My first was the plain edge, saber grind, black FRN Delica 4. To be honest I wasn't really impressed... Sold it off and bought a Caly 3, Dragonfly, a few Enduras and a few ladybugs.

Now they are all gone except one. A brand new Delica plain edge. I guess you need to carry this knife for a while to ...

Interesting thread... Over the years I've never had any issues with either method of carry and I am very active.

These days I prefer tip down inside the waistband at 12:30. But you guys got me thinking... If that blade ever opened up and I was sitting the wrong way. :eek: Time to tighten up the ...

You CAN, but the (now blunt) edge is still thinner than a proper trainer. It'll work for deployment drills, but should not be used for any kind of hard contact. A much safer option is something like this:

Interesting... I will look into the Nok training program. However, I can probably make that Endura "trainer" out of the sole of an old slipper and some tape. Really anything soft the size of your carry knife would work for sparring. I would not use a steel trainer for hard contact. Just to practice ...

Sorry if I missed it while scanning this thread but... Is the black blade/ digicam handle discontinued? I spotted one the other day. Maybe I'll grab it just for the heck of it. :cool:

Greetings from Thailand,

Wow it's been about five years since I logged in here but I have been lurking... Lot's of exciting stuff in the Spyderco line up.

I've been living in Asia for about a year now and I don't have any knives... Well, there is a lady bug on my key chain. :D

I want to pick up ...

I haven't found "perfect" yet but the Spyderco Endura Wave is about as close as it gets. This is a defensive blade so I don't mind that it's ugly as sin...

It's super fast, slim, light weight, ergonomic, big and small at the same time? priced right and they make a trainer for it.

It's everything ...

Sooooo, anyone get their hands on one yet. I don't NEED one at all but man do I WANT! :D

Greetings gang. I finally got around to using my sharpmaker and watching the DVD that came with it. I believe I heard Sal say they ship their knives out with a "utility" edge. Does anyone sharpen their blades when they are brand new? Every knife I've ordered came very sharp out of the box but it ...

I love the Caly3. It's everything I could ask for in a EDC blade.

Take the Caly3 and shrink it to 3.25" closed.

Offer it in black or orange G-10.

That would be my dream EDC blade. :)

So you can't mix and match the handle colors and blade types? I thought I read in a previous thread that that was an option.

I was hoping to get an Orange leaf shaped blade. Oh well, I'll think about what version I want. Maybe I'll spring for both. :D

Another vote for the Delica 4. I would get a plain jane, black FRN, plain edge Delica. It's a must have for any knife lover. You can adjust the clip any way you want. It's a great EDC blade. :)

I agree that the D4 is a must have. It's the Spyderco that started my love for the brand. I would say get the plain edge FRN. Great bang for your buck.

D4 is a great knife. That said, Caly3 is better! It is the best EDC blade on the planet. :)

I thought "bite" meant you cut yourself with your new blade. :D But maybe that's just me... ;)

I have a Byrd Robin as well and it's a fine knife. I love that size blade for my EDC knife. I keep it loose in the pocket when I carry in a suit and forget I have it. I also have a Dragonfly and a very ...

I've been packing my new FRN D'fly loose in the suit pocket. It replaced a Byrd Robin. I'm waiting for the Urban to come out and I'll give it a try.

I've been drooling over a MOP Kiwi but I just can't justify the purchase. When I carry loose in the pocket the knife shares a pocket with my keys. I ...

I will...as soon as I get my Orange G10 Urban Wharneclife. :D

:D I hear you... More New Graham boxes please! :D

Any word on prices for the Urban? I'm hoping I can get 2 for $100. Is that reasonable?

Also, I think I read that you can get either G-10 color with any blade combo. Can someone please ...

In regards to what? The action of the Caly3 or the D'fly?

I also have a Ladybug, Delica 4 and Byrd Robin from the Spyderco line.

Thanks guys! :D

I've been packing the Caly3 for a few days and I'm in love! What a great knife. I wouldn't change a thing about this :spyder: perfection. I hope they keep this model just the way it is for many years to come. The gritty feel of the action is getting better. I thought it was good ...
