the caly 3 has gotten me thinking about the spydies i consider to be "perfect" EDC knives. it's too hard for me to pick one, so i went with a top five.

-- R2
-- military
-- caly 3
-- dragonfly
-- D4

what's your idea of a "perfect" EDC knife?

My choice:
C-83 Persian
Caly3
R2
Stretch.

CF BG-42 Military

I like your top 5 clovisc! I would just swap the military for the para. Course my fav changes way too often cause there are so many perfect Spydies for EDC.

Good choices so far guys :) However the best EDC Spyder barr none is the C-44 Big Dyad. With a set up of literally the best of both cutting worlds you have a full sized, sheepsfoot serrated blade along with a streamlined, flat grind, plain edged blade that is just so handy that there are few cutting jobs it can't do.

I have carried my Big Dyad for exactly 2 years this month. It has been a friend, a favorite tool and on several occasions a real life saver of a blade. Not to mention I can't hardly get through a workday without it. I think at this point I would fell more of a void being without my Big Dyad than with any other of my favorite Spyders.

Oh yes I have companion EDCs I carry with it. There is a rotation process I use. Right at this time I also carry my G-10 Harpy and ZDP-189 CAlypso JR.
What can I say??? LiFE IS GOOD here in Spyderville :cool:

For me it's the Para Military and the Caly 3, if I had a 75mm Persian, I'd probably consider it a "perfect" EDC for me, too.

I find myself grabbing this one more often than the others lately.

For the tasks I use a knife that size to perform, the Kiwi is perfect straight out of the box. In a larger blade, the Stretch and C83 Schempp Persian come closest. Have a Persian out to Tom Krein getting a full flat grind, if he can get rid of all the hollow it will make an excellent knife even better for me. Also decided to have STR re-do the Stretch he customized for me in lignum vitae. The canvas micarta worked well but looked too utilitarian for my tastes.

I have a feeling the T-Mag is going to make an excellent EDC for me! :D

I try to keep rotating to check them all out, but I keep coming back to the Jesse Horn ZDP. Perfect for an office setting and cuts whatever I ask it to.

Chris :) :) :)

Native part serrated, black....that´s my EDC ! :)
