No more messing around...
Re: No more messing around...
Impossible task.
I have trouble to choose only one knife to carry daily at this time. And even if I choose, I am sure that Sal will make something better in the future. So why should I limit myself.
I love my Natives, Persian, Calys and Jester. But I am looking forward to see Shaman and many others.

Re: No more messing around...
So much love for the Para 2, and they are coming back in stock now.
Must resist buying one until a nice exclusive or sprint comes out. Not a big willpower kind of a guy when it come to these kind of things though.

On my radar: 110V Military, Police 4 and some sweet Rex 45 Military action.
Newest Spydies: S90v Ti Military, Pacific Salt and a special Kiwi.

I am very surprised nobody has mentioned the Gayle Bradley folder. No, it's not stainless, but I've had zero issues with rusting, and it's easy to get a ridiculously sharp edge on it. The build quality is off the charts. EVERYTIME I pull it out of the safe to carry it I can't help to admire the level of fit and finish it shows.

I'll probably spend most of my future in an office unfortunately so I could probably go with a chaparral 1

Amazing knife! If the thread said two knives, it would be a toss up between the south fork and Bradley to pair with the chaparralPaddy B wrote:I am very surprised nobody has mentioned the Gayle Bradley folder.

Re: No more messing around...
Not a bad choice at all!
If your parting with your knives, what are you doing with the others?

Re: No more messing around...
Is the world going to carry on as it is now? ....I'll go with the M390 PM2. Perfect all around steel in a tough, comfortable package.
Is this the apocalypse? ...Give me a Serrata. Zombie smashing, door prying, wood chopping heft, with classic Spydie sensibility and quality.

Re: No more messing around...
Simple it would be my first, C05 - Economy. It's been in my pocket since 1987. It been around the world, blown up an lost for a month in Iraq (I knew where but couldn't go back after it at the time). It road as a backup for a few years when I got my C65S. But the C65S failed, Sal will get it soon to see if she can be saved.
I have others, but the C05 was my first. Nothing after 27 years has really replaced her. Just a little side fling here an there :)

Re: No more messing around...
Simple. The original Starmate. I'm talking about superior ergos combined with CPM 440V goodness in a 60/40 combo-edge. :D Can it get much better than this?
Not really easy to choose one
Hi Folks!
So, one and only one knife forever?
Right now it's gonna be the Techno. :cool:
And when available it's gonna be the Slysz Bowie. :D

If I could have one and only one, the A.T.R. would be it.

Military CPM S90V w/ Carbon fiber scales. Although I would greatly miss the pair of Crickets that hold my keys up day in and day out without complaint.
