Pick One Favorite.

[TheGiant80]

If my Police 4 Pakkawood wasn't stuck at the border for more than a month now, it would probably be number 1.

Things as they are though, the combo edge blacked-out Endura 4 is my top pick. The best all-arounder I've got.

I like big, USA made knives with exceptionally pointy tips. This makes the Military, Chief, and Siren the top contenders. The Military edges the other two out because how natural and fluid the action is and I find it more comfortable in use.

That is precisely why I’m hesitant on the Military 2; I’m concerned my perfect knife no longer will be. I’ll try it out of course and hope to be proven wrong. If I don’t like it, there’s a chance the Chief or Siren could claim the throne.

Could I ask what’s having you skeptical on the 2

Three things: I don’t particularly care for where the compression lock sits in the web of my hand — a liner lock or back lock is preferred. My PM2, Para3 and Yo2 rarely see pocket time. I’m unsure about the cutout for the liner-lock being removed; is it a better or worse fit? Also, from an aesthetic standpoint, I prefer the floating stop pin to the screwed pin. I’m frequently wrong and will be happy to admit so in this case if I like the changes once in hand, but I’m skeptical none the less.

Favorite for what application is always the question. For EDC, mine would be the Mantra 2.

Today it is the...

probably the only real way to answer a question like this.

It truly is.
In my opinion, this tread is actually just a new version of "What Spyderco is in your pocket".

[Baenz]

It wasn't my first Spyderco but the Delica is the perfect size and feel for most of my daily needs. The first time I opened it without Spydie-flicking I knew this was the one. After that my obsession with Spyderco was solidified.

Took me years to finally cave in… MANIX 2

Great taste

[HolySteel]

Yes. You CAN do it. Pick your favorite Spyderco. If you can't pick just one, just head on out the back.

Mine is my PM2 Crucarta. It is absolutely mechanically perfect, with the smoothest action I've ever felt on any Spyderco knife. Coupled with the awesome blade steel. the steel liners, and the scales, makes it my favorite.

I normally carry a PM2 Cruwear with brown micarta scales, and love all the things you mentioned, so I guess it's my favorite :) ... but there are three others in a tight second and two additional ones that are so beautiful they are safe queens <=== I hate admitting that!

...but I only named one, so I didn't violate your request.

If I'm really honest, probably the K390 Stretch 2.

Yep -- me too. It's the only one of which I have a spare tucked away.
Make it in Magnacut and I'll buy at least 3.

[Ramonade]

The Native 5

Right now the linered S35VN version is still at the top but the LW LC200N and G10 Cruwear are not far behind at all.

[Wandering_About]

If I'm really honest, probably the K390 Stretch 2.

Yep -- me too. It's the only one of which I have a spare tucked away.
Make it in Magnacut and I'll buy at least 3.

I'd do the same!

Police 4 g10 k390, I wish I had 3 of them

[vivi]

Easy. Pacific Salt 1 PE.



It's the only pocket knife I carry.

[dsm]

Torn here between a Dragonfly (ZDP or K390) or the Stretch 2 in K390. Very different size wise. For me, I’m probably leaning Dragonfly

[warriorsociologist]

Easy. Pacific Salt 1 PE.
It's the only pocket knife I carry.

Mine says "hi" to you, Vivi!

One of these days I'll switch to one of these two

[Airlsee]

Mantra 1 is my favorite Spydie and fills the entire Goldilocks zone...
