Spyderco Forums

So many great choices and it's a difficult decision. I'll also pick from knives I actually own and for me it would have to be the Mantra.

SpydieChef, by a couple of smidges over either of the two M4 PM2 exclusives, themselves by just a smidge over the Sage5, which altogether are the only releases for 2016 that I acquired.

It's not on the list but made the deadline...

ParaMilitary 3!

Blurple.

Let's call it the Millitary, though the series is what I have in mind.

Special mention for the Nirvana, heck of a knife, not what I was looking for. YMMV.

Nirvana, all the way. It's production price may be too high for me, but the photo of the one that was picked up at the SFO second's sale is the reason I will be going next year.

Runner up, in my $$ ballpark, and also currently in my pocket is the Cru-Wear PM2. Thanks to Spyderco CQI the running production models will always keep up to the newer releases!
Cheers,

Taichung F/F, great ratios and carryability, insane value proposition compared to Spyderco and other brands.
It also has those Spyderco features (and build quality) while bridging over to a more mainstream look.

Hap40 Stretch.

Native5 40th Anniversary!

Of those I got my top choices are: Native5 40th Anniversary, Pattada, Advocate and Sage5.

Looks like GB2 and Stretch HAP40 are the top choices in this thread.

Stretch Lightweight HAP40/SUS 410 Burnt Orange FRN Sprint

Stretch HAP40

Very practical, and I have one.

I don't have many on that list, but I think I need to get a GB2, Sage 5 and a Hap40 Stretch, all of which are on my want list.

Of what I do own, my Mantra has become my favorite knife.

The 52100 and the 204P military are both outstanding. I use my 204P more but my vote goes to the 52100 miltary

I only want to vote for a knife that I own, so...
Sage 5

My vote goes to the Mantra (even though I removed the flipper tap).

Lol....thats neat, as I use my 52100 more, but voted for the 204p.
Really, what I wanted to convey was the new CQI Millie in general, whether it be blurple, 52100 or 204p

Ouroboros. (Design)


Nirvana. (Manufacturing/Construction)
