DLT CruWear/purple g10 pm2 with MXG clip.
Though the k390 pm2 in the mail may dethrone it, we’ll see.

I am surprised that no one has said anything about the Meerkat. I can’t pick only one so I will be heading out the back now.

Re: Pick One Favorite.
I'm also putting a vote in for the shaman zwear. Such a gorgeous knife. Once that micarta comes to life its a work of art. I get so many comments about it, even from non knife people. I also like that it's blade is zwear instead of cruwear. I realize it's essentially the same steel but since only a mule and the shaman (unless im mistaken) has used Zapp steels equivalent, it makes it a bit more unique. Cheers

Hah! Hoisted with my own petard.
The K390 Stretch was in my pocket as I wrote that, must’ve been a Freudian slip.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Re: Pick One Favorite.
Shoot…
First it was the Cruwear Delica.
Then the Crucarta PM2.
Then it was the K390 Stretch.
Now it’s the DLT Cruwear Endela.

Re: Pick One Favorite.
Can´t
If my VG10 ffg Micarta-scale Endura had teeth: Most likely it would be "the one"
Since it does not have teeth: At this very moment the Stretch XL SE comes closest to be "the one favorite".
Could be my HAP40 Endura or the H1 Pac Salt SE or.... though if you ask me tomorrow...

Re: Pick One Favorite.
I used to think it was the Manix, but now I would say the Sage 5. Of all my Spydies, it's the most "transparent," by which I mean the way it carries, deploys, and closes. It's my "don't have to think about it, just use it" knife. Runners-up are the Watu and Kapara.

Re: Pick One Favorite.
I like big, USA made knives with exceptionally pointy tips. This makes the Military, Chief, and Siren the top contenders. The Military edges the other two out because how natural and fluid the action is and I find it more comfortable in use.
That is precisely why I’m hesitant on the Military 2; I’m concerned my perfect knife no longer will be. I’ll try it out of course and hope to be proven wrong. If I don’t like it, there’s a chance the Chief or Siren could claim the throne.
