If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
The Para3 would be my number one because of the various scenarios a have put it through, the blade size as well as the many grips that I apply with it. Since I have the Para3 in different steels( 4V, S90V, REX45, M4) I would choose it in 4V steel. As for my second, I choose the Shaman as it has a larger/ longer blade and very comfortable handle. As for the steel( with as many steel options I have in my knife collection) I would actually have my Shaman as is in S30V.
Every Steel Has Its Appeal :cool:

Sensible choice! I am a backlock guy, but other than that I can see your combo working for me either.A.S.O.K.A wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 1:31 pmThe Para3 would be my number one because of the various scenarios a have put it through, the blade size as well as the many grips that I apply with it.

So: If you could have TWO, you'd choose two bigger knives, but if you only could have ONE it would be one smaller?ladybug93 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 11:29 amif i had to only have two, it would be my manix lw in xhp and my pacific salt. if i could only have one, it would be my native salt to cover all bases. if i could dream a little, it would be a manix salt and a caribbean 2 (with a redesigned handle without a pinky hook) in sheepsfoot se.
Or do you mean, that the Native Salt, while being small, on the other hand would give you a plain edge plus total corrosion resistance plus better edge retention than the H1 of the Pac. Salt?

Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
yes. i prefer the manix to the native, but the native is perfectly fine for edc and combines similar ergos and edge holding of the manix with rust-proofness of the pacific.Wartstein wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 3:11 pmSo: If you could have TWO, you'd choose two bigger knives, but if you only could have ONE it would be one smaller?ladybug93 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 11:29 amif i had to only have two, it would be my manix lw in xhp and my pacific salt. if i could only have one, it would be my native salt to cover all bases. if i could dream a little, it would be a manix salt and a caribbean 2 (with a redesigned handle without a pinky hook) in sheepsfoot se.

Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
I left out sentimental knives because they just sit in the safe. I have two knives that I received as gifts that don't get carried and if I picked those two then I would have to carry a non Spydie daily and we know that ain't happening.
If these were my only two Spydies I could get by. To be honest I could probably sell all my folders (and retire ) and just get by with that Cruwear Military. I cannot think of one time I have ever carried it and thought to myself that I wish I had left the house with a different knife. It is the most versatile folder I own.
Then there is the Maxamet Native5LW. It has the highest power to weight ratio of any production knife ever made. :D

Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
Also very good and sensible choice imho, edge-length-wise just a bit longer than what I did choose (Endura/ Stretch 1 instead of Millie, Chap instead of Native...)bearfacedkiller wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 3:37 pm....

Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
It it strange that I’ve started holding a straightedge over knife pics to see what it would look like with a straight spine? :confused: :D
I absolutely love the para3 :cool:

Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
If I could only have two Spyderco knives, my first pick would be Jumpaster 2 in SE, and my 2nd knife would be the Bob Lum Darn Dao -OR- Native 5 in Maxamet.

Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
I would choose the para 3 and spydiechef if I could only have two.
Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
Pacific Salt SE for EDC and a Waterway for hiking, camping etc.
Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
Tough one but probably an Endura and a Dragonfly in PE.
Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
Definitely a Shaman as my user (I don’t own the S90V but I’m partial to it if I had to choose) and either or the para 3 or chaparral!
Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
I apologize if my post goes through twice my internet said error when hitting submit! But I would choose the shaman as my beater and either a para 3 or chaparral as my edc/practical use!
Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
If you already have an Endura, it doesn't really matter any more what you choose for the second knife imho... :D

Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
Just out of interest: If you could have a totally rust proof Police 4, would that be your only EDC folder in this "only two knives scenario" or still the Pac. Salt?

Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
Yeah, it’s that kind of knife isn’t it. ****, if it had a choil I would have find something other than knives to waste my money on.
Re: If you could only have TWO Spyders...?
Exactly, bro, but if I had to choose today, it would be Delica wharncliffe PE and Pacific Salt SE. Both serious cutting machines that are unequaled.
