What are your top 5 Spydercos?

[shane1]

I did a search and did not find a recent post. I am curious as to which five currently available (current production) Spyderco’s are your favorite? I’ll start:

1. Military 2 S30V PE
2. SpydieChef PE
3. Stretch 2 K390
4. Manix LW Rex45 Storm Trooper
5. Pacific Salt SE

Currently available ? Thats tough. Most of the knives in my signature (which are my favorites) are discontinued.
I’d probably go caly 3.5, chaparral, sage 5, lil temperance, enuff 2

This thread is still fairly new with a lot of replies. Same question, your top 5 Spyderco knives...

You are correct? I need to sharpen my search skills. “Top” failed me

I think your thread and the linked one really have rather different focuses:

- I figure you are asking for a list of ones top five Spydercos, regardless of the context

- The other thread basically asks "If you could only OWN five Spydercos, which ones would that be".
So it is more about a "system" and how one would cover all niches with "just" five Spydies.

Different lists, at least for me.

He also specified in current production. The thread I started allows you to pick any model that’s been created

[shane1]

I am still curious.

I don't participate in lists like these because for me it depends on the day. Too many good knives to choose from

You just participated. Agreed, a lot to choose from.

Stretch 2 XL (any of the PE versions)
Pacific Salt (specifically H1/H2, PE)
Chaparral
C36 Military Model
Manix 2

I took your question to mean "currently in production," so I ignored exclusives, sprints and discontinued models that are still in stock or readily available on the secondary market, etc. Otherwise the P.I.T.S. folder would be in there somewhere.

[kobold]

From the standard catalog I presume. No sprints, no exclusives.
Sorted by size:

OG Millie S110V.

Stretch 2 XL G10 Cruwear or the Native Chief in S30V? Hmm, I think I will go with the Stretch for now.

GB2. The poor man's Sebenza.

S90V Fluted CF Native. Just did a Magnacut blade swap. But the Maxamet Sage is close second in this size.

The Raffir or the Maple Chap. Both clipless. Perfection.




I wish I can squeeze the SpydieChef in there. Not having a Ti framelock is disturbing. :-)

You know what I saw the other day?

A green, white and gold crow.

Any thoughts or arguments?
