There's an "S" missing in your mad steel recipe there Joe (....PSF27). Figured you'd throw some depleted uranium in there too! :D

My three are:

1. Fluted Ti Millie with S90V blade
2. Domino CTS-204P
3. G10 Manbug VG-10

Millie beat the PM2 out, the Domino beat the Caly 3.5 (more fun and I'd miss playing with the flipper!), and the Manbug narrowly beats out a G10 Dragonfly. As much as I'd love to add a fixed blade here, I'm hoping I could still have a kitchen knife somewhere, leaving me three available Spydie folder options. Fun thread Lance! Cheers, Radioactive :)

[DutchBlades]

Hmm... 5 would be easier... :p

I think I'd have to go with:
1 - Endura Ti/Bone
2 - Gayle Bradley
3 - S90V PM2

[Nate]

Small: Chaparral (runners-up: frn UKPK, Delica)
Medium: Para2 (close 2nd: Caly 3.5)
Large: South Fork (Millie if this list was all folders)

[jmh58]

here's an "S" missing in your mad steel recipe there Joe (....PSF27). Figured you'd throw some depleted uranium in there too!

I did miss that. Thanks. Sorry, no depleted uranium here. Don't want any trouble with my government. I've followed the rules as best I could for 53 years. I feel I'm too old to begin a new career as a criminal of any sort. I did 30 years as a Correctional officer including the last few on injury leave for surgeries ( 4 so far). If I never see the inside again I'll be content with my life. I don't even like watching the prison documentaries so prevalent now on TV. To be honest, I believe they would need to move me out of state to keep me alive and doing time anywhere in my states DOC. That's a bad feeling. :) No depleted anything for this guy.

This one's extremely easy if all we're talking is models, and still fairly simple if we're talking specific knives. The models would be the Stretch, which I consider to be the best "full size" folder on the planet, the Kiwi, which I consider to be a darn fine small folder and the best piece of functional jewelry in existence, and the K05, my most used and all time favorite kitchen knife. If I had to go with specifics within those, they'd be the bolstered Stretch Sal gave me, my David Clevinger engraved sambar stag Kiwi, and the well worn PE K05 that now graces my knife block.

Is that the kiwi in your profile pic Paul? I'm typically not that moved by fancier knives but that is one fine looking piece of work. I look at that pic every time you post and really love it. I'm sure you've already done it in another thread somewhere but could you post some full size pics of that one?

My pleasure Lance,

The CTS 204P Para seems to be one of the favorites here and might be on my list if I could get the one I got at the seconds sale adjusted right. However, the BBL on the Manix is a little more left-friendly.

1. Military S30V Left Hand
2. Military S30V Left Hand (backup)
3. Manix S110V

[edge-e]

1 south fork
2 k2 10v
3 slysz

[WorkingEdge]

Tuff
Southard
Techno

...apparently I have a thing for Taiwan Collaborations.

[JD Spydo]

That's an extremely tough one for me :rolleyes: because I have so many Spyders I wouldn't want to do without. But here is a list off the top of my prioritized way of thinking.

(1) C-44 Dyad
(2) Temperance 1 PE & SE
(3) Catcherman full SE

Like I said it would be a very tough call to eliminate all my Spyders down to the last 3>> But those 3 listed are truly time tested old standbys I never want to part with. Case Closed!

[FCM415]

VG 10 Delica
SB or ZDP Endura
ZDP Stretch
204P PM2

Oops that's four.

All my fancier models takes a back seat to Spyderco's bread and butter models it looks like.

[wrdwrght]

Today?

Cruwear Manix2
M4 Bradley Folder (in my pocket today)
S110V Native5

Tomorrow?

...

[christopher]

Got to have:

Gayle Bradley
Domino
Calpso Jr in ZDP189

And then for a fixed blade:

Rock Salt

I know that's four, but I figured three folders and 1 fixed blade would be ok.

[pdptrow]

I assume these are from current owned spydies so...:

1. PM2 CTS- 204P
2. Manix 2 M-4
3. Sage 1 -because I almost always carry this
but I'm glad I don't have to keep it to three.

[Enkidude]

Street beat
Caly 3 Super Blue
ESEE 6
If they all need to be Spyderco my third choice would be....Rock Lobster.

[TomAiello]

That photo is awesome!!!!! :D

Looks like a nice LZ, too. :)

[Lebowski22]

1 - pm2
2 - Delica 4 ffg
3 - backup pm2 / native 5 cf s110v / pacific salt yellow spyderedge. Crud. Um....... I pick the native 5 for my number 3. I wear that when the wife wants me to be fancy and do terrible things like put on shoes or long pants.
