What is you "Go To" Spyderco.

Love my new Schempp Kris but I keep grabbing my Endura 4 lately.

Close 2nd to my Endura 4 is my Blue handled 93mm Rescue.

As much as I love my Dodo, if I had to depend on just one knife it would be the Para PE. A close second is the Delica 4 in PE.

Boy, I'm glad I don't have to depend on just one knife. :)

I have an expensive collection of BM's, early CS', and many others. But in my 'go to bags' there are Spyderco Civilians and Matriarchs, Merlins, and SpyderHawks.

Always the Dodo. It handles everything other blades can't.

if i was stranded on a desert island (speaking of which i believe Loch on Lost carried a Spyderco at least for awile) i would probally want my Harpy or even a Spyderhawk (which i don't own). now for EDC currently it's a PE Centofante 4 although i suspect that will change once i have the SE Dodo i ordered.

For me, it has to be my DragonflySS in plain edge. I just got a Delica4 and it is demanding more pocket time as well. IMO, the SS Delica4 is the best overall value in the entire Spyderco product line.

PE Delica 4 for me and I also have a BM Mini-Grip clipped (D4 is loose) on the same pocket. For some reason, it seems to get used more than my Mini-Grip. When the Delica 3 was there, they shared...... Recently, I've been rotating in an SE Delica 4, and I'm still reaching for it more than the Mini-Grip :)

To work, it is grey Caly Jr. (Until the ZDP D4) and week end, if not much heavy cutting involved, Persian. If woods or a walk in the forest is on the program, it will be the Military PE.

My blue delica SE gets all the carry time. For me pulling out a hawkbill is way to much like pulling gun as far as the reaction I would get.

A delica of some kind. Either the 3 in frn or ss or the 4 in frn, all plain edge. The 4 is the most used though.

No doubt here, it's the Paramilitary, with the D4 or UKPK as the "small" go to.

Only one Spyderco! Bite your tongue!

My “go-to” knife is my Crossbill CE. That’s my current utility knife. If I had to choose just one, I think it would probably be the Endura CE. However, I just may not be able to let go of my 3.5” CE hawkbill. It seems to handle just about everything. I can’t believe that there isn’t anything it can’t handle well enough (since it looks so specialized); it’s just that I don’t know what it would be.

For evening walks, it’s the Yojimbo.
First they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not stand up, because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Lately it's been my Adventura more & more. The way the knife just fits my hand is amazing. :cool:
Somehow tho.... :confused: my Gray Calypso Jr. STILL finds it's way into my pocket a few times a week.
I guess it always will :p :rolleyes:

I love the FRN grips! My EDC is the PE Salt 1, bar none. If I know I'm going to tear down alot of boxes, without question, Tazman Salt in SE is the ticket. Has even replaced my Caly ZDP. Great blade shape, light, holds an edge, (both yellow of course) easy to strop back to scary sharp on cardboard. Very sheeple friendly. My $.02 worth. :D

Hard to answer:

I carried my Harpy for years...without fail, only ever suplementing it with an Emerson.

Now It depends on my mood...Most often is the Pacific Salt 1 (PE), two is my Dodo or Manix 83mm, depending on what pants I'm wearing. :spyder:

Well, I have tried lots of different ones and always come back to the S30 Native. I like a slim knife, and the blade shape handles everything that I do. If the Dodo was a better slicer, I would probably stick with it, but it just doesn't stand up in the food prep dept.

Despite my best efforts to retire it for something fancier, my Stretch keeps winding up in my pocket on workdays and in my hand around the house.
