That would be this one:

Hard to pick just one.

The Aquasalt is a solid fixed blade, light for its size with a practical blade shape.

The Delica is the Delica. K390 cuts and cuts and cuts, making it the go-to for repetitive tasks. The Wharnie blade is the icing on the cake.

The Endura is a good all-around work knife. Combo edge = Best of both worlds.

For me it's the MuleTeam! There is 30 or 40 roaming around the house and I'm super thankful the project still continues.

The Shaman. I just bought it and it's my first Spyderco as well as the only one I have ever used. It fits my hand so well in a way I didn't even know a pocket knife could.

The Manix 2 lockback is the one I'd part last with in the collection. Such a loud and satisfying snap when that lock engages. None of the uncomfortable liner jimping from the cbbl Manix 2 and one of Spyderco's most ergonomic knives. It didn't get the love it deserved, but it's the benchmark I compare everything else against.

One favorite? You're kidding right?

I currently have a Sliverax on me. So I'll go with that....

Image

But it could easily be one of several Spyderco models

Paysan

Image

or

40th Native (or Fluted CF/S90V or Fluted Ti, or any of the N5LWs I have)
Image

or

Sage 4 (or Sage 1, 2, 3, or 5)
Image

or

Mantra
Image

or

Caly 3 or 3.5
Image
Image

or....

I can keep going all night. So probably best to say that I have many favorites

So tough to pick just one favorite, but mine would be the Delica 4 in K390. This knife fits my hands well, holds an edge for a long time, and sits light and slim in the pocket.

Thanks for the opportunity to enter and happy National Knife Day to all!

My favorite Spyderco is the Delica, and it has my favorite lock. It is a great size for all around use and carry.

My favorite knife is the Shaman because it's robust and ergonomically speaking, near perfect. Hoping the get the bodacious soon.

It’s nearly impossible to pick one favorite so I’ll just go with probably my most carried, the Native 5 in magnacut. I usually gravitate towards larger knives but the Native line is a smaller knife that feels much larger in hand (coincidentally why I love the Para 3 as well).

Can’t beat a Delica for a use and not cry if you loose it knife.
Have several expensive Spyderco knives but when I walk out the door to work it’s a Delica.

My favorite Spyderco is my s110v PM2. It’s a workhorse, holds an edge for ever, and isn’t that difficult to sharpen.

Impossible!! Too many unique, cool, and practical knives that just work well to have one favorite.

At this time until I get a Bodacious, (I have been excited about a choiless Golden model since the Polestar was hinted at possibly being brought to Golden) I would say the Sliverax. I like the multiple opening methods and the relatively neutral grip. I also really like the almost Wharncliffe like edge with a slight bit of belly.

I could keep going, but I'll stop there.

Oh so hard, but it's got to be the Native 5 in CF/S90V for me.

That’s really hard to choose! Right now my favorite Spyderco is the Para 3 LW. It’s so light but still has plenty of blade length. Carrying the Magnacut version today.

The military 2 was made for me. Perfect amount of blade. Fits in the hand as well as the pocket. Just got my military 2 in 110 steel.
