I purchased too many to pick a favorite but one stands out as a special piece.

On word to describe this piece would be - Iconic.

Being gifted the cutout blank from Eric to go with it was the cherry on top.

BEYOND WORDS! :O
It is a very well executed piece! I'm going to set up a display just for this knife alone. :respect :bug-white-red

So nice they brought back the old leather sheath design to compliment the steel . Dan
The sheath is really nice. I love the embossed Spyderco Moran logo and Moran makers mark. Also the custom cover on the pamphlet is a subtle feature but it's a really nice touch for a piece like this.

The Seconds Sale Python Shaman has had the most pocket time of any of my knives so far, but close behind it is the SE Chaparral (also Seconds) and the satin PM2 Salt...

Sage 6 has been my favorite this year. I got the S90V version and put some AWT scales on it. By far my most carried knife of the year. It’s lightweight and disappears in the pocket. Big fan of the button lock, it’s fidget friendly and easy to use. And the AWT scales make it even more comfortable in the hand.

This Chap lives in my pocket organizer, which lives in my daypack, so it's pretty much always with me.

I ever break down and buy a Sage 6, how you have done yours with AWT scales, is exactly how I will do mine.

I have three Manix knives with the AWT scales on them and they are awesome. Great looking knife you got there...

I can't even begin to say which is #1
It has been one heck of a knife year ! ! !
All I can do is call the top ~ five to the stage in no particular order :

Drunkin
&
Slym
&
belive it or not . . . right up at the top is the Burgundy PD#1 Delica ; something about that little sucker really pleases me in sight and in hand .
&
THE TRIO : I had them all with me today and worked all of them off and on all day . THE TRIO = M4 Tenacious blade swapped to black handle (all three have been) . . . then Same knife again with blade upper half cut away for thinner blade / kept the Spyie Hole ; is better for cutting curves . . . then Same knife again with blade cut short like a Micro Jimbo .
Dang these three work hard for me and make me smile . THANK YOU ERIC !

but then I sit down and handle or carry the first three at the start of this post and feel very thankful to have them .

Honorable spot light on Para 3 BBB 15 V (black handle swap)
And I took my Siren from 2024 and upped it to S90V . . . so there is that monster too !

yeah can't begin to decide .

My highlight was the Military 2's in 15V. I also added a backup S90V.

Honourable mention for another brand: CRK Mnandi in Box Elder and Magnacut, nearly impossible to find in stock.

Great find! The PPT is Spyderco's greatest knife of all time. ;) :respect

Para 3 salt for me. I'm a sucker for some MagnaCut.

I have wanted a Kapara for years. Beautiful knife. I finally got one this year, but instead of the standard S30V and carbon fiber, I got a Knife Center exclusive, S90V with burlap micarta. It's a nice as I expected it to be. I also have to include the Mule Team MT46P Magnamax, with Stoner CNC scales.

Probably a NIB OG micarta Street Beat. I doubt I'll carry it much, but it's awesome.
