PM2, Native 5 and Slysz Bowie. (*I reserve the right to have as many PM2 and N5 variants as necessary ;).) The stealth Ti Chaparral and CF/Ti Millie are also right there nipping at the heels of these three.

This topic seems to pop up quite frequently, I guess today I'd go for

1. PM2
2. Military
3. Urban lw k390

Now if the question was changed to which knife I would choose if I was forced to listen to Ed Sheeran all day then the answer would be a lot simpler - The sharpest one :D

I'm 44 years old and I find that if I need larger than any of these knives I go to a fixed blade.
I agree, if I want bigger I go to a fixed blade.

Aside from a Chapparal.....the only spydercos i own are para 3’s, Native 5 LW’s, and Delica 4’s. I do, however, have every blade steel of each ever made and will continue that path.

I'm going with:

1) Police 4 K390
2) Endura HAP 40
4) Cruwear Millie ( because there is no Endura or Stretch in Cruwear)

The 3 knives I‘m fumbling the most these days, thus consider wanting to keep the most, are the K2, the Southard, and the Slysz bowie. Oddly enough, all three are liners, while I used to think that I‘d never love liner lock models. Still I consider many other lock types to be superior. Nontheless, these 3 knives are what they are. Outstanding.

I love the haptics, the action, the looks, the materials. I do appreciate Golden made classic models, too. But the Taichung collaboration models seem more attractive to me. The one I‘d love to add to them is the Tighe stick, though it looks very much like I‘m gonna have to pass that one. Together with the three above, and my Szabo folder, those would be my magic Taichung Five...
