Your favorite exclusives

[Optimus Cultro]

What is your favorite dealer exclusive combo? For my it’s the St Knicks red and coated 4v. I have them all save the Delica. As much as I like to think that I’m all about function, I’m into the color scheme and like that they have offered some more off the beaten path models like the jester and the Goddard. Is there an exclusive you just find yourself draw to and why?

[Wartstein]

Well, I think I actually only had (and have) one single exclusive (but several sprints) :
One you also have, the St. Nicks 4 V Goddard.

And it happens to have become one of my most favorite folder ever.
Perfec regular size, great steel, slicey blade with not too fragile tip, superthin carry, still great ergos (especially choking up on that area before the guard, better than any choil I know), and backlock.

A real win. Still can´t quite beat my Enduras though, this platform remains my number 1.

Hi Gernot, yeah the St. Nicks is a great combo my personal favorite is the DLT OD Green/Black Cruwear exclusives…unfortunately all I have is the Endela and would love to get the Delica and Dfly but they are really hard to come by, still look all the time.

OP, you might enjoy this similar poll thread from a little while back - viewtopic.php?t=96059

For me, my answer remains BBS M390/Blue (as long as the regular production K390 and CruWear keep coming!). KJ 20CV/Blue and KW 204P/Green are also good

It’s the Knifeworks S90V Military for me. Nothing else is even close.

My favorite is my first one, the BBS-exclusive M4 Manix2, from when M4 was still uncommon.

DLT 20cv “ladybug-patterned” Zome, with the coated blade. I only have the Endela but it’s my favorite exclusive from an aesthetic standpoint.

Exclusives are rare this side of the pond, except the HH slipjoints. Other than those I only have a couple, also including the 4V Wayne Goddard.

However, the m4 Native 5 is my go-to work knife, so must be crowned favourite. It has been dyed from the original jade and featured in a supporting role in my photo of the Spy27 N5 LW that Spyderco featured on their Facebook feed recently.

KnifeCenter Cru-Wear & Smooth Black G10. I have the PM2, PARA3, Native 5, Lil 'Native, Manix 2 XL, and Yo 2. Most in both satin and DLC.

Cru-Wear is my fave steel, and the Smooth Black G10 is easy on the pockets and looks great. The ergos of all the models are sufficient such that a grippier scale texture isn't needed for my uses.

Knifecenter exclusive HAP40/ SUS410 laminate blade, pakkawood handle combination. I got the Delica and Endura.

[Urkilnmesmalls]

Mine is the DLT Kapara 20cv. I love it. Actual series it would be the TKJ forest green and cruwear.

Knifecenter smooth black G-10 satin Cruwear Native 5.

[ZrowsN1s]

Cruwear smooth G-10, Red and 4V, Green and FDE from Rivers edge. DLC S90V and Teal.

[Brock O Lee]

It’s the Knifeworks S90V Military for me. Nothing else is even close.

Agree.




The Knifeworks Military M4 Ti/G10 was also epic:

I guess by default it's my GPK Manix 2 LW in Rex45, as I don't have any other exclusive Spyderco knives. The Stormtrooper colorway is cute.
