Native 5 gets my vote for best Spyderco. The slicy geometry, choil and ergos, flat ramp for your thumb. Manix 2 is also really good, perfect cutting lines and I like how the blade is angled slightly downwards for that. The only real issue I had is the lock is awkward. Then I quit carrying both because I got a Demko AD20 and it's like an apocalyptic Manix 2 with a much better lock. Nowhere near as slicy as Spyderco but so much stronger, it's a tank. I have a decent collection (Protech Mordax, Benchmade Mini Adamas, Hogue Ritter, Dead Reckon Wharncleaver and more) but I don't have a rotation anymore.
I agree with you on the Manix 2, I love the one I have but that lock, not so much. I also agree with you on the Demko, I really like the lock on that knife but for me, I really wish mine had a hole in the blade instead of the thumb stud. Sounds like you have a pretty impressive collection my friend. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Para 3 is an amazing knife, it is small in the pocket but when you get it in hand it just feels like so much larger of a knife. It took me a while to get one but I'm so glad I did!
I bought the Tenacious Lightweight in OD green to add to my collection. It was approximately my tenth Spyderco knife. My first was a PM2 in black G10, then a PM2 in Camo G10. Spyderco knives are great.
The Tenacious and Resilience are so nice models. Lots of potential if they upgraded some materials. But a nice model for sure. There's an CPM M4 version as well. (tenacious)
I agree, those are both great. I have the persistence and ambitious as well. I love those models also. I think it would be nice to have an option for better blade steel, but either way I still think they're rad. Thanks for watching and the comment!
I bought without looking a spyderco efficient! I don’t love it even though I love spyderco knives it also has 8 cr mov 13 steel so it requires a lot of maintenance.
Can't beat a good Spyderco. I lost my first knife (Black plain jain Tenacious) in a motorcycle accident a while back. Didn't realize it was gone until I got home from the wreck. I went back and looked for it but never found it. Hopefully it made someone else as happy as it made me back when I first bought it at around 10 years old. Cool video, thanks for the share 👊
I have had many as well but always seem to sell them. They're such great knives for the money. The one I always keep in my collection is the all black light weight fully serrrated blade, and now this new one.
It's a nice knife! I'm sure you have already seen it, but just in case you haven't you can get the Spyderco Dragonfly 2 in Zome green. It looks kind of like camo to me, but not the digi camo.
@@DiomedeKnifeCompanyDKC one of my fav carries is a PM2 in M4, the BladeHQ exclusive with dlc and jade G10. I put a convex edge on it that stays sharp FOREVER. If I lose it I'm hooped because Spyderco won't make those in that configuration anymore.
I can appreciate your opinion. It's not for everyone, I have both American and Chinese made Spyderco knives in my collection. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Thank you - helpful comment - spyderco sucks - gas station plastic crap. If you are going to bother to collect, at least collect something worthy lolololol - hey look at my plastic Spyderco collection - it’s like a watch collector that has a case full of Casio’s - you made my evening, I needed a laugh.
I mean if you are referring to the lightweight knives and don’t like frn that’s fine but the pm2 and the manix2 are incredible knives I have a pm2 in magnacut and the manix2 in rex45… hardly gas station knives lol especially considering spyderco has consistently the best heat treat in the market but yeah I guess that’s gas station shit lol

I won’t buy Spyderco because everyone wants a Slysz Bowie and Spyderco won’t make it in regular production. That’s a company being stupid and annoying at the same time and I don’t support that. Great knives, great steels but the sprints and the non production of knives like the Slysz make Spyderco ridiculous IMO.
I can see your point, for example, just take this knife I made a video on. Makes no sense to not offer it again or at least offer the scales for purchase. I do love a lot of their knives and have plenty in my collection so I personally don't want to miss out on the stuff I do like because I don't see eye to eye with them on everything they do. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Thats the dumbest reason to not support spyderco. Slyz bowie is a collab and not a part of spydercos catalog. I been collecting spyderco for years and still don't own any slyz + spyderco. Exclusives are part of the fun and part of the hobby.
