Gayle Badley 2 Sage-1 Maxamet Endela K390 Honorable mention, and because I really like camping, guiding, hunting and making fires / processing wood. The most under appreciated Spyderco, the Province, absolutely love 4V as a fixed blade steel. My next endeavor will be a spyderco in LC200N, I really like the Spydiechef and blades with a continuous sweep

Have a GB1 and a GB2 on my desk right now and can’t decide which one I like better. Just incredible knives. That SpyOpera keeps calling me. - looks like a perfect EDC for urban environment. I am also liking the style of the Shaman a lot, but would probably do some grind adjustments if I were to get one. And yes - please do that video on top 10 discontinued Spydercos. That would be awesome 👍

I have 2 Spydercos that are overlooked: 1) Spyderco UK penknife is basically a lightweight Delica Slipjoint with front finger choil to keep the blade from closing on your finger and weighs only 1.9 ounces. 67.20. 2) Spyderco Cat has the same dimensions and weigh as the Lil Native but is a liner lock. Both knives are in my favorite user steel CTS-BD1N. 61.00 Thanks for the video.

Great video! My top 5: - Para 3 in Cruwear or REX45 - Paramilitary 2 in S110V or S35VN - Dragonfly 2 in H1, VG10 Cruwear - Native 5 in Cruwear, S90V or S110V - Shaman in CruCarta Most used are the Ladybug, Dragonfly 2, Para 3, Mantra 2 and PM2. Most underrated Spyderco is the Brouwer in my opinion: good ergonomics, useful blade shape, slim carry profile, non-threatening more classic design and super smooth operation.
@MrDarrylR
Жыл бұрын
1) Sage 2. Spyderco's best ergonomics are in the Sage series, and this discontinued tribute to the Sebenza in slab titanium offers beautiful minimalism. Not one extraneous detail that doesn't serve function. I won't ever NEED another EDC. That said if Chris Reeve can embrace MagnaCut, there's a good case for a large sprint reissue, for which I'd double dip. 2) Kapara. Thin 3.6" blade, comfy contoured CF handles, compression lock, designed for cutting on surfaces (no front quillion/finger guard to interfere). 3) Native 5. Better than the Para 3 for everything but fidgeting, and the happy median of all the "evergreen" models, not too small/delicate, not too heavy/overbuilt. It's probably a sentimental favorite for Sal and Eric, which is why so many of their newer models are rescaled versions (Lil' Native, Native Chief, Shaman). Little wonder the Native 5 is their pick for introducing new steels into ongoing Golden CO production. Honorable mention: Stretch 2 in K390. If I had to have one knife for everything for the rest of my life, I think this would be the one. PM 2 sized knife, with a more comfortable handle, in the best balanced super tool steel.

I would put the GB2 at the top too. For the reasons mentioned AND because it IS a "slicer". Possibly with the thinnest behind the blade measured at 7.5/1000. It's also one of the better values out there if you're loooking for a knife with CF scales and a quality blade....M4...from the factory. If you're not going to mod your knife. Most other M4 (and Alu scales) knive cost $50-50 more...it's also the ony production knife with a M4 blade and CF....oddly companies are onky offering CF scaled knives with S90V. The "access to the lock bar"...I don't see it as an issue. It's the same on ZT's...except ZTs do include "jimping" on the bar. My only gripe is the lack of a "sharpending choil"...then again most Spyderco's don't include one...stubborn owners of Spyderco (for some odd reason refuse to budge and include a sharpening choil like Benchmade, ZT., Kizer, yet Spyderco has one on their Smock... I'm getting one. GB2 ...CF/M4.

In my opinion the Dragonfly II is one of Spyderco's most underrated knives for an EDC. It's a great knife for most people's day to day task, it's lightweight and it's inexpensive. My top 5 EDC's that I carry. 1. Protech Manual TR3 2. Brous Blades Mini Division 3. Brous Blades VR-71 4. Spyderco Dragonfly II 5. CJRB Feldspar small (for $32 you can't beat this knife)
@Stassa23

The Dragonfly is most certainly a great knife and it’s probably my most used Spyderco. The only reason the Lil Native beat it out in this list is that I prefer Rex 45 or S30v over my VG10 dragonfly and the Native was a gift so that’s another reason. I think when the k390 Dragonfly comes out I’ll definitely be picking one up. I use to have the ZDP one and I loved it. As far as a lightweight edc blade it’s hard to beat 👌🏻
