Pick One Favorite.
Re: Pick One Favorite.
Native 5.
If I had to narrow it, the KnifeCenter Exclusive Cruwear DLC & Smooth Black G10. Limited to production I'd go with the new Magnacut Salt PE.
Best knife for my hand, and only the PM2 CruCarta comes close.

Right now it's the St Nick's 4V Military. I plan to give it a real workout this field season and then I'll know for sure.

UKPK here, pretty much any frn version, but pe lc200n has dominated since I got it. Just the perfect iwb edc for me.

Re: Pick One Favorite.
So many favorites, but if picking just one it would have to be one or another Delica or a derivative there of.
Re: Pick One Favorite.
actually pretty easy for me
I love the linerless, single-piece FRN handle, and the blade shape and geometry is perfect for my uses. I grew up with pinned knives, and while I sometimes miss the ability to tweak the pivot and lockbar screw, the simplicity of pinned construction is nice too.
Unsurprisingly the Pac Salt 1 is another favorite, although I don't have one at the moment.

Salt 2 Wharncliffe

Endura ZDP-189.
Manbug salt has the most pocket time over the last few months.

Easy: Pac Salt (1 or 2 doesn't matter). Pac Salt 2 in PE LC200N is what I use the most.

Re: Pick One Favorite.
I have just 5 models, but I’m in the same Delica 4 camp today. Mine is the M390 navy frn - stays crazy sharp. Great ergos, right amount of cutting edge, slicey, and not scary looking (yes, that’s a thing unfortunately).
(Close second, Mule Team - great program!)
MT39P-15V, MT33P-Rex76; Sage1-Maxamet, Endela-K390, Delica4-M390, PM2-K390, PM2-S30v, Dragonfly2-SB, AmbitiousSE-8Cr13MoV; others TBD
Re: Pick One Favorite.
UKPK HH edition, cause it has a full length metal backspacer
Re: Pick One Favorite.
SE>> The Cruwear C-60 Ayoob model
PE>> M390 Military
Overall The C-60 Ayoob model still ranks high with every variant.
It's kind of tough for me to pick just one. Because when it comes to Spyderco knives I'm like a kid in a "RUSSELL STOVER''s" Candy Store.

Re: Pick One Favorite.
Sage 2.
Thinner stock (3mm) leaf blade. 50/50 choil and Sal ergos. Minimal (blade, scales, 2 standoffs, 2 washers, 1 pocket clip, 6 screws). Excellent materials and execution. Widely regarded as the best Spyderco EDC knife for years.
Other contenders in my collection, like the SpydieChef and Kapara have yet to supplant it. There are better steel knives like the Stretch 2 K390 for when I know I will cut things. But for EDC carry, 3"+Ti handles+deep carry wire clip is a great combo.

Re: Pick One Favorite.
Nice. There's something so classic about this generation of Enduras. The sleek lines, the lightweight linerless construction, the pointy tip and saber-ground blades -- it's what comes to mind when I think "pocketknife". Just, the basic classic pocketknife, functional and clean and useful. It's not my top favorite (that's the Amalgam), but my Endura 3 gets a lot more pocket time than many others in my collection.endura3 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 16, 2023 6:45 am

Re: Pick One Favorite.
The 15V PM2 is the best knife Spyderco has ever made. Everything else is just filler.
Re: Pick One Favorite.
Still the Native 5.
Don't know if it'll every be surpassed by another in my eyes. But the Chaparral, PM2 and Domino are not far behind. Not far at all !

In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.
