1. (Use exclusively) Pacific Salt (Either SE or PE)
2. (Don't own, would like to try) Full sized Calypso
3. (Permanently retire) Endura 4 in favor of the Endura 3 handle pattern. Or, the best of both worlds, the Endura 3 handle shape with Endura 4 construction and FFG blade with no rounded tip.

I'm with you Bloke :D Now if we could just get the Phil Wilson fillet. I've got an older Micro Tech Black Marlin PE in S30v. Nice knife for larger fish, but the stock is somewhat thick. Hacks through rib cage bones without chipping. We need a Punta Chivato or Shelter Cove. My kids (now adults) ;) would be proud to own one.

Definitely.

The only reason I didn't list the Sprig as my "keep forever" choice is that I have non-Spydie fixed blade I'll never part with--my Phil Wilson B&T custom.

Although I have to admit that my K390 Smoke Creek comes a close second. And I'll always appreciate the fact that Phil (who has a waiting list years long) approached me to offer me that one after seeing me post here about my frustration with the demand for his work.

If it's a Phil Wilson design, I'm in--usually for more than one. :)

I'm sure many of you will recognize this game. ;)

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".
:spyder:

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

....

I'll go first,

1. Jade M4 PM 2

2. Lil Temperance

3. Stainless Steel handle Delica (remember I said no hurt feelings ;) )

*EDIT I changed my mind after reading this months spyderbyte :D
Necro thread that i feel deserves a revival. So many new models and variants introduced since the last post. Let's see what the forum opinion is now.

1. Rex45 Native Chief (Reprofiled mine last night and was reminded how much I love this knife in pocket, in hand, and on the benchstone.
2. C270Ti Nand (I'm a sucker for a wharcliffe and I need a nice lightweight dress knife
3. C26 Snap-It. (I am a Spyderco fan partly because of its commitment to function over form, but i never could develop a love for the position of the carabiner clip.

1. The entire catalog.

2. The remainder of the catalog that's not in my possession.

3. Wegner. Just because that's an easy answer, already said to never make a return regardless of what we say...
Going back to Caly.

1. Spydiechef
2. Kapara
3. Delica 4 - simply to make way for a Delica 5; which will have a better designed spring retainer and an edge which comes virtually all the way to the handle. Can’t wait for the Delica 5. ;)
