It is perfect (for my preferences). Congrats! :)
The Bradley 2 is a knife I really want to try eventually. So much to like here. And I love Micarta.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Man, this tiny thing is growing on me
If this, by some weird coincident, had been my first folder, my dive into the folder rabbit hole could have ended right there.
It does my everyday office type cutting so amazingly well, while still being unnoticeable in the pocket.
Took me far too long to notice this gem sitting right in front of me all this time, and same goes for the Spyder-edge. The way those serrations bite into the material makes opening boxes ridiculously easy and even way safer than most PE knives.
It's here to stay.

I hear you, huge fan of the smaller Salt SE knives, all of them actually but the smaller ones just constantly surprise me.aicolainen wrote: ↑Tue Sep 29, 2020 3:32 amMan, this tiny thing is growing on me

It’s been 2 and a half days and so far I’m liking the chaparral, clipless, dropped in the pocket.

Your picture makes that Native look tolerable. It's always difficult to gauge how certain colors will look, because stock photos can be misleading sometimes.
Is this your first S90V knife?

That picture broke me and I ordered the S90V Native...
Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
It's really more like a light blue color. And easily dyed darker.
I also have the s90v Manix lw that Cutlery Shoppe did, which I carried quite a bit this summer. So far I'm pleasantly surprised...it stays sharp forever, and I was worried it'd be chippy but I haven't had any problems. I've only done a very quick touch up on that one, though. My feelings could change!
Edit to clarify: So I've got a RIT dye color called aquamarine. This is somewhere btw a light aquamarine and a light turquoise.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
I suggest a full sharpening/initial reprofile. S90v is nowhere near as chippy as some would think. I’ve used it extensively and believe that was all internet rumors. Get rid of the burnt factory edge and it’s great stuff.JuPaul wrote: ↑Tue Sep 29, 2020 9:06 am

Thanks for the info on the shade of blue, it definitely helps to have something to compare to.JuPaul wrote: ↑Tue Sep 29, 2020 9:06 amIt's really more like a light blue color. And easily dyed darker.

S90V is great, it's my favorite stainless steel, by far. As prndltech suggested, you might want to sharpen/reprofile before use. I’ve refrained from sharpening new knives lately (against the cries of my ocd), and one of the things I've discovered, is that S90V will chip quite easily on the factory edge. I sharpened my S90V Manix yesterday, and had to remove 3 small chips.
