If I had that many to choose from and had to winnow the list down, I'd split them into divisions (by usage/size) and just keep the top two or three in each group based on preference/ergos/uniqueness, like it was the playoffs. Or: sell if a) you don't like it b) it will make more money.

Personally (from your list):

Keep
Southfork
Techno
Slysz Bowie
Mantra
Para 2 custom scales Lynch
USN ladybug
GB 2
Caly 3.5
Chaparral
Positron
GB1


Sell
Hap 40 Endura
Hap 40 Delica
Forum native 5 green g10
Southard
Mantra 2
Manix 2 cruwear
Sage 1
Foundry
Pacific Salt SE
Custom scale Delica
Stainless Delica
CF s110v Native 5
Roadie
G10 DF2
Schempp BOwie
Domino
Manix 2 custom scales
SB Stretch
lil lion spy
Forum native lightweight
Manbug
Para 2 beater
Domino sprint
Military

The Chap is stealth TI. Glad you guys weighed in there. It was the one I'm most unsure about. That and the GB 1.

Are you not a fan of the Stretch?

If the Chap is Ti, then I'd leave it on the chopping block. Just my opinion.

And good call on the Millie, if you plan on going for a 204P or 52100 instead.


Hate to be the one to say it, but possibly move the Techno...? I do like mine, but I'd never sell a Stretch or Caly to keep the Techno.
Going back to Caly.

I agree. I've always wanted to like the Techno but it just doesnt work for me. If I remember correctly Swigert, you've already bought and sold that one once. I also remember you committed to carrying the second one every day for like a month straight trying to see if you could make yourself like it. How did that go?

Not a stretch fan, I've tried hard because it has great shape for being a hunting folder but its a no go.

You are spot on. If i remember correctly I actually kept up and updated the thread with my thoughts.

Its a keeper for me now. the first time I returned it the day after I bought it. Second time around I force carried it and really really like it. I still need some standoffs or a new backspacer and then it will really be a winner.

The thread that got posted a while ago about MArcin's new blade shape for his mouse folder looks amazing. I hope the new blade shape makes it into an updated techno at some point.
