I've owned my fair share but now I'm down to three and one is always in my pocket.

Got a couple Endura4's and they've been the best knives I've owned for every day carry. Lightweight, stay sharp, and pretty bombproof for how light they are. (I've used them as screwdrivers on more than one occasion)

overall, Spyderco is a great knife maker.

their product line encompasses every budget which includes cheaper steels. pay attention to that.

they make a lot of models-hardest part is choosing.

Spyderco makes great knifes, i know a few guys that carry them daily. I am more partial to Benchmade as I like the axis lock over the back lock and liner lock spyderco uses.

Great knives. I got quite few other knives, but for EDC I always go back to my Spyderco. Just great quality knives.

Out of curiosity. Of the over 20 you own NorthAmericanHunter, which would you say is your 'go to' knife or the knife that stands out the most?

Is there a favorite (or 2) in that bunch?

Depends for the application, I only have 2 out of the 20
Manix 2 lw ctsxhp is great for everyday use.

Love my PM2. Bought a benchmade barrage and a PM2 at the same time and the spyderco ends up in my pocket everyday

My EDC is a Sage 2. The lock mechanism is fantastic as is the S30v steel. It's fairly expensive and I'm always worried about losing it, but if I did lose it I'd buy another one the next day.

X 2 ....choosing is the problem but pay attention to the steel quality. Spyderco now makes a M390 steel and as hard as the steel is, it is equally hard to sharpen.

IMO, stay with the S30V or the S35V and you will be happier.

I like the Spyderco because it allows me to open and close the blade with one hand. The liner lock allows for that.

Good luck
