Spyderco Forums

First, I love all of my Spydercos with M4 but my favorite is my GB2. IMHO it is everything you want/need from an EDC knife. :)

Hmmm....hard to choose between the Advocate, GB, and Mantra.

Para 3

Toss up between the GB2 which is a functional but beautiful work of art and smooth as glass and the M4 Military which is a workhorse of a knife and maybe all the folder I would ever need.

Para 3

If I owned it, it would probably be the Para 3 :D Between the two I have, the natural G-10 PM 2 and Native 5, I think I lean towards the Native being my favorite.

Para 3

Agreed! Even though it bit me...

Love the GB1 as a workhorse, but prefer the Mantra's for edc.

Favorite,





Most used, just because I have too many PM2s,

GB2, Advocate, or PM2. Flip a coin. I like the M4 on the GB2 and Advocate a little better though, you can tell a slight difference when sharpening between the PM2, I must be some kind of knife nut..

The two that are in my pockets. GB2 on the right, and the Air in the left.

The DLC M4 Jade G10 Manix from BHQ is easily my favorite M4 model. The black liners and hardware in addition to the DLC blade just look killer against the Jade scales. It held the title of "best looking" in my collection until today when my Red G10 Delica arrived and dethroned it! It is still a great lookong knife though!

The DLC PM2 and Para 3 from BHQ I didnt care for as much in the looks department because the liners were stainless and not black. It looked weird. I guess maybe they couldnt coat the liners on a comp lock for some reason?

I don't own a lot of M4 Spydies (GB, Air, Para3, Manix2, but not PM2, Mili, Native, etc).

Of the ones I do own, I think the Mantra 2 is my favorite, because of it's super slim EDC package, paired with the M4. I suspect that if it was a different steel, I'd like it just as much, though.

Ditto.

Military or Mantra.



At least until someone makes me a Sliverax in M4.

I wish they made a UKPK with M4, that would be my favorite.

I wish I had the Air, that would be my favorite :rolleyes:

My new Para 3,,, no, maybe the PM2,,, O'K final decision = the Military.

My favorite knife on the forum. Checks all the boxes for me. Love when you post pics of it, and love it even more that you actually use it as well!
