Spyderco Forums

It has to be smooth g10 cruwear native from blade hq (?). I prefer other spyders in my pocket (chap or k390 delica) but I do recognize it is basically a perfect configuration in terms of functionality and aesthetics. I have to second this. I use my Endura more but the smooth G10 and the Native hand...

Like most here, I have to many to choose. Endura ZDP-189 gets the lion share of the work. Something about ZDP-189!

Just received a Stretch 2 in BRG, ZDP-189. Its getting put to work within the hour.

52100 should live on. The Native series. Native 5 and Native Chief.

ZDP-189 is still a favorite. Glad you are keeping it in your testing.

I struggle with Endura and PM2 size knives. I try til up but always go back to tip down. Especially for back pocket carry.

Working on keeping my Endura tip up for a while to see if I can adapt. Anything smaller and tip up is fine.

My go to place for HAP40. I recently bought a second Endura at the lower price. Given inflation from when they were produced (2016?) it’s one **** of a good deal in my book.

I would have to say the Military.

Pacific salt goes way back and is unique with H1 SE.

Still looking for YXR7. Guessing it might be a more difficult heat treat. Default to HAP40.

Maybe the future 15V Native 5 and Native Chief can be regular production since they have not been announced as sprint runs. Hint hint.

It would be nice if the bodacious gets S110v.

The S110v Military is still in production. I would not let it pass if you like the Military 1.

The St. Nicks 4V Military was a nice way to go out. I still think the Cruwear is my favorite. All great examples of a well designed tool.

HAP40 would be awesome!

Manbug Salt. Everyday office carry.

Military on weekends.

Everyone lay off the bento box shop HAP40’s. This is my secret place. They don’t accept returns so I know I am getting an item straight from the factory.

I know this is a ladybug thread but if you have not seen Jazz’s Manbug Salt video it is very good review and shows the capabilities of this little big knife. He even goes through his sharpening.

Big fan of the Manbug. Just a bit beefier than the ladybug. My main edc is a manbug salt. It’s a machine.

I do have a ladybug in superblue and it’s what people call sharp, very sharp.

From my service experience, a pacific salt se is about perfect. I carried a Mariner se and it took a beating and could always cut

DLC 4V would get some takers. I wonder if St. Nicks would consider it. They have been willing to go for big knives in the past. Millie 4V is on my top 5.
