Delica, done. Native, done. Manix 2, done. Dragonfly, done. If you mean exact same SKU, then none and no interest in doing so.

There are models that I have more than 6 of but they're all variations. It's a sickness....

Not just a wish, but I actually did buy quite some more than "just" a dozen over the years... talking about, of course, the great ENDURA :smlling-eyes

It will always be just "my" folder, and "the" Spyderco for me (despite it neither having the rather typical finger choil nor a "Spyderco" lock (comp.lock / CBBL).
After the Delica (which was very nice already, but just too small) it was my second Spyderco and I "grew up" with this knife right from the beginning of my Spyderco-journey. Feels so extremely familiar to me, and I think there is almost no more or less sensible folder task I have not done with an Endura.

Below (pic) the ones I currently still own (I count the Pac Salt as at least very, very endura-ish).

As said: I had some more over the years, two of those I really miss and never should have sold:

- My very first ffg Endura (had several sabre ground versions before) - blue handle, VG10, I loved that thing!
- A ZDP Endura with the british racing green handle. Back at the time the steel was a bit "too much" for, these days, being a bit better at sharpening and also a bit better equipped, I´d really like to try it again.

Image
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

I don't have multiple identical knives, that seems pointless to me, I have all Kopas, all Michael Walker and Bob Terzuola collabs.

First and foremost I would by a dozen of the most recent C-60 Ayoob Cruwear Sprint Run. And I'm not sure that would be the limit. I would gift them to friends to share what a great design it is.

In the fixed blade category I would like a dozen of the TEMPERANCE 1 model in PE and another dozen in SE. It was one of the few Spyderco fixed blades you could get in both edge types.

I would also get a dozen of the Spyderco 204 Sharpmaker sharpening kits as well. Great question, great thread.

The Caly Jr was a truly iconic Spyderco model that I can't understand why it was ever discontinued. I even had 2 of the stainless handled Caly Jrs along with 2 of the Burgundy ZDP-189 Caly Jr. models as well.

The old original Micarta handled Caly Jr in the AUS-8 era was also a classic.

Pm2, but in steels that are not in regular production anymore for the pm2. K390, Rex 45 are the two I’m most interested in trying to find. Also wouldn’t mind getting another S35vn, the one I have is from 2014 and from a collector, so it’s in very good condition. It’s rarity/pristine condition make me hesitate to edc or even use it.

Hardly! I'd like a Caly Jr to keep in each of the cars, one for each of the toolboxes, and then I need some spares for when I lose one. They don't have to be identical, but I wish they were all Caly Jrs. Honestly the ZDP-189s work best for me.

See, multiples is the point of the ask...a model you like so well, you'd pass up other models to get multiples of the one you like. Understood that not everybody has a model they like that well. But some of us are off the deep end for a particular model (cough cough JD cough Spydocough). I'm just nuts about the Caly Jr. and it's been out of production for a loooong time. Still blows my skirt up, though.

Nope, not exact same SKU, and you sir, are to be congratulated on your pre-need replacements. If you have any spare Caly Jrs can you send them my way...

I'd buy more Spyderco S90V Native Chiefs.

But there are M390 Native Chiefs available at Spyderco right now and when they are gone, they are long gone!!! These are fantastic knives.

Naperville, you only use knives for self defence, right? Meaning you don’t use your knife for edc at all? Curious as to why you chose the Native Chief over a yo2 which was designed specifically for self defence.

Man, if they did another run of the original calypso jr. With the classic micarta handle and upgraded the steel to at least vg-10, I’d be over the moon.
