What's the one you've been using above all others?

We seen a lot of these type of questions but I'm curious as to what Spyderco you find yourself using for actual work. Not the prettiest, not your latest lust, not the most rare or the grail but honest to goodness working Spydie.

I have some really nice knives but day in day out for the last month I have cut everything under the sun with the little 'Ol G10 Dragonfly. Small, grippy, dual choils and sharp!

My Sage II is my go to knife. My most frequently carried knife and when I'm not carrying it it's the one I grab off of my desk to cut whatever needs cutting.

Mine would be the VG-10 "first generation" Stretch that STR customized for me with Lignum Vitae scales over titanium liners.

I reach for the UKPK FRN at the moment for every day tasks and it lives in my back pocket ... (pats back pocket to check ... yup) ... :)

For 'special occasions' I'd get out the UKPK CF or G10 orange ... or with a suit I'd have the Terzuola :D
My spydies: Squeak, Tenacious, Terzuola, D'Allara, UKPK CF peel-ply pre-production, UKPK CF smooth pre-production, UKPK G10 orange leaf-blade, UKPK FRN grey drop-point, UKPK FRN maroon leaf-blade, Bug ... all PE blades :)

Lately for me it's been the Urban Leaf. Always have a bigger one, but the Urban does most of the chores. :)

I'd also like to say that I just cannot find a fault with VG10.

Usually my sabre grind D4, but lately the G10 Caly 3 has been living in my pocket.

Wharnied 93mm Rescue.(blue) Its been my go to work knife for the last few months. Since I have been working 50+hrs/wk for the last few months its done most of my cutting. While I am out not working its been my Caly jr. Been trying out ZDP.

I usually care a couple of knives, but muscle memory is so ingrained that what ever is clipped to my RFP is the knife getting used.

That's easy. The Paramilitary 2. It's easily my favorite EDC knife of all time, and is an absolute pleasure to use.

The knife that I have been giving the most action to is my Sage 1. A close second is my CF Balance

probably my polished CF stretch. very thin blade, edge thinned to 10°/side with a microbevel at 15°, slices forever because of ZDP. the CF pattern is plain awesome when polished an slightly rounded. feels smooth but the ergos makes the lack of grip a non issue for my uses.

For last four and half years it is C83 Persian, it is also prettiest and grail.
Fits my hand like a glove and slices like laser.

It's a tossup between the black millie and the ZDP endura.

First of all, that is very funny :D

At work I use a Salt 1 SE so much, it's a part of me - great knife. At home, etc., it's mostly Salt 1's PE or Delicas... or the Sage 2 my wife bought me.

- best wishes, Jazz.

I'm back to my BG-42 Military. It seems I always return to it after a few weeks with a different EDC. The extra length comes in handy, especially with all the apple varieties on sale lately - think I'll go down and polish off my last Honey Crisp.
