Today? And just Spydies? And knowing I'm not really giving up my Manix2s, PM2s etc., and only yesterday got my first Millie?

Shaman (improved Superleaf, my first-loved Spydie)
SE Spyderhawk Salt (garden sickle)

Tomorrow?

Assuming just Spyderco...
Military. Big is often best.
BB Elmax Urban. Legal, big enough to be useful and small enough to be controllable.
Caly 3 SE. Spyderedge perfection.

- Native 5 G10
- UKPK (G10 S30V)
- Para 3

I'm 44 years old and I find that if I need larger than any of these knives I go to a fixed blade.

1. Pacific Salt SE. EDC folder.

2. Swick 3 with G10 scales & Kydex sheath. Urban fixed blade.

3. Aqua Salt, PE. Camping / hiking fixed blade.

Those would cover all of my bases. What about you?
This is too easy.. Millie, Pacific Salt H1, P4 k390. That's basically all I have, so...
Millies in 52100, S110V, CTS-204p, REX 45; M2 Cru-Wear, CPM15V, Magnacut; Native 5 Maxamet; P4 K390, PD#1; Pacific Salt SE/H1, PS2 LC200N; UK/PK; Autonomy H1
Wants/Wishes (only NIB and EU): Militarys in 52100, Maxamet, Cru-Wear
Yes, Virginia, that's a Purple Haze in my suit pocket :)

Reduce to three models? I have 23 Spyderco knives but in folders I pretty much just have 3 models- Military, PM2 and Manix 2.
I do have 6 Mules though. And the single Swick, GB2 and Dragonfly.

I regularly use only 3 knives anyway, but the 3-knife lineup evolves over time.

1- PM2 *
2- Mule
3- Stretch **

* Starting to feel the PM2 is too finicky to adjustment, and I've also avoided switching to tip-up because of the fairly weak detent. Maybe I'll switch to the Manix 2 for this application, and re-evaluate if the PM2 if gets a CQI treatment.

** I've felt for a while I'd like to switch out of the Stretch for off-duty carry, but I haven't found anything that works better yet. A slimmer (than the Manix 2) caged ball lock model would be the ticket, or a reissued back lock like the Calypso Jr. or C67 R in CF or G10. I thought the Native 5 would be the one but just can't get there with it. Handle and cutting edge a bit too short.
