Jeez, you don't want to make this easy for us do ya?
Well of all the ones that I've seen and held, it would have to be my Native Lightweight, cuz it just feels better in my hand than the others, not that there's anything wrong with the others...

Mouse!
I just thought of something....what if this thing can read minds? He's gonna be real mad when he gets to me.
When I think about it there are different catagories, best looking, the one that feals best in the hand, the best all rounder, the most used. In my case they are all different models. A couple of my more recient aquisitions are riding fairly high on the list, but it won't be until the novelty wears off that I will be able to place them in the list accuratly.
Being the sentimental sod I am, if you tied me down and beat me with a tinsel wrapped crockidile until I fessed up, I would have to go with the PE SS Delica, as this was the one that got the Spyderco ball rolling for me.
There are others that I favour for other reasons, but I still have a fondness for this little steel trooper.

Man, and I thought my 10 page assignment was hard.........
I think 'one' of my 'present' favorites would have to be the Spydercard.
This knife is always on me wherever I go. I just stick it in a slot in my wallet, and I forget its even there. Since I'm in college now, I havn't carried my EDC 'big' knives. This gem is a real peach, espcially with a half Spyderedged blade.
Next week, I might have another favorite....
there can never be just 'one'.

Rookie,
Tough question. Currently I'd have to say it's a Lum Chinese.
Merry Christmas

Hi BrianEberHart! Welcome to Spyderland! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
As for my favorite Spyder, Endura FRN. I buy knives based on what my hands say they like, and this one was an easy pick.
Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.
My favorite has to be my stainless, serrated Co-Pilot.This knife is perfect for me-- not big and scary, yet handles all jobs well.In fact I like it so much my other Spydies lie unused in my gun safe.
so many spydies, so little money !!
There is only one. The Calypso Jr. Micarta.
Blades

Yeah!! I can have 2.
Once again, my PE Pegasus, then my PE Chinese Folder. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Our Calypso Jr. macarta. It dosen't have the best steel in it, but it's the prettiest, and feels the best in my hand. RKBA!

damn you! i'll actually lose sleep over this now!! right well i'd hae to say my faithful ever-present harpy but recently its been the military. if there was a military sized hole on my CF civilian then that would be it but at the mo i think its too small for the blade.

I'd have to go with my 50/50 Endura FRN as like Yog, this is the knife that started the ADDICTION! I have bought 8 (that's 8) Spydies in the last month, you probably don't think that's an incredible amount. For someone without a job that probably is! Tell me I don't have my priorities screwed up!
BrianEbarHart,
Welcome to the Spyderco Forum!
BTW... is your Herbst P/E an early Ti model?
If so check out the thread "Question about Herbst Ti model" about a month ago, and go to Bladeforums reference from Philip357.
The 8 new Spydies I have are to new to form opinions on, I'll keep you guys updated if I change my mind!

My favorite rotates between my Endura, Military and Goddard.

Hoosierdaddy - Thanks for the welcome, I have been around for a while, I just usually don't post...don't know why...
Anyway, my Herbst is the newer Almite Coated Aluminum version. If anybody knows where I can get the Ti model, let me know - I would love to have one of those as well.

I'd have to say either my Blue G-10 BFC Native or my green/black G-10 proto Not-a-Lynx Ocelot. One or the other is almost always in my pocket.
