How's it going, ATE?

My favorite <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> would have to be my PE Military. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Hefty 4" blade, solid lockup, and best of all, the lightweight and slim profile of the handle are my reasons for this Spydie always being close at hand. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Oooh tough question ATE <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I guess the Mouse seems to get most carry. It's tough, looks good, and is small enough not carry and use in most situations without upsetting anybody.

I also love my Military - because of it's light weight and the way it disappears in the pocket. Needless to say, it's the best cutter of any folder I own. However, as it's so big, I don't carry it much.

I also love Crickets. Small, kooky, unique looks. Funnily enough I think I prefer the FRN SE to the plain CF & YY Crickets I own. Shame I sold it! <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Roll on the SS Crickets.

KBR & The Cool -

Have to agree with you both on

the Mili<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I have mine in CE


( otherwise known as combo -or-


P&S <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>) As for the mouse, it's


on my "list". Cool - You SOLD

Anyway, I carry my FRN SE


Cricket for it's "low profile"<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>


GREAT PICS! BTW

[The Cool]

Yeah, sold my FRN SE Cricket. Like a fool! I'll make amends with the SS version via the wonderful Mrs Glasshartt.

Funnily enough, the FRN Cricket was probably the fastest opening Spydie I had. (along with the Salsa).

[KBR]

ATE, my FRN SE Cricket is my house carry because of the reasons that you posted--Compact, lightweight, & "scary sharp" (in SE<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>).

I hope that someday I'll get around to getting the CE Military....

That's easy: My FRN Native PE. Not because it's the best or even close to it, but because it was my first <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> And it was the one that made me fall in love with Spydies and convinced me to buy the next five!

[sc_rebel1957]

Hmmmmmmmmmm, **** yeah that's tough ATE!
If pushed to say exactly which <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> is my favorite RIGHT NOW it's a toss up between the G-10 Rookie or my Calypso micarta VG-10, thanks to KBR <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Ron

4 S TER> you ain't safe up here with that #1 of 300 Native... I might be able to protect it better over here in Saskatchewan...

Currently my favorite <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> is my CE Millie... 2.5" PE gives just enough to do most daily tasks, and the 1.5" SE is great for boxes(ask the pile in the bin at work)... only need a larger knife for chopping mushrooms, and thats my 5.5" Henkles(sp?).

just don't let my calypso jr lt see this post, it might decide to attack my fingers...

It ain't as exclusive as it seems - all 300 were numbered "1 of 300"

So it's just 1 of the 300, not the first 1.

(But it's still a great knife!!!)

My favorite spyderco has been my trusty dragonfly until I received the Native from Linda. However, for over a month, I hadn't dared to use the Native because of the thin tip. An unexpected opportunity came up where I found that the Native was close by, and ever since that event, it's been at my side 6 weeks straight and counting.

It must be my FRN PE Cricket which is always on me inside my LF pocket regardless of what <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> is clipped to my RF pocket.

My native. Fits my hand perfect, even though I have rather big hands. It also fits perfect in the right frontpocket of my jeans. Maybe not very sheeple-friendly, but my co-workers have gotten used to it.

I'm not paranoid. I know they're out to get me

[calyth]

svass: I second your opinion, but for me, it's a best small blade folder that I've ever had. Fit my hand well, agressive cutting steel. It's a very nice piece.
Too bad I lost it somewhere.
I'm impressed by the Chinook as my long blade folder, but I actually prefer the Renegade because it's a clip point (I like to see more traditional looking spydies actually), a nice tip, excellent edge, and it fits my hand just as well. G10 handle is very nice (although I wish the texture is more like the newer Military), and I just say enough good things about it. It probably needs a more pronounced intregral choil.

[ronin203]

I've said it before and i'll say it again, CHINOOK. Nuff said. By the way that picture is the bob lum chinese folder.

[sc_rebel1957]

Morph, the Native tip isn't as weak as it looks.
I've got 3 now and wouldn't hesitate to use either of them, alot has been said about how weak the GIN-1/2 steel is as used in the 1st generation Natives.
I find it to be comparable to AUS-8A for edge holding abilty, in fact it was my favorite EDC for many years.
Then along came the G10 Rookie SE <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> i love so much, but all 3 Natives still make it into the rotation. Ron
