Re: Collaborations - Your Top Five Spydies
In no particular order (and too many):
Brouwer (Jerry Brouwer)
Baby Horn (Jess Horn)
Techno 2 (Marcin Slysz)
Kapara (Allistair Phillips - but I really want the Lil Kapara Slippie please!!!)
Air (Gayle Bradley)
Lil Lum (Bob Lum)
Excited to try out the Astute and the SpyOpera very soon :-)
And I'm still kicking myself that I passed on a Sprig when I had the chance. Always keeping my eyes peeled for that at a reasonable price (sigh)

Re: Collaborations - Your Top Five Spydies
I have not nearly enough of the great collaborations. I just did a review of the archived list and there are stunning examples I must leave off of the list because the rule for "actually owned". Here goes with a little liberal interpretation of the rule:
Marcin Slysz Bowie
Jim Ankerson Proficient
Jonathan McNees McBee
Phil Wilson Southfork/Sprig
Chris Claycombe Bushcraft
and
Michael Janich Yojimbo 2
Dan
Marcin Slysz Bowie
Jim Ankerson Proficient

Re: Collaborations - Your Top Five Spydies
Had to edit my list and add the Pingo. I barely ever leave the house without it, it's my environment-friendly small-mid folder. How could I initially have missed it??

Re: Collaborations - Your Top Five Spydies
In rough order, but all are super high up on my favorites list and all are users:
Peter Rassenti Nirvana
Marcin Slysz Bowie (the other family members are all amazing as well)
Jonathan McNees McBee
Alistair Philips Kapara
Mike Read PITS
I also have a huge soft spot for anything by Jess Horn, Bob Lum, and Gayle Bradley. Still hoping to see a full size gray G10 Jess Horn sprint someday to go along with the semi-recent Baby Horn. :)

Re: Collaborations - Your Top Five Spydies
Spyderco's collaborations are among the models most dear and near to my heart. But being an old School Spyderco fanatic my 5 most loved collaborations to this day mostly fall into what I affectionately call the "GOLDEN ERA of SPYDERS 1998-2004.
My favorite Old School, GOLDEN ERA collaborations are the
( 1) C-60 Massad Ayoob
(2) The J. D. Smith
(3) C-56 Zowada
(4) C-46 Lum Tanto folder
(5) Fred Perrin StreetBeat
I do like a lot of the newer collaborations but the ones from the GOLDEN Era Of Spyders 1998-2004 are still my ultimate favorites and most cherished :cool:

Re: Collaborations - Your Top Five Spydies
Forgot that I actually did have a second one: Centofante 3!
Liked it a lot, especially the long edge and thin blade, would still own it if it was ffg
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)
