Techno, Yo2, Military 52100. That can change any day. The manbug is really close, too.

I'm known here at Spyderville for my "Old School Spyders" being at the top of my love list. Like BFK my top 3 tend to change frequently. Currently my top 3 user models are my M390 Military, my C-60 G-10 Ayoob Sprint, and my beloved, old school C-44 Dyad. These are the three I've been EDCing the most here lately.

In the Spyderco fixed blade category they are the TEMPERANCE 1, STREETBEAT, and K-05 models>>> those the 6 Spyders I've used the most in the past month therefore I'll give them the nod :cool:

Those are definitely 3 winners in my book! I have the GB1 & Chap and I'll be adding a Mantra 1 soon. I've been looking for a Mantra on the secondary market but they're tough to find at the moment. It looks like I may just have to suck it up and order a new one from a dealer.

1) Delica
2) Caly 3
3) Remote Release

Delica - because it feels great in-hand and handles almost all my daily knife needs. My serrated ZDP-189 Delica rides in the car console, retired from medical tasks (for the moment). My Brown flat ground Delica is my current khaki camo at work.

Caly 3 - Father's Day gift from my wife & 2 boys several years back. Great knife & good memories.

Remote Release - carried during my time in the Army on the right strap of my LBV. Lots of memories attached to this one.

Sure I have some others that are fancier, rare or just cooler, but these are my favorites.

Man that's a tough one. I think I'd have to say:

1. 52100 Military
2. S90V Yojimbo 2
3. S110V Manix 2 custom

A very close runner up would be the Southard.
