My favorite is the Delica 3. Of all the Spydies I've handled, this one stands out as a simple, fantastic, and reliable folder.

If I could only keep one of my Spydies it would be the BG-42 Military.

It's going to be between the CF Millies, the Para and the ZDP Caly 3. But with Spyderco constantly coming out with new stuff, I'm just not sure it if I can continue to commit too much emotion to any one model anymore :D .
Also "Kaizen1" on BF, "ignoramus" on CPF & EDCF. "kaizenrei" on KF, "Kaizen" on USN.

Ouch, this is a tough one. Hmmmm I can't pick one because I always carry two. One for the EDC jobs and the other for one of those down a dark alleyway situations. So I'll go with the Endura 4 plain edge for EDC and the carbon fiber serrated Harpy for MBC.

You guys have no idea how hard it was for me to not pick the millie though :p

The best ever for me is the SS Pro-Venator, ATS-55 steel, 40/60 combo blade.

I really hate these questions because it is so hard to pick just one. It would be a toss up between a few .. Either SS ATR SE, Endura CE, Adventura and Caly 3 SE. I just cant decide cuz I love em all so much.

After giving this a whole bunch of thought, and analyzing the list of every Spydie I've ever owned...I was able to narrow it down to three choices.

#3.) D'Allara Rescue: Love the Ball-lock, the grippy handles and the aggressive blade config. Also the opening action on this thing is still Silky Smooth. This one has either been a primary EDC or in my auto B.O.B. since I got it.

#2.) Manix: Flat out the sharpest knife I've ever owned, for everything from Kitchen Prep, to the folder I carry camping; the ergos, heft and Steel have made it one of my favorite Spydies.

#1.) DKPK: My Manix's smaller cousin from Denmark, who doesn't lock.
I realized a short time ago that I was never going to lead a SEAL Team, fight Ninjas or Zombies and that 99.9% of my cutting could be accomplished with a small slip-joint knife. That being said: why not a small slip-joint with exceptional materials...that I could carry anywhere in the world (almost...for those listening in from the TSA and Dept. of Homeland Security) the DKPK has worked out just perfectly for me, and for the reasons above is MY favorite Spydie ever made.

Honorable mentions: Lum Chinese, D2 Millie, G10 Endura FFG, H1 Mariner, ZDP Delica, Street Beat. Oh and the Volpe...I like the Olive Wood.

I'd have to say the knife with the hole in it :D :p

So difficult to choose because different purposes call upon different knives (usually). For all roundedness I' say toss up between Persian, Caly III, Delica, Native. Best LBK would be Kopa or Ladybug.
