I'd say go for the Dragonfly. The Delica is just slightly smaller than the tenacious, although it may be slimmer (I haven't actually gotten to handle the Tenacious line yet). The Dragonfly is a considerable step down in terms of size, yet quite a capable cutter from what I hear. The ZDP Dragonfly wi...

I've paid over $1,200 in speeding tickets this month. Diesel prices are above 4.50/gal here in California. About to order a ZDP Dragonfly, a delica ffg for my friend's birthday, and likely Matriarch fo the girlfriend. Plus the list of things I should maintain on my car. Oh, and I make minimum wage. ...

The Gayle Bradley is probably more unique, and comes in M-4. However, the PM-2 is currently available in a great range of steels. You can't go wrong with either, but I'd suggest you look at the range of steels available and pick one of those. If M-4 is what you like, get the GB. The other obvious di...

Knife Care & Maintenance, Blade centering
So, it's 3 months later and I'm very happy with my Stretch 2. It's getting close to sharpening time, and I began thinking about a couple other knife maintenance issues. For lubrication, I use a few drops of Benchmade's Blue Lube (ok, I usually flood it, work it in, then mop up the excess) about once...

Maintaining ZDP, SharpMaker, Lansky, Edge Pro?
Hi everyone, So it's been about a month or so since I got my Stretch, and I've started noticing the edge just not quite being what it was fresh from the factory. It'll still do post-its without tearing, and it'll shave, but it does tear the extra-thin paper we use in the shop for sharpening demonstr...

Thank God I'm Not on the Benchmade Forums
First off, let me say that I have some experience in retail cutlery. I've sold Benchmades, Spydercos, and quite a few other brands, and I've consistently been pleased with offerings from each. I particularly appreciate Bob Lum's designs for Benchmade, and that's what led me to investigate if there w...

I know it's outside your parameters, but how do you feel about the Caly 3 in Zdp? It has some carbon fiber instead of the BRG FRN. VERY good. We have one in the shop and it's gorgeous; super smooth. The wire clip works really well and the carbon fiber feels nice and smooth without being polished, o...

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldnt this limit you to: ZDP-189 FRN British Racing Green: -Ladybug -Dragonfly -Delica -Endura Precisely! But which first? Since you already own a decent sized ZDP-189 Spydie in the Stretch, why not get something smaller like a Dragonfly or Ladybug? Those two get my ...

ZDP-189 Collection: What next? Strong opinions Please.
Hi there, A couple weeks ago I picked up my first Spyderco, a C90GRE, the Stretch 2 w/ ZDP-189 in British Racing Green. I love the knife so far, and I'm looking around at others. I've handled the Endura & Delica sabre grinds in zdp, but not the flats. I've handled the Dragonfly and Ladybugs in V...

ZDP-189, Rockwell Scale, Edge Retention
Hi there, A couple weeks back, I got my first Spyderco, the C90GRE Stretch 2 in ZDP-189 w/ british racing green FRN scales. I've been carrying it every day and love it. I work in a small cutlery shop, and we sell lots of Spyderco, Benchmade, Kershaw, etc (among many other things), and I feel like I ...
