Keep 3 Spydies only! Which do you keep?

#1

Post by HotSoup »

So you have to get rid of ALL your Spyderco knives, except THREE (folders).

Which 3 folders do you keep?

(Yeah, another one of these :cool: Good excuse for you all to show off your knife porn as well :D )

My choices;

Military
Image

Chinook III
Image

Civilian
Image

Despite how much I'm digging using all my Spydies, and the fact that I've discovered the greatness of USING safe-queens (kuhkri, mini persian, C83 Persian!!!) and the fact that almost EVERY single spyderco knife I own can stand on its own, If I ever had to keep but one, these three are the chosen ones.

Hands down, in my opinion, the Military and Chinook III are THE BEST currently available models offered by Sal and Co. (Chinook III, sadly disco'd).
Civilian is just a knife I cannot live without, so it had to tag along too!

For me it would be:

-One of either Dfly or Kopa (probably Kopa)
-Para 2 (S90V preferred)
-STRETCH 2, ZDP-189/CF or FRN.

If Doc were to carry only three, he'd be three times faster.

Probably any versions of
-Stretch 2
-Caly 3
-Military

Although you could probably sub a flat ground Manix 2 for the Stretch. I wanted to get all the sizes I need. Only thing missing is a Dragonfly size one, I'd go with a Dragonfly G-10

I haven't gotten the first two yet but I would want a para 2, a yojimbo and a salt 1 (which I have).

Urban/UKPK
Manix2 SE
Civilian

Kinda based on my current setup (Manix2 PE, Delica3 SE, CS Recon1 Tanto), one watchpocket knife, one hard-use utility, and one tactical. Handles every task I can throw at them.

Ok, if I absolutely had to pick 3...

S90V Paramilitary 2
M4 Military
S90V Manix 2

I would've liked to have kept a LBK too, but I can't do without the above.
