Best Spyderco value

[crazywednesday]

In your opinion, which available Spyderco is the best value?

[Larry_Mott]

In my honest opinion, the Byrd Raven 2.
Let the flaming begin..

Urban K390. Discontinued, but Osogrande still shows them in stock.

Most of them are a good value considering the materials and design. It's really a matter of what you're looking for.

My picks are Native Lightweight, Stretch, Manix 2 G10, Manix XL and PM2. These knives really keep me from buying others because it's rarely ever worth it. I had a Byrd Cara Cara 2 for a couple days. Something was up with the lock on it and it went back, they also have a short warranty period. That said, I really liked the design, the blade choil makes it a design (not material) improvement over the Endura imo. Any of the discontinued sale knives still hanging around on sale are a great value as well.

Gayle Bradley 2

Manix Lightweight. Particularly the 110V model.

Honestly if I were looking for value I'd buy a Buck or Schrade. I carry a Spyderco because it is high quality, great steel and heat treat and it works the way I like to carry. Value is not a consideration.

[Bloke]

Military S110V.

I just got a Pingo. I'ts a great knife. Yes I'd rather have it be a locking knife, but great design and great price so great value. There seem to be some still out there.

[phaust]

For me, the Tenacious line wins.

Byrd Meadowlark 2.

There are a lot of great values in Spyderco's lineup. It really depends on what you like. The UKPK S110V is a good one IMO. Native 5 LW S35VN, Manix 2 LW, & Delica are good too. Also, any of knives in the "Value" line.

Do you not see the value in "high quality"?

Native LW S35VN or Chaparral LW

[Evil D]

Military S110V.

It really is a broad subject, but considering the steel (and what other companies expect you to pay for it, IF they even offer it) this probably is the most bang for your buck. There may be more inexpensive options that do perform great but this Military is a bargain for what you get.

D, great minds think alike! :)

Chaparral LW

The Para 3 is value incarnate. I never thought I would say that about a 100$+ pocket knife, but yea...it's a steal. USA made, s30v, compression lock, top notch fit and finish and a killer design. I'm pretty sure I've gotten my moneys worth just flicking this knife open and closed over the last year. Add to it, the amazing ability to effortlessly cleave solid matter and you got yourself VALUE :)

I agree also.

A ZDP 189 Endura is a pretty strong value option as well.

Anything in ZDP-189. You will not find a super steel this nice for less. We spydie fans are spoiled to have it part of the standard production line up. After the all the steels I've tried it remains a favorite.
