When deciding a Knife of the Year I think we should exclude sprint runs and different color/coating options, and focus on new models and new improved versions of regular production runs that were introduced in 2010.

There have been several great knives, some very nice high end models (Ti-Millie, Sage2(?), GB, Bushcraft), but my vote goes to a knife that's affordable, shines in the EDC and looks plain fabulous:

Full-Flat Ground Delica4/Endura4 in vibrant colors

I mean, who didn't get one? :D

In spite of my disappointment with 2010 catalog, 2010 was a good Spyderco year. I was able to add to my knives several very good pieces: Bob T slipit, Caly 3.5, CF UKPK, Para2, Stag Arms Manix2, sprints of Persian, Shabaria and few oldies. But for me the biggest highlight of the year became Caly3.5. .

My top choices Natives5, Calys, C83 Persian

Those are certainly strong contenders. If we exclude sprints, I'd be tempted to nominate the Gayle Bradley.

The 2010 catalog or introduced in the year 2010, I think the G-10 Bushcraft and the Para 2 CF/S90V are only in the 2011 catalog? :confused:

My pick for 2010 would be the Carbon Fiber Shabaria followed by the Balance and the red G-10 Persian . :spyder:

I have to say the Paramilitary 2. It has made the perfect EDC and surpassed my expectations.

My equally worthy top three runners up...
