just curious, how do you feel about the grip security on that knife? from looking at it, it seems like it would be relatively easy to slide forward under the blade compared to most other designs

It has a small choil type indention that is smooth. I suppose if your hands were greasy, they might slip. The CF scales are surprisingly grippy though. If I knew how and had the tools I would add jumping to the top and bottom choil type area. That might take away from the smooth fit and finish of the knife though.....

Since most of my Spydercos are folders, I'd say the South Fork. Of course, that's assuming I've already acquired a new Jester and Air, along with a vintage Caly Jr before time was up. Oh, and that a G-10 Lava and updated Perrin FB04 weren't coming out...

If truth be told, I probably don't need anymore knives. I think I can go on with what I have for the rest of my life.

Fixed or folder?

Fixed would probably be the bushcraft.
Folder... I've been eyeing the M4 Manix 2 lately, but not sure about it. I have the smurf Manix and while it is a great, there is far too much grip serrations on the handle.

It has to be the police. It was the first spyderco I saw but I have always bought other, in my view, more practical knives.

hard to decide. I've been wanting the Gayle Bradley for a while now, so I guess that's my choice.

Wow, lots of interesting and educational responses, which was what I was hoping for ;) . I'm still not sure what I'd pick myself, especially since my humble harem is still in the developmental stages, I'm still just covering the basics,LOL !! :D

Yojimbo 2 is the only thing on my list at the moment. Do I get to keep my mini grip and buck/hood punk that are both on the way?

Temperance 2. No fixed blades in my group so far and this one is one I have wanted but really haven't had the need for. In this scenario it would be the one for me to have.

Good hypothetical question.

I'm currently treating any new knife purchase with the OP's thought in mind. It's not really a hypothetical to me. My last was a Superleaf and I'm very happy with that. We'll see if another opportunity presents itself in the future. More bills are coming due :eek:

I've logged about 5hrs 'hard use' on mine, and haven't had an issue.. Granted, the main cuts were draw and draw/push cuts.. It's a fairly beefy handle..easy to grip.. :)
I walk away slow tonight,
and cut through the air
with a curse, like a knife.
