Vote for your 2015 Spyderco knife of the year

[Mr Blonde]

Lightweight Native 5 for me!

[MichaelScott]

Proficient. This is all subjective, of course. For me, the most foundational knife, the one I would have if I could only have one would be a "medium" size fixed blade. I'm not talking about EDC knives, but the one knife that would do 90% of what I would ask of it. Fixed blades are hard to beat: no moving parts, no screws, pivots, locks. Having spent a deal of time in various woods, mountains and wilderness and farms, I tend to lean toward fixed blades. Not so much now since I'm old and now live in town so I carry Delicas and Dragonflies, but where I live now it is not unusual to see men going about their business wearing a sheath knife. Or a pistol for that matter.

Of all of the fixed blades I know about, I believe the Proficient is the one I would choose.

For me it is the CS Exclusive......very close second is the blurple PM2.
The action, detent, edge and sexiness are the best of all my PM2s! Great build on this one!

Another PITS vote.

Should have made this a poll, would have been a fun one.

Should have made this a poll, would have been a fun one.

Unfortunately, polls on this Spyderco Forum have been limited to just 10 options.

However, one can take the top 10 from this thread to create a new thread with a poll limiting the voter to just one choice.

CS Orange PM2. Great colors and best fit & finish of any of my 2015 Spyderco acquisitions.

It is a poll. It just doesn't work the same way as many other polls. :) I will be counting the total number of votes for each knife at the end of the year and announcing the winner, just like I did last year. If someone else wants to count as well, that would be great to double check mine in case I make a mistake.

[farnorthdan]

Sounds like a plan GS, looking forward to the results.

[demoncase]

All Black Emerson Matriarch 2 for me......Because: Reasons. :D

[Joris Mo]

LW Native5 (forum version is my favorite)

[Almoe66]

CS Orange/Black PM2

[bearfacedkiller]

Sounds like a plan GS, looking forward to the results.

I think the forum limits polls to ten choices. How many knives came out last year! :eek: :D

That would be pretty neat. Say on Christmas make a poll with the top ten options and close that poll on New Years. I am not going to say anymore about it though because I'm not willing to do any of the actual work. There's certainly nothing wrong with just counting up the results of this thread like last year. Polls are just fun because it's like watching a horse race. :p

Well...we could call it our top ten list :D

Remember GB2 and Sprig just came out. Perhaps wait until after the year is over in case there are any more releases and giving people more chance to vote.
