Describe the upsides and downsides of your favorite knife in a single statement.
For example:
Manix 2: has great ergos, needs big pockets.

Pac Salt 1 SE: Is ideal in every scenario I’ve put it up against, lack of washers makes the action sluggish over time.

S90V Para 3 LW: practically perfect in every way except the many tiny ways it's not.
Re: Describe the upsides and downsides of your favorite knife in a single statement.
I have two:
The CBBL is the best lock, but is let down by the overall availability and edge-to-blade length ratio of the Manix.
The Shaman’s potential to be the best knife is ruined by its overly fat BTE thickness.

While the Para3 is not necessarily my favorite, it truly shines as a compact edc that can handle up to 99% of everyday tasks. Downside is the requirement of an aftermarket clip for concealment, and ergos not as good as bigger brother.

PPT Perrin: The best looking knife that Spyderco has ever made but it's discontinued.
PPT Perrin: Phenomenal design but it's heavy.

Urban - comfortable handle, small, thin grinds, classic Calypso blade shape - made in Italy with the Italian quirks, ugly frn pattern

I saw a picture of someone's Urbans the other day and they all had distinctly different blade grinds
Kinda how I assume Italian craftsmanship will usually turn out tbh.

My favorite Spyderco folder is the Native Chief, and I'd like it to open when I draw it from my pocket.
I contacted 5X5 Combat Solutions and they said that they would start working on an opening system for that knife next!!!
I'll buy at least 2 maybe 4 of those opening systems.

Native 5 : best ergos for my hand, continuous curve from bottom to tip. However, would like it to be a bit thinner BTE (so the stock too).
In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Mantra 2 is my favorite EDC as it carries so well and has an all around general purpose configuration. Downside is that I didn't pick up a spare when they were discontinued at $114.
