Are we talking about pinned knives, or riveted knives? Just curious, so I’ll know exactly what we’re talking about.
Well, I guess if we want to keep your head from exploding, this knife is pinned:
while this one is riveted:
So, we're talking about riveted knives, which are commonly referred to as "pinned" on this forum.

G10 Stretch 2 XL for me.
I tend to carry my large knives in coat pockets, bags and cargo pants pockets, that are already filled with flash lights, keychains, change and similar heavy stuff anyway; I don't worry about the weight too much, except in the summer when I almost always edc a Native or a Chap.
But what I miss the most in all these LW models are PB washers.

The G10 Cruwear Stretch XL has been my most carried knife the last year however I carry the VG10 LW version occasionally as well. I think a Magnacut Salt version would make an exceptionally well balanced full size lightweight EDC.

Yes, it is. Bought it from Ironstone as a CX02 Experimental, if memory serves me correctly. Still think it's one of Spyderco's best small knife designs (although I disliked the Almite version and gave that one away).

Sorry, I was referring to riveted knives when I used the term” pinned”. It is fairly common vernacular in a number of industries and has been used on this forum for close to two decades or more. Thinking about it I’m not sure that one could manufacture a“ pinned” knife.

Good point... I forgot that the linerless FRN models had those molded-in "spacers" instead of PB washers.
