Hmmm...I'm surprised the SS Police isn't in there? <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
I think the poll is not really a reflection of the majority of owners out there, who probably do not read forums or collect lots of knives. I think I read once that the top sellers for Spyderco are the serrated Delica and Endura models. That might have to do with the fact that most non-knife specific places that sell Spydercos (i.e., outdoor/sporting goods stores, etc.) tend to sell only the fully or partly serrated versions of knives, and even then, I've never seen a Military in one of these stores. Which leads me to believe the survey is not a true reflection of the top sellers.
It seems most top sellers would be influenced by price, utility, and availability for non-knife nuts.

I think the average J.Q. Public type knife buyer buys what looks cool. So, cool looks => high sales. Knife people buy anything sharp, but we USE what works. Sometimes cool looking knives also perform great, like the Military. Other knives that perform superbly, like the Calypso's, don't really catch the average buyers eye, so they don't really sell that well. Thus we lose out on some truly fine lines sometimes. It's sad because future knife lovers that don't get in when they are available miss out on some super tools.
