Michael, you have a lot going on. Don't let silly things like some of the responses here get to you!MichaelScott wrote: ↑Mon Nov 12, 2018 11:24 amYou know, I thought this was a legitimate question but it’s turned into a silly joke-fest.
Done.
All except the Para 3 which consistently is considered by all experts as the world's only perfect knife. Well, except for that lanyard hole.SpyderEdgeForever wrote: ↑Mon Nov 12, 2018 12:27 pmMichael, I think you would agree with me on this: The Spyderco Delica and Endura are nearly perfect user knives and can outperform all others for most cutting tasks. True?

Thanks for your cogent reply. Yep, preferences are what bring joy and fun to being a knife afi. No doubt. And, that Kapara is certainly on my “need” list. It seems like an excellent all around knife regardless of size.wrdwrght wrote: ↑Mon Nov 12, 2018 8:53 pmHey, Michael. I took your question in the spirit you asked it, and got stumped. When Sal mentioned preference, I saw that, like him, I didn’t need a large knife, but I preferred one to smaller Spydies (of which I have a bunch).
All to say, with the arrival of my superb Kapara, I’ll declare we now have a big-little knife, indeed, something smaller (and lighter, I sense) than the PM2 you have.
Whether you can convince folks here that they can get by without larger knives, I’ll bet you can’t get by without the Kapara. What a sneaky design.
Lol. Thank you for this!

I own a 4" CS Recon 1 and gave a Voyager XL to my brother 2 years ago so I got to hold it. 5.5 inches is certainly overkill for me but I could make it work. But boy, those things will start some conversations! I feel like something in-between the 4" and 5.5" models would be right up my alley, but I hardly know of any folders that size that exist.
Yeah I would go on to say that myself. But truly and sincerely I found that I do indeed have a lot of real genuine NEED for a larger blade in many of my daily cutting chores.
4.5-5" is the sweet spot for me too. After trying these different cold steel models (Thanks brother!), I can confidently say I'd love a 5" blade Spyderco.ThePeacent wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 6:51 amPelagic wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 4:01 amI'm glad spyderco offers the Military, P4, Manix XL, etc. I wish more companies made at least ONE model in the 4.5 to 4.75 inch range.

my favorite folder blade size falls in the 4.75"-5,5" too, :o
that's why my most used Cold Steels are the Gunsite (5 inch blade), old Voyagers (5 inch) and for fixed blades too, the Desperado (5 inch blade), Peace Maker II (5.5 inches) :spyder:
the XL models (5.5-6 inches) are doable but a bit more awkward,
so I'd also love to see Spyderco upping the length to 4.5-5 inches in some models :cool:
Well, the word "need" just touches some sort of hot button in me, and maybe other people too. My brain runs off in several directions, none of which even remotely resemble giving serious consideration to the question.MichaelScott wrote: ↑Mon Nov 12, 2018 11:24 amYou know, I thought this was a legitimate question but it’s turned into a silly joke-fest.
And the man with 100 Spydercos doesn't. I carry a minimum of five knives and while I carry on in my day I have at least three out doing something with. It's such a habit that after 3 beers I have to wear cut proof gloves. Some are thrown, some are subjected to brutal torture and some are treated like newborn babies.
