Nice Endela! Just got the same and really liking the size. What carry clip do you have on yours?

Thanks! The clip is a bronze MXG. I have a couple blue ones that I might like better on it but they're on my orange Endura and Delica.

My first Para 3.

PM2 today.

^ Love the blue scales on that PM2.

Thanks! Started off as s90v scales and decided to darken them just a bit. Had denim blue dye on hand. Pretty happy with it.

Refreshed the lineup recently, passed some on and brought some new ones in.

Just picked up a used mini grip and I'm liking it. I like the blade length for the size of the knife/close knife. I had a full size for awhile and just didn't warm up to it (balance, handle, slicing capability). Spydercos are my favorite blades and if I had to choose, I'd probably pick the Delica ...

Agree with an orange or brighter colored Delica or Endura if you want to go with a bit cheaper option that is still totally functional and stands out when in the woods. Ounces do count for sure but I usually carry an orange Mora (lightweight) in the side pocket of my pack if I do need a fixed blade ...

I usually prefer tip-up but another brand knife I got a few months ago carried much lower tip-down so I switched it. As I've gotten used to it, I've realized that for tip-down, you can pull it out and just let it 'pivot' and let it fall into your palm and be ready to go. Really smooth and easy. I'm ...

Had the Cara Cara 2 part right but missed the Ti! Love the orange Enduras and Delicas. I'm new here as well but welcome.

Thanks!

Here's a link to a thread I made on it. Page 3 has a tutorial...

Great, thank you.

Thinking the Byrd box is a Cara Cara 2.

Dang you! :) I have pretty large hands and have a Manix 2 LW that I like but find myself just not quite syncing up with the grip and choil. Pretty darn good but guess I'm finding personally I like grips that aren't quite as "fixed" if that makes sense. The Gayle Bradley handle looks interesting ...

The Gayle Bradley looks mighty tempting... I'd like to hold one in hand but live in a fairly small town without a Spyderco dealer that I'm aware of.

Doooo it. The handle is quite grip agnostic, with just enough guidelines to lock in hard for stronger cuts. The only uncomfortable way I've found ...

I need to respond to my own scenario:

Dragonfly 2 HAP40
Gayle Bradley 2
Stretch HAP40

If that would break the $300 limit, I'd go for the VG-10 Dragonfly 2

I will slightly cheat and include the Para 2 I'm getting tomorrow, assuming my knives would be gone overnight tomorrow and the shadowy figure would show up on Saturday morning. S30V Para 2, VG 10 Endura, VG 10 Delica.

Whoops, I forgot that I had $300 to spend on any knives. :) I responded ...

Welcome, and stick around and talk Spydies. Very cool story. I gave my granddaughter a purple Ladybug when she turned 9. We had lots of fun whittling. I showed her how to make a whistle. She cut herself, yet got a bandaid and wanted to get back to it. I hope she remembers our fun times when she ...

My first PM2, getting here Friday. Can't wait. Oh, and a black Delica. :) I have an orange one that I love but wanted something that doesn't stand out quite as much for EDC.

Made me tear up a little bit lol. Cool family! :)
Made me smile. :)

Welcome to the forums and thanks for sharing!
Thank you!

Welcome skers95! I started my son off with the plain ole Swiss Army Knife. Soon, he'll get his first Spyderco. Like you, I think the Delica will be a great starter ...
