I like my little SS SE Delica.

I've always preferred to carry my Endura as an EDC. I like the long blade, and the feel of the knife. But I have found myself carrying the Delica most of the time now. I like the solid feel of the SS handles (scales?). It would be nice if the SS was checkered in some way. I keep a native in my bag, ...

Do you love Daggers? EDC a Dagger?

They are so beautiful and elegant. It seems that lawmakers don't like them. But I really love double edged knives. Do any of you EDC one? I'd love to have a Spyderco made dagger. Wouldn't you? :spyder:

If the Native sells well at Walmart, will we see other knives there in the future? :)

That was a fun night when we had that thread. I had been sad earlier, and it cheered me up. :D I started that thread for Simona just to be silly, and when she finally said something the next day, Taz deleted everything.
