I am really enjoying pm2s with titanium scales. Makes an already solid feeling knife that much more solid. Plus there's some really eye catching scales out there.

McBee. Severely underrated model.

It's such a surprisingly capable tool despite it's small size. It makes a wonderful "coin pocket" knife or as a companion knife. It's also a great choice for situations where using a larger knife may not be appropriate such as a opening box in an office environment. I also love it for precision cutting due to it's size, ergonomics and blade shape.
Current Collection
Chaparral LW, Dragonfly 2 (VG-10), McBee, Stretch 2 (K390), UKPK Salt (LC200N)

Yojumbo is a pretty funky looking design too, but it works really well for EDC IMO.
Vivi - Yojumbo is the bottom knife. What's the name of the first knife? Looks like a Manix...
Straight Spine Manix XL mod with two tone dyed scales from an M4 sprint run and some acid etching on the blade. Carried it yesterday figuring it was about as close as I'm getting to the Stretch XL for now.

I'd say the Watu, Smock and Matriarch all fit the bill...at least around here!

Wow, I've been carrying this daily and became so used to seeing it, that I failed to recognize its uniqueness.

Wow! I thought I was pretty well informed on :bug-red-white knives but yall have shown me things I have never seen before. PPT has always been a favorite of mine. Also have liked the Schempp Bowie.

One I havent seen yet is the Navaja. I remember holding it in my hand and hearing that opening sound in person...won't forget that.

There are actually two Spyders in my user rotation that I consider "UNIQUE" but yet I do use them both rather frequently. One I actually use a lot and that is my Stainless Handled RESCUE model from the ATS-55 era. I use the Stainless RESCUE as a companion blade more than any other full Spyderedged model.

The other one I actually EDC on special occasions>> that is the C-46 LUM Tanto Folder which is also out of the ATS-55 era as well. My C-46 Lum tanto folder is a black-bladed, CE model with a G-10 handle. Of all the Lum Tanto folders I've owned it has been my favorite by far.

Spyderco sure has a wide selection of what a guy might call "UNIQUE".

Only the Watu meets the bill for what I own.

Really cool knife, but not sure I like it enough to keep longterm. We will see after ~6 months

Thanks very much. Is it the final version of the knife in viewtopic.php?t=88301?
