Mine is the delica 4!

Military is probably most carried, definately a favorite, ethnics are among my top picks also, especially the Nilakka, Euro Edge and Schempp Bowie.

I decided that I needed to give FFG SE a real college try, so I picked up an SE Tenacious. It's been in my pockets all week.

I wish I had something a little more pocket friendly like an FFG SE Delica, but as I passed over the Tenacious the first time around it's been eye-opening to try it now.

Military. And after that, Military.

That is a really tough question but I gotta say my Cruwear Military. It has been my favorite for quite a while now.

Hawkbill Dragonfly.

Delica 4

(Pac Salt SE and Mule team are my close seconds)

This is kind of like asking which one of your children is your favorite....

GB1. My favorite long term run is by far the Military.

Oh that’s easy. It’s the Bento Box Shop blue M390 Paramilitary 2. I waited years for them to get them back in stock and when they did I bought two. One of them is still my daily user while the other is resting safety in my closet awaiting its turn at bat hopefully years down the road.

Paramilitary 2. From day one, nothing has dethroned this one from my all time favorite.

It has been around for a while. And although 'if it ain't broke, why fix it', I can't wait to see if/when some kind of redesign happens... as long as we keep the general shape (blade and handle) and lock.

The 52100 has been dominating my pocket lately, but the M390 is one I don't want to be without.

It's not one of my most carried knives bit my 204P millie is probably my favorite

Toss-up between the Pacific Salt, Military and Police.

If I had to pick one for the rest of my life, Pacific Salt for its rust proof construction and light weight.

Military or Police is my favorite overall, if favorite isn't constrained by pure practicality. Asking me to choose a favorite between the two is like asking me to pick a favorite kid. If you held a gun to my head I'd give the nod to the Military for the weight to blade ratio and steel options.

I'd be content carrying either of these knives for the rest of my days.

S110V Militery is my favorite, unfortunately I need something a little more discreet for EDC. S110V PM2 is my favorite EDC.

That's a really, really tough question TBH.
Sentimentally, it's my Delica. My wife bought it for me for Xmas '15, and it was a total surprise gift. It wasn't even at the top of my "want" list, so I didn't expect it even if I'd expected to get a knife in general.
Functionally, I would probably have to go with my Para Military 2 Cru-wear. It's a bit tricky on that, though, because the Caly 3 and Sliverax are more recent acquisitions, and they're both very, very good in that sense and could give the PM2 a run for its money. The Chaparral and Dragonfly2 are probably the next tier down for me, and only by a very small margin.
Aesthetically, the Caly3 is probably right up there for "prettiest Spyderco". Others that really impress me aesthetically are the Sages, esp. the Sage 2 (and the Chaparral, since it's just a shrunken version of the same design). I also like several collaboration designs: Techno/Slysz Bowie, Nirvana, and now the Sliverax. I gotta say, the Sliverax is really, really good-looking in-person.

I would echo Patrick in that it's a very hard thing to decide on a favorite...

It's between my orange HAP40 Endura (gift from wife) and the recently-dyed deep red Cruwear Para 3. If I had to choose only one, I'd have a very hard time.

Very, very close behind are an S110V Manix LW and the Pakkawood Delica. One is very versatile and durable, and the other is really good looking, smooth, and solid.

don't have a favorite...digging my zome df2 lately but have a brand new caly 3 hap40 in my pocket right now

Fixed blade ... Sprig! :cool:

Folder ... Military! :)

Gonna be an oddball and say Caly 3.5 CF ZDP. Then gonna step out on a limb and say it "will be" the yet to be released "redesigned...all new" (paraphrasing Sal) Advocate.
