For its cuteness I love the Mouse
But staying in the small-knives league Navigator/Meerkat are the best designs for me. And for the coolness of its lock and the deep-carry clip, for the moment I would pick the PE 440C Meerkat
The Blue G-10 BladeForums Native is a great knife. The handle is blue G-10 and the blade steel is CPM 440V. It came with a Mike Sastre carbon fibre pattern concealex neck sheath. I've attached a couple of images so you can see what it looks like.
I've carried many brands of knives over the years, for various purposes under various circumstances, but the one knife I reach for more than any other is the PE Endura SS.
I intend on purchasing a PE Delica SS this month, which will probably become my primary knife at work, because it's less likely to spook the "sheeple" due to its smaller size.
But, when I go out at night to roam the darker regions of SoCal, I take a Chinook with me.
Yes the PE Delica II SS, Shang Chi you'll like it, mine waits in my pocket or on the dresser for most all general service jobs. Of all the others ???. New Kiwi coming soon.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> We'll see.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
For use around sheeple, try a Jester or Kiwi! Both are "big little" knives, meaning easy to grip and use in spite of the small size. The Jesters also come in colors that make the sheeple think Spydies are just wonderful, and "oh, so cute"....
Instead of purchasing a Delica SS PE, as I mentioned earlier, I've opted for the Navigator with the blade in GIN-1 steel, which will probably become my EDC knife of choice.
I'm kinda new around here, so I haven't seen anyone mention anything about GIN-1 steel. Any comments?
My favourite Spydies are my Bob Lum Chinese folder and Military, both PE, for 'cuddling' at home and special occassions. However, for EDC, you'll usually find a Delica PE, Endura PE or Goddard CE all with FRN usually coupled with my BM 942 with me.
My fave is the Mouse...sadly I traded mine a while ago. If you have one or a Kiwi for trade, let me know!!! I have a Lum Chinese PE For Trade.
