Re: Name your fav allaround-do-it-all Spyderco folder in 2017
The one I've carried consistently since purchasing it is the S110V Manix LW. It has been a perfect companion throughout 2017 with the sole exception of its size. With the Cruwear Para 3 and the possibility of a Little Native this year, its place as my go to may become untenable. We shall see how the rest of 2017 progresses.
Have: old S30V Native, HAP40 Endura, ZDP DF2, S110V Manix LW, Cru-wear Para 3, SE H1 DF2, S90V Native 5, K390 Urban, SE Pac Salt, P.I.T.S., XHP Manix LW, SB Caly 3, B70P, PMA11, K03, Kapara, REX 45 Military, 154CM Manix LW, Swick, AEB-L Urban, KC Cruwear Manix, M390 PM2, Mantra 2, CruCarta Shaman, M390 Manix, K390 Police 4, S90V Manix LW, Rex 45 Manix LW, 20CV Manix, Rex 45 Lil’Native, Shaman, C208GP, Cruwear Manix, Cruwear Manix, M4 Chief, Z-max!!!
Want: SPY27, K490, Swick 5.

^ THIS is my all time favorite But in 2017 the wharnie Delica in spyderedge was my most carried and used...maybe because it has all the attributes I like in a smaller packageSurfingringo wrote:Cruwear millie. It wasn't made in 2017 but it has definitely been my most carried of 2017.

Re: Name your fav allaround-do-it-all Spyderco folder in 2017
I've bought a lot of Spyderco this year. My logical favorite is the Slysz Bowie that I recently bought, but it has only seen light duty use forcing my SAK into overtime when I carry it. The unexpected winner for me is the dark blue S110v Military. I really just bought it to complete the dark blue S110v collection; I had no expectations of actually like the knife-- I prefer smaller, usually 3" blades. But holy cannoli, this thing hasn't left my pocket. I'm in absolute love.

My Maxamet Native has been getting a lot of pocket time this month.

My favorite platform is the Endura. Favorite steel is Cruwear. Until I see a Cruwear Endura I have to compromise. That is tough considering how many knives I've seen released that checked enough boxes for me to warrant a sale. 52100 Millie, Cruwear PM 2 and 3. Hap 40/wood Endura. Definitely the Maxamet Native! How about the Hap 40 Caly? Seems like I'm missing some. Besides the Mules I mean.

Stretch 2 (in my case in VG10)
The FRN ZDP-189 version is still on my wishlist as well as a HAP40 Stretch 2 and a Sprint in Cruwear.. :D

Millie in S110v, 204P, or M390. While they don't get as much carry time as the Caly 3.5, any one of these is my fav all-around-do-it-all Spydie.

Long time since my last visit and post, but this one makes me scratch my head a bit. Its hard to deny the versatility of the Military pattern and it is certainly one of my all time favorites (2017 and way further back) most recently in Cruwear. The S110V Manix lightweight is a close second and the trusty Superblue Caly 3.5 will forever be a hall of fame knife and an available pocket in my daily rotation of blades. Hope you all are well. I will check in later today to catch up more.

I've completely become addicted to the Autonomy! It's almost kicked every other knife out of the pocket. Fires like a rocket and stays sharp forever!

I am going to be different. My choice is the Manix 2 Back Lock.

I think its kind of funny that their has been so much spyderedge talk and no one has mentioned the PM2 Full SE. I picked one up this year and it rides with me everyday perfectly complementing whichever PE blade I choose to carry with it. (today its the new para 3 cru wear). I used the PM2 SE for the harder chores around the shop and the Para 3 is used for mail, food prep, etc. so far, so good!

Re: Name your fav allaround-do-it-all Spyderco folder in 2017
Yeah I carried a combo edge Benchmade for a long time, a serrated edge is so useful for so many cutting chores. I do bring a Pacific Salt with me all the time but I only use it for food. I don't like a full SE and I wouldn't want it on a Millie but two knives can cover most of what needs cuttin'
