Over the years I've acquired and sold a bunch, but the ones I always end up keeping and using are:

>Military (BG-42 is my fave)
>Delica
>Kris
>Lg Persian
>SE Tasman

My honorable mentions, and it almost hurt to leave these off my top 5, would be Rock Salt, VG-10/FRN Stretch 2, Khukuri, Mini Persian and Manix 2.
I prefer to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.
I LOVE MY MILLIES

In no particular order:

-Delica (blue FFG, G-10 FFG, and the good old black FRN one)
-Temperance 2
-Mini Manix
-Tasman
-Endura 3

Those are the ones I use the most, but there are others that I love dearly as well.

Interesting... out of all these replies, I don't think any 2 people had the same top 5. That really says a lot about the depth of Spyderco's product line.

What most surprises me is how many times the Tasman is listed. I have it and like it, but it never struck me as the kind of knife that would be in the overall top five for such a wide range of users.

3. Jester Micarta PE

Haven't had a chance to get the Caly 3.5 or the Para 2, but I imagine they will be as awesome as their predecessors...
