This is one of those questions that nobody can argue about because its all about opinions, so save the conflict.

My Fav is the Delica, from start to finish ive carried one. to me there isnt another better knife.

I have to agree with the Delica. I love this knife. It was my trusty EDC for a few good years and it met (and exceeded) all my expectations.
However, I must confess I became pretty fond of the Adventura too... :o

As I keep aquiring new knives, different folders and styles fall in and out of favor. A year ago, I was all about the 3" folders (BM 530s). A few months ago, I was all about the 4" folders(D2 Millie). Now, a few weeks later, I'm back into 3" folders (CF Caly 3)

The one knife in my collection that has stayed at the top of my list, and consistently in my pocket, is the FRN cricket SE. It's simply unbeatable for what it does.

Stretch 2, or BG42 millie. Both are in the all time top 5 knives I've ever used or owned of any brand. I could live with either as a one knife only for the rest of my life scenario. Slight edge to the Stretch 2 due to back lock. Joe

That's a tough one. I'm really caught between the paramilitary and the dodo (black version). Some sheeple have given me "that look" (you know the one) when I've pulled out the para, but the dodo tends to get them curious, and it feels like it was made for my hands. If I really had to choose though, it would be the para, I snapped the tip off a black bladed one last year and was in a grump the whole weekend :mad: . was really happy when I got a d2 version so I could weekend carry one again. :D

I'm going to cheat a bit here. My three favorite Spyderco designs are the Schempp Persian, the Stretch, and the Kiwi, and I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite among them. However, of those three my favorite implementation of its design is the Jigged Bone version of the Kiwi.

I would have to say that my all time favorite is the BG-42 Military, followed closely by the Para-Military and the Police.

Military, without a doubt...The Delica runs a close second to that, however.

It's too hard for me to pick just one, so I'll categorize them;

Favorite LBK;
Cricket and Dodo

Favorite small folder;
Delica 4 series, specifically, the D4 Wave
(Most of my folders are in this category, so it was a tough choice, as I like them all, but the D4W never leaves my side, is worked hard, and has remained rock solid, as far as *looks* go, my fave is the Mini-Persian, but the D4W sees the most use, so it wins)

Favorite large folder;
Currently the Military SE, but I have a feeling the Sprint-Run Manix FG I ordered will be giving it a serious run for it's money
Save the Dodo (Collect the whole set!)
