What is YOUR favorite every day carrying Spyderco?

[RIOT]

Im sure a bunch of you know that mine is the Delica, it fits my hand perfect and its been with me since day one of my 1st Spyder.

With that being said im always searching for something else that i could carry everyday. I havent gotten a small Persian yet but it looks pretty worthy of EDC

Whats is your personal favorite EDC aka (what is in your pocket the most that you love and cant replace) ?

[ozspyder]

Hey Riot,

Don't buy too many Delicas mate.... once you get that Mini P you'll be hard pressed to get that outta your pocket.

For me it is the Large Persian for about 80% of the time with a Kopa :D I can't seem to shift both of those for some time now.

Those are closely followed by Mini Persian, Delica and CalyIII.

Cricket CF SE - there is almost nothing it can't do - including passing these 'alternate' EDC tests:
- "aww its so cute"
- "wow whats that thing made of?"
- "thats not a knife..."

...not to mention cutting through absolutely anything at all with ease - including clamshells (and if not careful, whatever is protected by the clamshell too) - and every type of packaging imaginable. I used it gardening today.. its really good in the garden!!

Best in hand, feel and tool-confidence though is totally mini-manix... it just doesn't pass the social elements I like in an EDC test.

It must be said though, if the AUD wasnt so borked right now Id have had a mini-persian here which might have changed things. Until the world picks up, I shant know though

[brj]

my basic setup consists of a SS Cricket inside my wallet and a regular S30V Millie in RFP - these seem to cover 99% of my cutting needs
however, from time to time, I have short 'bursts' of passion for other :spyder: s, the Kriss being the current favourite

lol honestly i cant stop on the Delicas ! I just made some offers on more that i dont have in the line up, hopefully the offers go through, i think they will?

as for the Persian, im into the smaller knives that arent so big in pocket and in hand keeping the blade just big enough which might make the small Persian pretty nice for me. dont know though cause i dont have one yet. soon...

[spydutch]

I guess it will be the SS Cricket/SE. Many times I try to replace it with one of my Delica's, but everytime I cut with the Cricket I'm truly amazed by the cutting power of the little bugger.

Great as rescue tool as well. A while back I managed to cut a heavy leather belt in two with one pull :eek: :D

The reason I try to replace it with the Delica is that it looks a bit funny: that little blade in my gorilla hands :eek:

Time to slip that folding serrated parrot beak in my pocket again for a while

Most days it's a Stretch in my back pocket, a Kiwi in my watch pocket, and a Jester on my keyring. Stretch will be either the Lignum Vitae one STR rebuilt for me, or a Stretch II that, aside from having the clip removed, is "stock". Kiwi can be any one of my flock, some get chosen more often than others, but all get carried occasionally. Jester, in burgundy micarta, is the one constant. It's been on my keyring for five years now.

[EXCALIBUR]

I like to carry a Byrd Robin IWB and Byrd Finch on my keychain.

[azrida21]

I love to carry the Captain as my EDC. :spyder:

[choubbi]

Black FRN Calypso Jr ZDP-189.

it would be the Caly III CF/ZDP-189 if it had a small swedge like the Calypso Jr and if it allowed tip-down carry.

[freeman7]

Most days either my old AUS-8 combo edge Jess Horn at the barn. In the office a ZDP Horn. For "dress-up" a Kiwi....usually Gold Pearl.

For me the Kris has been the pocket hog now since I got it. I also usually have something else too like a D4, Caly 3 or mini Persian, but the Kris is the main EDC. Second place lately has been the big Persian. But again, the Kris has seen the most pocket time for sure since I got it over the summer. Oh, did I mention I REALLY like the Kris?? :D

With that said, I think you should give the mini Persian a try. Like all of Ed's designs, it feels just about perfect in the hand, looks beautiful but it is a true work horse that can handle pretty much anything you can throw at it. I also find that they sharpen up to ultra-scary-razor-sharp very easily and even with the hollow grind, are super slicers. The good thing in your case is, there is only one variant so you won't go broke buying up all the different versians! :rolleyes: :D

[JBE]

For some reason I cannot get my yellow SE Salt 1 with the stripped clip out of my pocket lately. I'm really liking serrated H1 goodness... :D

[gac]

You're all mistaken. The Native is the best.

[Pancho]

I had a Byrd Raven in my pocket for over a year - until a couple of weeks ago when I bought a Tenacious at the SFO. Now the Tenacious is always in my pocket.

[ChapmanPreferred]

I start with this group and then accessorize with other Spydercos.

[McBain]

A PE VG-10 Caly III is always my default, but I like to try different knives all the time. The Caly III usually gets picked because if my fiancee and I are leaving the house, I will stand in front of my open SpyderPac, frantically picking a knife. Then I get yelled at "you're not trying to decide what knife to bring with, are ya?" Then I get panicked and grab the Caly III...

"We're only going to return a movie!!" LOL :D :D

I do a good rotation, but at work it's always a PE Para with an orange 79mm Rescue. If it is field work where I am going to be in a stream, H1 Mariner.

[rorschach]

During travel its always a Dragonfly. (my new white one)
Lately at home it's my new CF Caly3. I can see this is going to get a lot of pocket time!

[BHDKnifer]

A foliage green 1/2 serrated endura 4 for play. 2 fully serrated endura 2's for work.

Hey Riot,

I agree with Daniel 100%. I used to carry two Delicas PE and SE, until I got Persian and Caly3 G10/VG10. I carry these knives every day for more than two years and nothing can take them out of my pocket (Volpe and Lum were very close, but didn't make it). Few days a week Kopa join (not replace) both of them.

as for the Persian, im into the smaller knives that arent so big in pocket and in hand keeping the blade just big enough which might make the small Persian pretty nice for me. dont know though cause i dont have one yet. soon...

It sound like C105 Persian and Caly3 were made for you.
