Spyderco Forums

Of all my Spydercos I carry Mantra 1 flipper the most. Size, weight, material, blade design are all top knotch. It would be the Military if the Military had a compression lock and tip-up carry.

Today, 4/27/18, we have had sixty responses. I will stop collating the responses Monday, 4/30/18 and post a final result.

Thanks to all who replied. This is of course not an actual rigorous poll but I hope it gives us a look into what many of us think about and do with our Spydercos.

I would say probably my S110v PM2 is my most used although my Military is working its way into my pocket more and more, but I haven't had it long enough to become "more used" than my PM2

My most carried is my Roadie, its with me 100% of the time, where as my PM2, Military, Sage 5, Tasman Salt and such all rotate more frequently.

I know the whole idea of the Military is to make it strong and bullet-proof, but I'd like my Militaries more for EDC, if they had the compression lock that my PM2s have. There are trade-offs, certainly, but man, I would love a compression-lock Military.

I think my Native 5 in s90v and green G10 is quickly becoming my most-grabbed knife to carry. On any given day it's just the right combination of pocket-friendly and cutting ability to find it's way into my pockets.

Ladyhawk gets carried a lot as a companion blade. Caly if I am out. GB1 at home.

A Foliage green FRN Ladybug (VG-10) is my most used Spyderco.

Superblue Caly 3.5 or Urban LW N690. These are my go-to EDC choices 95% of the time.

The Urban by far, any steel; next would be any PM2.

Have any good pictures of that caly? I just got a mint caly 3.5 SB and am looking forward to seeing it develop some character.

Edit -

The pic above is an older one , the user/abuser indicator ( the painted clip ) currently shows the true mileage of this knife .
This is what it looks like today .



It makes me laugh when people post pics of their user knives that have no obvious signs of ever being outside . :)

Millie S110V.
Carry it for the last 12 months.

Mine is the Pacific Salt, covering 80% of my uses for a folding knife, every day of the week

The Tasman Salt is the second most carried, mostly used on weekends and in the garden (covering more or less the 20% of use left, and also carry time)

My SE ZDP-189 Delica - though my PE FG Delica is gaining ground.

In terms of total hours used, probably my ZDP189 Dragonfly.

Runners up would be either my S30V PM2 or VG10 Delica, probably in that order.

All three of them have been noticeably reduced in blade size from sharpening.

Manix & Stretch are tied!

I am forcing myself to rotate others into a weekly carry routine :spyder:

My VG-10 Endura has only really had one use, but it is my most used Spyderco knife. Not my longest carry, but for daily farm use it has seen more cutting action than other knives I carry, or have carried.
