and Manix2 in Cruwear with CF scales(Knifecenter exclusive).

[Doc Dan]

My honorable mention would have to include the Endura (M2BL replaced it), Caly3, Manbug G10, Cat (jimping top and bottom model) and probably the Native 5.

I assume a Cru-Wear PM3 is in your future? :D

You bet

Here's my list. Not necessarily my favorites or most used - just no regrets with the purchase
1) spyderco nasa (proficient)- crazy expensive, but worth every cent to me
2) sprig - newest addition. Not sure why I waited
3) ukpk - s110v makes it perfect
4) urban in k390
5) lum tanto sprint

honorable mention - my growing Goddard collection

[JD Spydo]

I've acquired a lot of my Spyders through trades over at the BF Exchange. Oh I have bought many of them too but some of the units on my top 5 list have been gotten by trades
(A) Massad Ayoob C-60 PE & SE
(B) M390 Military
(C) H-1 Spyderhawk
(D) Blue PE Dodo
(E) JD Smith PE & SE

It's very difficult for me to amass a top 5 because so many Spyders are near and dear to my heart. One model I've been using a lot lately that is an oldie but a super goodie and one of my all time "hard user" favorites and that is my C-45 stainless handled RESCUE model. It very much deserves honorable mention.

I don't regret buying my Native 5 G-10, Dragonfly 2 G-10 or my Sage 5. Not. One. Single. Bit.

[Evil D]

I haven't had many purchases that I regret because I research the heck out of them and handle them in person before I buy whenever possible but I've had some that were huge let downs once I got them in my hand and they would have been regrets if I had ordered before handling them. I could more easily list knives that I disliked initially but came around to love after owning and using them.

[bearfacedkiller]

I have been trying to narrow it down for days now and give up. My Cruwear Military is still my favorite. I am also quite happy with my HAP40 Delica. After that I just cannot really narrow it down.

This right here. The only knives I've bought unseen were my first two, DF2 and Chaparral, and I went with those based on trusted reviews. Everything else I've handled first.

Yeah I went in yesterday because of a staff meeting + company-dime lunch today. Couldn't pass up free lunch, especially since we ended up at Bonefish near the mall. :D
