Feels wrong not listing the Police, but these days I find myself reaching for my Military or Chief instead.

Ask me in 6 months and I could be singing a different tune.

[The Meat man]

For me, it'd be the Police 4, Autonomy 2, Caribbean SE, and an Endura (K390 or ZDP-189)

[M Sea]

Oh wow, Military, Manix 2 LW, PM3 LW, Chef, Sage 5 LW!! Thats a tough one!

Edit: make this one a Dragonfly, actually

Police

Actually, changing this to the Military on second thought

I feel like my favorites and "Mt. Rushmore" are different, so I'll give 2 lists. Mt. Rushmore feels like it should be the most iconic or revolutionary, a staple of the Spyderco name...my favorites or personal Rushmore feels like it should be 4 that I like the most or a "if I could only have 4" situation.

Spyderco Mt. Rushmore:

- C01 Worker
- Delica
- Native
- Military

My Favorites (for now):

- Native Chief Rex 45
- Kapara 20CV
- Mantra 1
- Lil' Native S90V

*I like the addition of the Sharpmaker, but I'll just keep it to knives*

[LSUisSEC]

Good thing i didnt say to include steel in your choice

[Pokey]

These, in various materials, and in no particular order. Mantra, Endela, PM 2, and Shaman. All subject to change.

[JMM]

Top 4 fave models & steels

Paysan - S90V
Police4 - K390
Shaman - Rex45 (TreeRex)
Manix2 - 4V

Lots of later Spyderco models, but missing many excellent earlier Spyderco models. I’ll have to think on it some more before I post my real answer. Hopefully some long term forumites will post their old school picks in the meantime.

*This was interesting. Looked at the Spydie Wiki a little while trying to make a “short” list of some of the more important/iconic/enduring models. Obviously didn’t stop at four and I don’t own all of these.

Caribbean Sheepscliffe

Autonomy 1


Honorable mention goes to the Rock Jumper, Jumpmaster 2, Dragonfly Salt, probably the Chief and Police 4 but I don't have them yet.
