What about the solid q?

[@awesomeexplosion3852]

Not the ball cage 😭😭😭

[@cjanquart]

My first (of several) Spydercos was the Manix 2 LW then a month later a Manix 2 which I replaced the stainless steel ball with a ceramic one, as well as a titanium cage and a lighter spring. Next was a set of carbon fiber scales. Spent way more that I expected but such a great project and a wonderful knife.

[@chrispollock8735]

Is your blade centered?

[@kylegrantham9990]

I can swear by the paramilitary 2. Friend gifted me one years ago and it's the only knife I've ever personally recommended to anyone.

[@MrCravin8388]

The PARA 3 Lightweight in s90v .....HELLO!

[@obnyalyourmamu]

the best for me is tenacious/resilience ltw with s35vn, not too pricy with my favourite steel

[@FPCasey]

Just got my first Spyderco at the factory in Golden Colorado when I was on vacation

[@M60gunner1971]

Any proof of this?

[@CalebJohnson-mk3rt]

All amazing knives with great steel!

[@Hajime87]

I have a Native 5 in REX45 steel!! Best knife I ever owned

[@DuhYaThink]

The price was so good on those. At the time I was on a buying spree🫣 I bought 6 Rex45 native’s. 3 dlc and 3 satin. Have one of the satin ones too my brother for Xmas. Have the m4 ones and many more. Great model for sure 👍🏻

[@Rafaelinis]

YUP! I have the PM2 S90V, Delica 4 K390, Manix 2 and Native 5 in Cruwear . Add a Stretch 2 K390, are all my daily keepers 🤙🏻

[@HamSandwich1122]

Love my Spy27 Manix. One of my favorites.

[@ActivitiesWithHunter]

Me too! I think that’s the best EDC. I don’t know why they love the Delica so much here. Any knife that you need 2 hands to close is not a good edc sorry

[@HamSandwich1122]

@@ActivitiesWithHunter definitely. Both the Manix & PM2 make the best EDC blades IMO. Delicas are good knives, but I’ll take anything with a ball lock or compression lock any day. 🍻

[@DuhYaThink]

@@ActivitiesWithHunter You can push the backlock down and shake it down enough to close one handed 👍🏻

[@trax4318]

Y'all sleeping on that Para 3. I really love it because it feels like an EDC friendlier version of the PM2. But Spyderco sure does deliver on most of their models.

[@cvdubya5774]

I was honestly mad when I heard the Para 3 was going to be a smaller PM2 because for years I wanted a larger PM2 (and now it's out with the Military 2) but once I tried a Para 3 Lightweight in M4 i think it's probably the best overall EDC knife I've used and I've tried most offerings from Spyderco, Benchmade and Chris Reeve.

[@orendz7740]

I love LOVE spydies. Great user knives that are highly functional. Only thing they can get a little vanilla, also they are like the Glock of the knife world, and I love Glock as well.

[@FishFPS]

The fact that you can make a "4 best Spyderco knives" list and not include the Smock, is mind blowing. No matter how many knives I buy, I always end up back at the Smock.

[@mattwalters6834]

I have 2 of the 4, excellent knives!!! I’m amazed the Endura 4 didn’t make the list.

[@JuanGarcia-bd1rm]

I recently cut into my first Tenacious knife. I cut a gap to the right of the spider that tapers into the circle and there’s a hook left that mimics the Matriarch 2 blade pick pocket feature, it works so perfectly 😂

[@peezyorpj]

The native 5 is one of the most underrated Spydercos in this short.

[@tuberocker69]

Not sure if I'll like any of these, but I did order a Delica 4, yesterday, to make that decision. Should be here tomorrow

[@larryharry7221]

I have 5 PM2's and just got my 2nd Manix 2.

[@emersonb5764]

Got my mint green delica. Love it. Now, let’s get a mint green chaparral and dragonfly going. with black coated blade. I’ll buy two of each.

[@SirJabsAlot]

Shaman and Para 3 make the cut

[@rhybb]

ngl my favorite spyderco is the techno 3, its the perfect size for edc and has a pretty good blade steel and scale material

[@johnryan1386]

Delica really needs an upgrade Backspacer in metal and wire clip

[@caseytyler8326]

Sage 5 should have taken one of these spots for sure 😂 compression lock beats back lock native every time

[@hunter1776]

100%

[@mattwalters6834]

From what I’ve seen, back lock isn’t that weak.

[@escapetherace1943]

@@mattwalters6834 ? it's actually stronger. The backlock is 2.5x stronger than the compression and the cold steel tri-ad (modified backlock) is almost 3x as strong as a regular backlock. Backlock outperforms almost every other lock type for strength on the market.

[@mattwalters6834]

@@escapetherace1943 interesting

[@Crusty_Otter]

Oddly enough, I have versions of each of those: PM2 OD green G-10 w/ K390 blade, Delica 4 Wharncliffe w/ K390 blade, Manix 2 blue G-10 w/ S110V blade, 2 × Native 5 (Rex45 and Magnacut blades). They're all well made knives. Surprisingly enough, my D4 gets the most pocket time due to the blade profile and outstanding steel. The Manix 2 is probably my least favorite: it's a pocket hog with steel that's prone to micro chipping.

[@longshanks5531]

S90v does everything better than s110v, except for corrosion resistance maybe, I have 2 exclusives, native 5 and a pm2 in s90v… it’s a dream to use.

