Knives that you just can't keep your hands off

[fredswartz]

Still in the honeymoon stage. The Phoenix
Is my first choice and the Captain is the
second. Two great knives. I have been there
before with countless Spydercos. Same with
the Junior until I had to send it back
for re-edging.

What are your favorites at the moment?

[Ukelay]

Blue lightweight Manix 2 for me. For now, at least. :D

[RanCoWeAla]

Right now it is the Manix 2 XL and my new Junior that I just got Saturday. My Junior has the best edge I have ever seen on any knife so thanks for sending yours back maybe that helped bring about a fix to this problem.

I have two knives laying on the desk in front of me...a Para 2 20CP and a standard Military. I'd say lately they've both got about the same amount of attention. Beyond that i find myself tinkering with my Ladybugs a lot too.

[gbelleh]

Lately, it's been the M390 Para 2, orange Dodo, and the Sage 4.

M390 para 2 and PPT, I let my caly 3.5 in my pocket yesterday and today, probably put the ppt there tomorrow. the design is just so wicked. I would LOVE if spyderco did a large ppt with elmax :rolleyes:

Several versions of the Stretch The Lignum Vitae one STR customized for me over five years ago. I must have opened and closed it 10K times or more and still find rubbing my thumb along the wood relaxing. Not to mention that it's pleasing to my eyes as well and that I've probably done more cutting with it than with all my other knives combined. The CF/ZDP version. The peel-ply CF gives it a totally different tactile sensation, more like rubbing your finger on a file, but still pleasant to just sit there, opening and closing. The VG-10 FRN version. Yet another different tactile sensation. Not smooth, like wood, but not rough like the CF either, just sort of bumpy. The incredible bolstered version Sal sent me, out of the blue. Extremely beautiful to look at, very pleasant to touch, and, like the others, fluidly smooth to operate. All four of them share the same relationship between the handle, pivot, and Spyderhole that feels like it was engineered specifically for my left hand. It lets my thumb follow a super smooth and comfortable arc when opening.

I am a bigger blade knife fan and the Millie has been my favorite since I first got one.
It seems like the last one that you got is your favorite for a while, but you end up
going back to your old flame.

Right now I keep looking at my Gail Bradley and wonder why it took so long for
me to get it. (I always have a Yo2 or Massad Ayoob for SD though)

[enduraguy]

My Millie. Nothing fancy, "just" an S30V blade, black handle. Love it. Para 2 is back in its' box for the time being. :eek: To add, the Millie just feels like a lot more solid of a knife. Call me crazy. LOL

[Fat Goat Forge]

I really like to flip open my Gayle Bradley and my PM2. I also like my UKPK drop point a lot lately.

I too just re-aquired a Captain and a Street Beat. I didn't realize how much I loved both of them until I did without them for a while. I also did a radical change in my EDC>> I moved up to a Spyderco C-60, G-10 handled Massad Ayoob and I couldn't be happier.

I literally can't keep my hands off Spyderco's hawkbills>> I just recently lost or had stolen from me my G-10 Harpy which I've replaced with the yellow H-1 Spyderhawk SE.

Also I can't even hardly go a day without using one of my Catchermans. Mostly use the full Spyderedged one that I've had for years. But the Catcherman is about my favorite for culinary uses.

I rarely carry my Yojimbo 2. But nearly every night before I retire I pull it out of my knife drawer and open and close it a few times. It's a little ritual.

[jackknifeh]

Sage4 and Gayle Bradley. Sage4 is a little over a month old for me so the "brand new" has worn off and it is still a favorite. That's a good sign it will stay one of my favorites. Both are a treasure to just open/close as I'm doing something else (no, not driving :) ). GB is enbelieveable smooth and the Sage4 has the resistance that screams strength. The resistance is due to the strength of the lock bar spring. When I push the lock release the blade falls down.

I also enjoy using them to cut stuff. :)

Any variation of the Para 2 and my M390 Millie.

[mikerestivo]

Mine is currently the orange Dodo.

[kbuzbee]

These:



Both are perfect and actually have me questioning why I have two other knives on order I just can't imagine it getting any better than these.

My Ti UKPK. I keep it at my desk, sans clip, and it is like a "worry stone"... I flick it open and closed while I work at my computer. Works great as a therapy device...

my spydies i have had my hands on constantly lately----m390 PM2, caly 3.5 SB, and Manix 2 M4

[coonan]

My XHP Millie and the Super Leaf.

[bh49]

My Persian and Calys still go strong. But lately I also play a lot with Temp2 and Orange Para. My Orange Dodo is out of town, I missed it that much, so yesterday pick another one.
