Oh. Kick myself for not getting a Caly 3 in 08 then! I remember too when a black bladed Para was $112. :rolleyes: Sign of the times I suppose

I have had my Para for a few years now. It has not ever let me down. It does very well for work with gloves as Spyderco intended. Light, strong, and capable are the words I would use to describe it. So far I have not found a use for more knife than the Para.

My thought on this is that I would carry anything I owned. Life is too short to just stare at these treasures and not use them. Besides, I do not have the luxury of buying something to not use it. If that is the case I should not have bought it at all. Any time I feel something should not be used, I ...

My first spyderco was this same native I PE, one year ago. Let me say that mine also had the oil in the pivot. I think this has a benefit however. A new spyderco needs to wear in a little bit at the pivot and the oil can help with friction. Over time the oil will go away too and wear in the pivot ...

I agree it can be hard to sharpen at times, but there is just something so unique about the blue g10. One of my most treasured spydercos ever!

I love the short blades spyderco makes. I EDC only short blades under 3 1/2". They draw less attention and are pretty light. I just saw that new navigator 2, another great example of a great small blade.

It is funny you post this about the SE delica as I was thinking the same thing. It is just so light and cuts things so well I love it for its cost effectiveness and ulitity.

Quite simply because I have come to feel unprepared without one on me. And they are like an acessory as well. It can be a good stress ball too, who doesnt like reassuring g10 scales and s30v in their pocket?

Well as much as I LOVE buying spydercos, I have challenged myself to not buy another one for a year. I just got my Para and plan on EDCing it as much as possible. I think I will be happy with it for a very long time. Need to devote money to other things right now.

Yes, I just use the corners on the sharpmaker rods for the dodo. What I did to restore the pointy tip was use the flat part of the rods and run the spine of the blade along it, with the tip trailing. I take my time so I keep the blade perpendicular to the rod. This does not remove too much metal and ...
