What spyderco for outdoor/fishing?
I just got my all black manix 2 days ago and i found myself today ordering a translucent blue manix 2 and an orange delica 4. I don't know which steel would be best to have on my hip while out tearing up the trails on my fourwheeler and fishing. I really don't wanna hard use my all black manix because it was a give from my fiance so its between the other manix and delica. I should have never asked for the manix for valentines day because now i want to keep ordering. i got bit by the :spyder: i think
As you mention it, I think the catcherman will fit the billwaco kid wrote:I'm not a fisherman, but I've always liked my Endura for camping.

I agree with the Catcherman for fishing. For something all around outdoors, I like the Remote Release (discontinued), or a fixed blade.

The Catcherman is a good knife for cleaning fish, but I find the blade a little too long and flexible for general use. Personally, I carry my trusty Salt 1 as my main fishing knife. It is rustproof H1, it has a yellow handle so it is hard to lose, and I've replaced the clip with a shackle and gate clip (from West Marine). This way I can attach it to a lanyard around my neck or attached to a reel clipped to my belt. When on board a boat, I'll attach it to a float so that it won't sink if it accidentally goes overboard.
And BTW, the shackle and gateclip can be easily replaced with the normal Spydie clip once you are back on dry land. It takes 15 seconds.

Another vote for the Salt I for an EDC, or Pacific if you prefer a bit larger. If you don't mind the size of the Manix, then the Pacific may may work for you. I prefer the Salt though due to its Delica sizing. Good luck with the hunt!
