I ordered a new Delica to replace my old one with a broken clip. as far as the Mouse or the Dragonfly as a PC city carry i will have to wait to try and hold both of them before I can make up my mind. The D'Fly needs to come out with a reversable clip and there would probably be no question. Anyone ...

I've read alot of posts from people worried about damaging the screw threads when changing clip positions. Here are some suggestions. First, using the driver (screw driver allen key etc.) place the screw in position straight in and back out the screw by turning counter clockwise. you will hear/ feel ...

So now I'm leaning to the dragonfly but since Im a lefty and the clip is stationary it needs to open fairly easily with a wrist flick to a reverse hold as mentioned ealier. Daywalker mentioned the need to really "emphasize the flick" Should I stick with a Delica and forget about what people think ...

The Calypso Jr. looks interesting but I have by doubts about the forward finger choil on it and the Native as being too close to the blade. Maybe I am paranoid without reason about my finger sllipping onto the blade.

Not sure about the Meerkat either. I wonder about a lock that was only used on one ...

Thought about the Cricket but im a lefty. I carried a righty Delica ( tip up) in my left pocket and opened it to a reverse grip with a wrist flick. I think the cricket is tip down which only works righty any way you want to open it.

Dragonfly vs. Mouse

I was considering getting a Mouse but am curious as to how it compares to the Dragonfly. I live in an urban environment (NYC) where metal detectors and searches have almost become a way of life. A Delica which is considered socially acceptable in most areas used to be what I carried but raises too ...

So 440C is still a quality steel? how is it in comparison to S30V? The mouse lite seems to be a good deal at $37.95

The one on Ebay is the one I was looking at. I guess the secret is out. I was going to stop bidding when it reached the price of the Blade Tech model which is probably soon if any one is interested. Otherwise I will probably get the Blade Tech since I will be using it (not for a collection) and the ...

I thought I read somwhere that the Blade tech mouse was made by Spyderco (could be bad info) and that the Blade Tech G-10 model and Carbon fiber model were made in the USA and the Mouse lite made with 440-c steel was made in Japan.

Spyderco Mouse vs Blade Tech Mouse

Is the VG-10 steel used in the Spyderco Mouse better than the SV30 steel used in the Blade tech version. The Spyderco seems to have a stronger wider clip mounted lower but those seem to be the only differences. I found a new Spyder Mouse but dont know which to get. Thanks
