What is your favorite Spydie?

[clipiteer]

Which one is your favorite?

[dePaul]

Easy, <b><i>MILITARY, plain edge, 440V </i> </b>

[Jeff/1911]

DePaul - I see. Hey, how do you get bold print like that? Jeff/1911.

[copilotboy]

my answer is equally easy. plainedge copilot.

y fav. knife of all time.

[vampyrewolf]

For use: Delica/Ladybug
For EDC: Cricket

Overall: Cricket: small/&quot;cute&quot;/tough little bugger...

[mrb]

Delica II Stainless - plain edge.

High clip mount means it sits very low for IWB carry.

Pratical size (for my needs), very easy to one handed open with a wrist flick.

Very slim proportions, smooth to draw from trousers.

[Michael G73]

My favorite- the smallish but dependable Dragonfly. I've carried one for over a year, and have never been in need. However, I have very light uses. I also have a Delica I tend to keep handy in a backpack or my car, but have never found need to go get it when my Dragonfly was handy.

FRN Calypso Jr. This is a great knife. Fits me like it was made for me. VG-10 is great steel also. I think I oughta buy a dozen extras just in case...

--Matt

[Zoro]

Mine is the calyso large it ia really nice and slim and it has that vg-10 steel what more can I say?

[The Stare]

Thus far -- own only 3 -- the Goddard Ltwt. I expect that may change soon, when I get my Wegner and Calypso Jr. Am prepared for either to become my favorite. Or not. The Goddard is lightweight, but goodsized -- I like 'em big usually -- sharp, easy to open. Do wish it was tip down, but the ambidexterity more than makes up for that.

I also like both my other Spydies, but that wasn't your question.

Jeff/1911, the easiest way to understand this to take a look at <b>my </b> post.

[Clay Kesting]

It's very hard to choose, but I think my favourite would be my plain edge <b>Chinese Folder </b> . I waited so long for it that I was prepared to be disappointed but I'm still knocked out by it's design and construction. Having a blade of VG10 doesn't hurt either <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. For second place I'd be hard pressed to choose between the Military and Calypso Jr.

Don't worry that the world might end tomorrow, in Australia it's tomorrow already.

[Jeff/1911]

So far, it's my large micarta Calypso in VG-10, plain edge. A work of art. Jeff/1911.

[Jazzman]

I would have to say that the Toad is my all around favorite. Although, I really like the Harpy, Endura, Gunting, Navigator, and Standard.
Matt

[Knife Dude]

Well, it's my opinion, but I am kinda partial to the Stainless Steel Native.

Ta Ta knife lovers!

[sam the man..]

Endura - Its hardy, simple, unpretentious, solid, loveable, fits well in my large hands and affordable! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Sam

have spydies will travel

[Jeff/1911]

I may just have to update my favorite to my new plain edged Military. Unbelievable. It's no nonsense, classy attitude are hard to resist. I am amazed at how easily it lurks in my waistband nestled just behind the right hipbone, and is forgotten about until I find a need for it. The only other knife which &quot;lurks&quot; better is my large Micarta Calypso; as it sits lower and feels slightly thinner. The Military though, just exudes confidence.

I'm sure leaning towards it. It's like trying to choose amongst beloved children...not a fair question at all.

Jeff/1911.

[SharpeML]

Got to be the Aluminum Cricket. I've got both plain and serrated edge. Even though I have several other great Spydercos of various sizes and styles; the Cricket is the one I can't put down.

[ftkinney]

Tim Wegner. love the feel and size of the handle, sturdy and well made. or it could be my Bob Lum Chinese folder the design is amazing one of the most beutifull objects that i know of .

[Sean Richings]

For Everyday Carry: Goddard Lightweight Serrated.
For General Utility: Dragonfly Serrated


-Dragondude

[ramlanrafie]

Military plain edge. overall - excellent piece.

