The Bradley folder, the Native Chief and the S110V Military would be my picks, and would get a maple Chaparral too for a small EDC.
And then the Stretch 2 XL Cru-Wear, if any money left.
Thanks, maple Chaparral just sold out again.

Worth waiting if you particularily want the maple one, otherwise just go with the FRN LW!

For me the Chap really is the one small knife one wants in the quiver, even if large folders are generally preferred (like it is with myself too).

Both a "gents knife" and - to me even more so - a real work horse. Extremely sturdy built, very slicey, but still strong blade, super thin carry but for that good and especially very "stable in hand" ergos, enough grip area for even larger hands (of course by utilitzing the choil - a feature that in a knife that small really makes sense, while in a size bigger (Native, Para 3...) not necessarily anymore imo).
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

....
I want to get 2-3 more through the OpFocus program before the end of the year. Looking at these:

Spyderco Military Midnight Blue PM S110V - PlainEdge (C36GPDBL)
Para Military 2 PM CRU-WEAR Micarta - PlainEdge (C81 MPCW2)
Shaman Black G-10 - PlainEdge (C229GP)
Endela Lightweight Wharncliffe K390 - PlainEdge (C243FPWK390)
Bradley 2 Folder CF - PlainEdge (C134CFP2)
Kapara - PlainEdge (C241 CFP)
Manix 2 XL (C95GP2)
Native Chief Brown G-10 M390 Sprint Run - PlainEdge (C244GPDBN)
Yojimbo 2 G-10 Black - PlainEdge (C85GP2)
Stretch 2 XL Cru-Wear
Any suggestions? Have $900 to spend after discount.

For 900 bucks you could get more of these than "just" 2 or 3, right?!
I ended up with 6.
