Fixed blades are outlawed by the BSA. My suggestion would be a Delica 4 or Salt 1. If you're camping near water often, I'd definitely get a Salt 1 SE.

As a former scout leader and Eagle Scout, I used to tell parents to buy an inexpensive knife for a boys first knife. Inexpensive being less than $20. You can find a decent Victorinox at Walmart for that price. Anyway the reason for an inexpensive knife is because it's going to get lost. I've seen it ...

I sharpened up my Centofante 4. Man what a sweet knife.

I searched and searched last year and finally found a FFG Delica ZDP. I'm glad I did. ZDP-189 is Amazing.

Ok, I'm ready to take the Sage plunge. I've narrowed it down to the 1 or 2 and wondered what everyone prefers and or recommends.

You can pick up a sage 1 these days for around 85-90. You can pick up the satin blade para 2 for anywhere from 95-110. Almost equal in value, though the para 2 is a but more sought after. If you really want the sage 1, go for it, but if you tried to execute that same trade yourself, you may find it ...

What are your thoughts on trading my digi-cam Para 2 for a Sage 1?

Looks nice.

I was searching ebay and came across this fake UKPK. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Folding-Pocket- ... 466wt_1270

Wow, I feel exactly the opposite of you. The mini grip was my first over $50 knife. I bought it because of the positive internet chatter on BF. Well, I couldn't have been more disappointed. I'm not trying to discount your opinion; it just didn't do it for me. Since then I've discovered my all time ...

Thanks for the report and great pictures. I can't wait for mine to arrive.

I too got shipping confirmation this afternoon. :D

That was the tell. He's helped me too. He's very knowledgeable and not the least bit pushy.

+1 Jeff and Cutlery Shoppe are my go to Spyderco dealer.

Sounds like you went to Plaza Cutlery?

Circa 1993 Delica G-2 Spydie edge.

I started the day with my Centofante 4. When I got home from work I switched to my original Delica SE in G-2.

In 1995 I bought a Delica with a full spydie-edge in G2. I still have and use that knife.

I thought S35 was going to replace S30 as the standard steel on the Para 2. If that's the case, no need to get stressed out about getting one as wont be a spirit run.

I received my Para 2 today. I haven't had time to spend with it yet, but it sure looks sweet!
