Now that's a photo contest submission if I have ever seen one.

Military (CF versions are best). I really like lots of the others too, but the Millie is special.

Delica 4 for sure. The pakkawood version is probably my favorite D4

I really like my Blurple paramilitary 2. Oddly enough... Just as much I like my Pingo! I can't play with my Pingo as easily as my other Spydercos, but it really is a great blade! Its easy to maintain the edge, cuts amazingly well, and really fits your hand. Very very secure when in use. The designs is such that in spite of the fact that it doesn't lock, the edge of the blade won't contact your fingers if held properly. Also when you are out in town, it's pretty non-threatening. I've used it to cut my daughter's chicken tenders at the restaurant before. Not having a pointy tip makes it a little safer at a table full of kids too - even with common sense fully engaged.

I went camping one time and used my solo stove (twig burner). The only knife I brought was my Pingo. Believe it or not, my Pingo did everything I needed it to do. My Pingo never let me down. I shaved my fat wood with it, cut my food with it, cut line with it... It held up without a problem! Really very versatile. I seem to have run out of Pingo innuendos of very questionable taste; but in all seriousness - I originally bought one out of curiosity. I now own 3. I'm getting one for each of my kids for Christmas this year too!

I really couldn't say - or more accurately, over the course of a few weeks, each and every one of my Spydies would feel like the favoured one at one point or another.

Native 5.

Today, it's this one.

I'm jealous of folks that can use those comfortably. Looks like a fantastic EDC. Nice and thin wharncliffe with a good point from the factory, in a compact and lightweight package.

For now it is the Delica. Hope to get a Salt 2 and see if it can dethrone the Delica.

What is uncomfortable for you? If it's the first finger groove, the metal liner under it is straight, leaving room to remove it. It's very easy to do. The Delica wharnie is fantastic. It has now taken over as my favourite EDC, as well as work (of course). I know you're a modder.

My choice is the PM2. I think I have six and most recently added the red M390. There aren't enough adjectives to describe this work of art, well done Sal and Eric! :)

I'm on the Sliverax bandwagon. On day one of receiving it, wasn't to thrilled. It's now day three and has rarely been out of my hand. The bearings provide a unique feeling, very solid. Paul Alexander did a great job with this one.

A lot like Dan. (FarNorthDan)
My Millie is carried almost daily. I love the Ethnic series.
In particular, my Nilakka. It's the original zero grind model.
Very sharp and super duper pointy tip :)
My very first Spyderco mat still be my favorite however.
That would be the Spyderco Vallotton. 4MM thick blade stock, one of the meanest knife tips I've ever seen ( go thru a car door easily) and polished g10....she's a real beauty.
