My Spyderco Military Ti (Pry it out of my cold, dead hands when I die)
Spyderco Military M4 Ti/"CF" (my error, not G10)
My Spyderco BG42 (I look forward to the day I wear it out, and have to buy another C36)

Ha! Sal has said that he has retired down to 40 hours a week! Sal is the energizer bunny.

All of my answers should say "so far" at the end as I am at the beginning of what feels like a long obsession with Spyderco knives...


1. PM2- my first...

2. Slysz Bowie- have not seen one in person...

3. PM3- Just to keep me from buying one...

Keep M4 Manix2 (my only duplicate)
Try Slysz Bowie (to weaken my resistance to price)
Retire flippers; or lightened hefty knives; or cladded blades

1. Name the one Spyderco knife you would use exclusively. :spyder:

2. Name the one Spyderco you don't have but want to try out. :spyder:

3. Name the one Spyderco design you would "permanently retire".

This is supposed to be fun I insist on no hurt feelings please. :D

Maaaaaan this is tough. I'm assuming the "keep 1 forever" is out of the knives one already owns.
1. Delica 4 HAP40. My wife bought this for me as a Christmas present and a surprise at that, so it's tops for me in sentimental value. Plus, it's not like I'd give up performance if this were my only knife, because Delica. Runner-up: Tie, DF2 HAP40, Nirvana
2. Tie: Para Military 2, Slysz Bowie. I don't own either one.
3. Techno. "WHAT?! WHY?!", you ask? Well the answer is, naturally, because I want the Techno 2 to be produced. :p
