Work: PE and SE Native Salt in LC200N, SE Native Chief Salt in MC

Gent's folders: Fluted CF S90V Native, Crucarta Native, Maple Chap, 15V/G10 Lockback Lil Native

Safe queens: Fluted Ti Millie and Native

Just one? The best knife Spyderco makes (arguably): the Fluted CF Native 5 in S90V.

My Green Knifeworks 204P Manix 2 is on top of the hill at the moment, I think? But I did just buy a C/F S90V Bodacious, we're still getting to know each other! ;)

After hitting almost 15 years carrying/collecting and the last 6 years of seriously collecting Spydercos I've come full circle to the Delica 4. I've owned almost every Spyderco model I've wanted to try, and came back around to the Delica 4 after culling a couple dozen knives out of the collection last year.

My doodoo brown VG-10 one has around 11 years of carry and was my only knife for about a year when I started seriously getting into knives. Last year and most of this year the Cru-wear and ZDP models have been in the pocket almost daily.

"What is my favorite Spyderco design?" is an easy question to answer. (See sig)

"What is my favorite Spyderco knife that I own?" is much more difficult. (Maybe impossible) It would basically come down to a matter of ranking sentimental value for me.

Endela K390 will be my next purchase. ;)
My Endela K390 Wharncliffe is inbound .
First I decided not to get one . Then I got a big tip at work AND my Fed Tax Return landed in my bank account .
So . . . here we go again .

What's the Blues song (I only hear it on the Jazz station at noon on the radio ) that says something like :

"if I had all the money I've spent I'd be a millionaire"

This is my current favorite. Of course, that will most likely change in a week or so. They're all great in their own ways.

Sage 6 S90V. After years of carrying larger knives, the Sage is just perfect.

Probably the Kris and Darn Dao. Of course if you checked my pocket every day you'd swear it was the H1 SE Spyderhawk.

Used to be my favorite. But I feel that the K390 Lil' Temperance 3 LW does the same jobs better (besides looking classy).

Regardless, the Gayle Bradley Folder has phenomenal geometry and balance. I think it would do well as a fixed blade.
