if you could only own a 5 Spyderco knife collection:
Which models that spyderco has actually produced would you choose? I’m curious to know you’re guys’ answers will be.
Current “dream collection” of knives
temperance 1, lil temperance 1 serrated leaf, black micarta calypso jr & calypso, cocobolo kopa, stainless serrated harpy, stainless cricket
Re: if you could only own a 5 Spyderco knife collection:
pacific salt se
15v manix
spydiechef
yojimbo
original ladybug (it's a sentimental thing)
that's kind of a tough list to make. if i narrowed it down to only users, i'd replace the ladybug with a stretch 2 xl salt or a manix salt, both of which we've been told are coming.

Re: if you could only own a 5 Spyderco knife collection:
I definitely realize it’s a tough and ever changing thing for most of us here. It’s fine if it’s not a completely set in stone list, just what you’re currently feeling your top 5 favorites are from a balance of function and sentimentalityladybug93 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 5:20 pmpacific salt se

Re: if you could only own a 5 Spyderco knife collection:
In no particular order, I could get by with the following just fine. Delica, Military, Police, Native, Ladybug. Now if I have to further specify blade shape, steel and edge type it’ll get trickier.

If chosen by amount of use then -
Magnacut Mule
Caribbean Leaf SE
Dragonfly Salt SE (H1)
Manix 2 XL Cruwear
Yojumbo S90V
If chosen by desire as well as utility (including ones I don’t own) then -
Darn Dao
Caribbean Leaf SE
Caribbean Sheepsfoot PE
Magnacut Mule
Manix 2 XL 4V
Not the most exotic or esoteric, but they are all utterly fantastic knives.

Re: if you could only own a 5 Spyderco knife collection:
I own Military, Manix 2, Para 2, Tenacious, Bradley 1, Mule. I have 1 Bradley, the rest I have multiples of in different configurations.
If I had to reduce to 5 of the ones that I have I would choose Manix2 LW Rex45, maybe even 2 of them, Para2 in K390, Para2 in M4 or Rex45, Military in Cruwear,

Special honorable mention: the calypso jr.

Re: if you could only own a 5 Spyderco knife collection:
Dragonfly vg10 wharncliffe
Delica k390
Salt 2 lc200n
Chaparral
Pac salt lc200n serrated
Para 3 spy27
Really hard to narrow that down to 5 but I think I’d give up the pac salt. But if I did I might get the salt 2 as serrated.
