What was your 1st Spyderco, and …

[Jesla]

Cricket, gen1 steel. Bought about 1995. Replace a 503 Buck that I carried for 30 odd years. Made a great money clip.

[Evil D]

First - Native LW, around 2005

Favorite - Bodacious, but there's also a long list of honorable mentions.

[horzuff]

The first Spyderco (and a first higher quality knife) was the Tenacious. Considering getting the M4 version as a nostalgic throwback (as I traded the first one years ago)

The favorite is definitely the Military 2 with the Stretch 2 XL LW and Police 4 LW ex aequo on the second spot (both in K390 of course)

[Bergy24]

First - Para 3 G-10 Black/Black Blade - C223GBK

The Endura was my first introduction to Spyderco. Bought several of them in the early 90's when a couple of my buddies became EMTs, and kept one for myself. I subsequently gave that away to a trauma nurse at the hospital I worked at back then.

My favorites are the framelocks - Sage 2, Ti Military, Drunken, PPT (I like this so much even though it's a liner lock, but I had to get it converted to a Ti framelock )

[Paul Ardbeg]

First one: Tenacious
Favorite: Multiple. GB2, Manix 2 Crucarta, Military, Caly 3.5......to name a few.

I honestly can't remember, it was either a serrated GIN-1 Black coated handle Cricket or my Wegner Jr? I still have both of them. They both were around the same timeframe. Think the Cricket was first, mid nineties?

Favorite? Between my Crucarta Manix 2 and my serrated K390 Leafjumper? That'll change tomorrow!

First - Original Endura (95' or so)
Favorite - Manix 2 15V

[Stas]

First — Chaparral Sun & Moon
Favorite — Massad Ayoob CRU-WEAR

[Ramonade]

First - Native 5 G10, the one with S35VN and liners. Not the earliest one since it had a finish that wasn't satin.

Favorite - A bit like Jeff, really hard to tell, I have at least 5 that could compete... But if I got by heart : Native 5, G10, liners Not even the S90V and CF one, the basic one.

The acoustics, feels, memories. A lot of things :) It's been sporting Ziricote scales for 2 years and only sees gentle use, I care for it more than I do for the Bowie, Watu or even A.T.R. Ti !
