I'll acknowledge that they're not his best selling designs, or those most popular with others in the "knife afi" community, but they're the ones I've carried and enjoyed the most over the years.

Thanx for all of the kind words. Eric and I have worked hard to try to crate designs that work well. While I have more experience, I think Eric is a better designer. He's taken designs like the Paramilitary 1 and made it much better with the Paramilitary 2. The Para 3 is really all Eric.

FYI, VG-10 was created for grafting of plants.

In my eyes Sal, you are THE DESIGNER. Dragonfly is a masterpiece IMHO. I only pray for a 3 inch Dragonfly. Swedge and all. THAT would be the best edc folding knife ever created by human beings. Or aliens :)

I am quite surprised that the Stretch "only" makes rank 5 on your list... as much as you seem to enjoy it..

It's in alfabetical order m8 :).
It was to hard for the deacon to rank his glesser designs...
It's like telling your children who's you favorite child. :p
I'm guessing the kiwi would rank higher than fourth..

So many to like, but forced to choose just five (and discounting the PM2 only because it isn’t just Sal’s design), I’d be content with:

Calypso
Police4
Military
Shaman
Chaparral
All the recent threads regarding the Stretch have encouraged me to carry my VG10 Stretch1 this past week, which has reminded me how highly I regard this model and why, even though other models have kept it out of my pocket for quite a while.

So, I need to amend my top five Sal designs (in order of model number):

Military
Calypso
Stretch
Chaparral
Shaman

Pending the time I’m about to spend with my Caribbean, another revision may be needed...

Ok, ok I surrender... ;) But I can´t quite understand the voice: Does it say Caly 3.5 or Caly 3? Discontinued or upcoming lightweight? ;)