[@y0h0p38]

I'm a huge simp for the C26 snapit. I've had mine forever and put it though the most unholy, pure stupid abuse, and its always worked for me. The blade might be a bit small, but I love having a finger grove on the blade on a folder, I can trust the lock no matter what, just because I can put most pressure on the blade with my pointer finger. Its so nice to hold too, you can keep your pointer finger on the blade grove, far higher than the rest of your fingers, and your thumb on the back of the blade. It might just be because I'm so attatched to it, but IMO its one of the best EDC spydercos out there

[@LtSaynt]

Spyderco Swick 5... look it up. Best EDC Personal defense knife out there.

[@nickmerk8330]

Phew.. I was nervous you'd name a knife I don't already own, and I'd have to go buy one. Good thing I got all 4

[@KRYPTIX181]

A manix 2 with a lynch clip and a titanium ball cage has been my daily for years

[@z.r0.m_0n]

Tenacious is a great edc. 8cr13mov, G10 scales, great price 🕷

[@user-od9fz2fd7l]

Would get tenacious, but it’s made in China. There’s other similar Spyderco options not made in China for a little more money

[@isaacmoore2792]

That’s the great thing about the tenacious though it’s so cheap for such a great knife I’ve had mine as an edc for nearly 4 years now and it’s holding up great

[@z.r0.m_0n]

@@user-od9fz2fd7l I read before that the chinese Spyderco factory is held to the same production standards as the domestic one. It's only outsourced to cut costs and make an affordable knife

The delica was the first nice knife I ever bought and was my favorite sadly lost it years ago but its fine cause I just bought the civilian 🤙

[@michaelsantoro170]

Hey yall, remember that these are the more premium (expensive) ones. The tenacious is a rediciulously good starter EDC blade at the entry level. My first spyderco was the resilience, then pm2 after. Now i have a small collection of them, great knives.

[@gabecontreras5107]

Coldsteel!

[@clavididk1236]

[@michaelhammer5976]

I got my first spyderco years ago, I rarely need to sharpen it and its been dropped so many times yet hasnt chipped or broke. I forget the name of it sadly but its reliable

[@thegovernment0usa]

I just learned Spyderco is from the same small town I spent most of my life in for two years. Wish I could have come across it when I was there.

[@scottcarse6844]

[@alejandromorales6662]

PM3, Smock, Shaman, Native 5 Salt 👍🏽

[@spacedorito9812]

I like the spyderco stretch 2 XL folding knife

[@RamZar50]

ManBug is the ultimate keychain folder.

[@TheZachatree]

My native 5 salt doesn’t flick. Even if I loosen the piss out of the screws. Slow roll only.

[@Crusty_Otter]

I took my Rex45 Native 5 apart, polished the washers and mating surface of the lock bar with Mother's Mag and Wheel Polish. It smoothed the action considerably. Both that and my Magnacut Native 5 Salt smoothed out with use and fidgeting over about two weeks. Both will thumb flick now but won't Spydie flick - good enough for me.

[@Rafaelinis]

I took the similar action as Crusty, Plus almost straighten the lock back spring bar using a vise. able to reverse flick my Native five with slight wrist action 😊

[@thaknobodi]

I own all of those but carry the new Polstar in BD1N the most. Its a mini Military, not like the PM2 which feels different due to the thickness and comp lock, the Polestar feels like a Military.

[@BK-tz4jn]

[@dennishein2812]

You need to do one on the ugliest knives. My vote goes to Spyderco folders. They came out with a couple nice fixed blades but I can’t afford them. Some of these newer knives from others are giving Spyderco a run for their money on ugly. These new cleaver type blades might work for a cook or a carpet layer or someone else making long cuts. For me they are useless. Course I’m an old fart. I grew up using a knife cutting bale twine, burs out of manes and tails, cleaning stones out of hooves and cut rope. Sometimes my knife got used for castrating. It was usually the sharpest. As a diesel mechanic I used a knife to cut belts and scrape gaskets off.

[@Gio151]

Which knife would be your top pick

[@AffordableArmory]

Yes! They should definitely do an “ugliest knives” video. Spyderco would be at or near the top. As would that horrible mermaid knife they constantly promote.

[@z.r0.m_0n]

All those things you described would be great tasks for a cleaver folder. My grandad carried a Case slipjoint for longer than I was alive and did many of the things you mentioned. The thing is while he kept it sharp, he only ever used the spey blade and the point was duller than me. You don't need a pointy knife for farm tasks.

[@rommelthedesertfox3089]

I’d rather have my benchmade 940 it’s considered to be the best edc ever made also the axis lock is stronger than any of these locks

[@res1dentcyn1c]

Those Axis locks are tough for sure, but the springs on them are the weakest link for good reason, they're pretty flimsy. Unless it has a similar spring setup, I'd trust a sliding ball bearing in a blade detent to hold like with the Manix with more than I trust my Bugout, and I EDC the shit out of it.

[@Crusty_Otter]

​@@res1dentcyn1c I agree, the Omega springs are really delicate. I've owned several axis lock Benchmades, they were good, smooth knives. I ended up giving most of them away to friends and family but still have a few. The Manix 2 ball cage lock uses a coil spring riding on the shaft of the ball cage, similar to the recoil assembly of a semi auto pistol. It's more durable but a PITA to reassemble if you take it apart (I swapped my plastic OEM cage for a Flytanium one).
