So in order of most to least carried.

Sage 3: Fathers day give from my four year old. Opens and closes with a flick of the wrist and is so smooth. I am liking the bolt action lock a lot.

Cruwear Millie: My favorite Spydie by far. A set of Steve's bar of soap smooth natural linen Micarta scales on a Millie. Yes please.

Super blue Dragonfly 2: Might as well take the pocket clip off as much as it doesn't get used. Rides at the bottom pocket like nobody's business. Super thin blade gets sharp as can be and I use it hard.

Southard: More custom scale goodness and it flicks like a champ. Still trying to get use to the lock but at least it looks and cuts well. The sharpest stock edge of any Spyderco I have owned.

110V LW Manix: Love the wide leaf blade and am really trying to get the lock sorted. Only reason it gets carried over some other gems is my girl have it to me for a birthday gift.

Got a couple of really great knives that didn't make the list. 440V Millie because it is too new and a 204P Para 2 that just seems to get passed over for no good reason. Really a great knife.

G10 Endura 4, Lefty Millie, G10 Manix 2, S110V Manix lightweight. I had an orange Endura 4, but I sold it to help pay for the Manix lightweight. I tried a PM a long time ago (the lock was awkward for me, being left-handed) and I had a Ladybug Salt for a while.

Hmm, if I was going to call one of mine a "beast", it would be my Millie. I tried a G10 Native 5, but it seemed a little short for things like slicing onions or bell peppers. I sold it cheap, right before they went out-of-stock everywhere for a long time.

I don't have any Para or Millie, too big for EDC.
That's my taste.
If you're in the US, you don't have to mind about the size most of the time. ;)

This changes as they go in and out of favor with me.

Southard (mini-Southard pimped by Kevin Smock)
Caly 3 SB (all around terrific knife but mid/back locks do bore me at times)
Yojimbo 2 (for when I want to feel dangerous)
DF2 SB (great people friendly option)
Techno (second job knife)


The Domino has recently found it's way back into my pocket.

In the kitchen, love the Santoku.

I suppose since you added a picture all will be forgiven.

All my knives are users. Collecting is not my nature.

What it really is:
1. Bradley Air
2. DF2 ZDP
3. DF2 Super Blue
4. DF2 H1 SE
5. PM2 S30V

Because most of my time is spent in the office with slacks on.

What I imagine it is:
1. Military Cruwear or D2
2. Military 440V SE
3. PM2 variants
4. DF2 variants
5. Bradley

And the difference is primarily due to the fact that I really don't use them as perhaps Sal intended. I use them all, but not on hard or tough tasks that they'd really excel at.

In order of frequency of use.

1. Santoku (Vegetables)
2. Civilian (opens mail like a champ)
3. ZDP Caly 3 (I thinned it out to .05" thick at the edge years and years ago, it cuts stiff material really well)
4. Vallotton (Probably the most aesthetically pleasing knife I've owned, not that everyone would agree, but I really like it.)
5. Warrior (Great for running around in the bush, both because it's waterproof and because "you never know". I like to carry two of them just for fun.)