[vampyrewolf]

My favorite spydie has now changed after handling the Chinook more...
I love this guy...

It fits my hand perfectly, and has my ideal length of blade... 3.5-4&quot;, it's 3.75...

As soon as I have $250 sitting around, by about fall, I'm getting myself one. This is to be my next spydie...

We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...

[shootist16]

Right now it is the Wegner. If they keep the G-10 and BG-42 it will probably be the Lynx.

[lsstaipei]

Wayne Goddard Lwt. for everday carry.Wegner for heavier duty.

[Mancer]

Well Im split between 3 Spyderco's, they are the Chinook, the chinook and the chinook <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Hehehehehe, yeah I love my Chin

[ronin203]

the chinook is by far my favorite of all my spydies. i think my next one will be the ayoob. does anyone know were i can get a blue native?

[Allen E. Treat]

For me, it has to be my Cricket ;
lightweight, compact, and nasty with the
serrations. Plus, a VERY good tool for
opening cardboard boxes, cord ( plastic,
rope ) twine, or even thread. In a self
defense situation, I wouldn't want to
be the receipiant of it's nasty little
bite ! ( thank God ) it hasn't come down
to that ! I own three other Spydies thus far ( the collecting continues ) but
the Cricket is my ALL TIME favorite.
I said as much in &quot;The knife I carry&quot;
section of BLADE magazine.

A.E.T.

[Michael G73]

Earlier in this thread, I said that the Dragonfly was my favorite- and it still is. But, I'm going to have to announce a tie here. I just got a Cricket a few weeks ago, and have been carrying it since to get used to it and give it a test run. I have to say, I like them equally. Both small, compact, unobtrusive and all around workhorses. I agree with Allen's comments above- a great little knife indeed. Definitely the most unique I've come across- and I can't for the life of me figure out why I evaded it so long... <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

PS: But, I DO still like the grip on the Dragonfly better- it just fits so well in the hand!

[The Stare]

This is bizarre. I posted once. Saw that it was repeated on the next page, edited the post on the second page only, just now discovered that the edit hit this one as well. Very frustrating.

If I can remember correctly, said something to the effect that this thread has hung around long enough for me to now find it a struggle to name my favorite. I still like the Goddard, but truthfully, my used Native replaced the Goddard immediately in my pocket. Just now got the Wegner loosened up to the point I feel I could comfortably carry it -- lots of TufGlide and many, many cycles.

I guess right now, would have to say the Native, for it's versatility. Course, haven't carried my Calypsyo Jr yet either?? I can't beleive how good so many of the Spydercos are!

Just remember, NO WOBBLE!

[seaman]

my favorite would be the one thats always with me, the endura.

[bansidthe]

Without a doubt, another vote for the Chinook (plain edge, of course)

[Walt2]

I would have to say the new version of the Viele. Smoooth operating and holds an edge great.

[Alan2112]

Our macarta Calypso Jr., it is so pretty, and does everything I could ask of it. RKBA!

[CraigC]

My favorite is also my first and only, a plain-edge FRN Dragonfly.

That's also the knife my wife wants when she asks to borrow one of mine. That's high praise, indeed.

I ordered a plain-edge FRN Cricket today, so there may be some friendly competition shortly. I gotta face facts, however; I'll probably wind up carrying both!

[Sword and Shield]

Easy, no contest. Endura, 50-50, in ATS-55. Strong as a steel cable, tough as an ex-Marine, darn near unbeatable.

Of all the Spydies, not just what I own, I would have to say the Chinook. Nice and strong, big, with great steel.

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

[Mancer]

Definately the Jak Chinook, beeeuuuutiiifullllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I may switch to the Mil once Ive got my hands on one, but for now the crown sits firmly with my Chinook.

I like your proverb!!
do you know the black titanium coating increase hardness and edge retention?

[Aries59]

The Endura has to be my all time favorite, but lately I have been buying Natives, three in the last couple of months.
