best knife in your opinion

[diver15]

hi, i am new to the forum and the spyderco world and i was just wondering what evreyone thinks the best spyderco folding knife is, pictures would be great. thank you. :spyder:

Best Knife? Best for what? Depends on the task at hand. I'm sort of glad there is no such thing as "best". If there was a best knife I would only have one, and what fun would that be :D :D

:spyder: The smurf killer Yojimbo my wife gave me as an aniversary present is the one I love the best. My street beat is best for quartering chickens. My P'kal is best for edge in tactics. My civilian is best for scaring NKPs. :spyder:

[mikebandw186]

BG-42 mili. or police. or Caly 3. or dodo. or tasman salt. or persian. or yojimbo. or about 50 others i can think of.

today, my best knife is the Volpe

[spyderdog]

Today, the best is the lava........because that's the one in my pocket :)

[telemeister]

My best today (and particularly yesterday) is my Meerkat, I was doing a fair amount of serious cutting yesterday, and it didn't even flinch!!

When I (finally) get them, I think my best might change to the Caly 3, or Tasman SE!

[catamount]

If you want a classy, light/medium duty knife for Every Day Carry, then the Caly 3 is probably "best".



If you want something bigger, I vote for the Stretch 2.

[Jeff Tanner]

I'm sure getting a lot of good lovin from the D'Allara Drop Point...sharpest edge I have ever been able to get on a production knife. Wow, does the thing cut.

[cobrajoe]

Best? I don't know. I haven't tried them all yet :D

But high on my lists are the kiwi, dodo, stretch, salsa, navigator, cricket...

Heck, all the ones I have are high on my list :D

Enjoy your stay, have fan.

Brian,
I love your style. :)
My best Persians C83 & C105, Caly3, and Kopa (OK they are my favorites as well)

[rocketbomb]

The one in my pocket at any given time is the best knife I have :rolleyes:

[jaislandboy]

Roman, thanks but it seems that once a knife is discontinued, i suddenly become very interested in it hey I think the Persian(s) are very stylish and easily 2 of the best :spyder: 's in my collection imho :cool:

[tonydahose]

welcome to the boards and if you planning on using that perfect knife while diving i would suggest something in H1 steel.

[Fred Sanford]

For me the Paramilitary is the best knife. I love it more than any other knife that Spyderco makes. I always come back to it.

See my pics of mine here: http://spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28352

[igrowbamboo]

I must agree with David, the paramilitary is as close to "best"
as you can get. just don't tell my dodo. It thinks it's the best

[MANIXWORLD]

Aestetics,practicality,functionality,sheer beauty,style=any of the Caly3's for me.no other design on other knifebrands ,quite like this gem.

[JohnyKwst]

Best bang for the buck is definitely the Tenacious. I received mine today and already had high expectations from all the positive reviews but, MAN AM I BLOWN AWAY by this thing!!! :eek: :D

For an "out of the box" knife, my vote would go to the new CF Stretch, the middle knife in the photo below. Top shelf materials, excellent fit and finish, decent (3.5") size blade, fully ambidextrous lock, 5 way clip, and the best blade to handle ratio of any knife I've used. Plus, a full flat ground blade that's thin enough to take full advantage of that grind.

Of my personal knives, I'd have to choose the top one in the photo. Original Stretch, customized for me by Steve Rice (STR). Lignum Vitae scales over titanium liners.

Tough call, but I think the "best" overall Spyderco folder would be one of the E4 flavors. I base this on price, availability, blade steel, carry options, overall size, blade shape and social acceptability. I think the E4's can handle anything from office chores to kitchen duty to wilderness survival to SD and perform admirably well in any of these functions as well as others. Not the best at any one task, but just a great knife platform overall. I find them visually appealing as well. I have a pink PE, waved and just got my G-10 in. :D :D

On the other hand, my favorite knife is probably a Military, either my D2 or my BG-42. :cool:

Welcome and have fun with your decision!
