Just bought my first Spyderco this week and I'm so pleased with the quality of it, I might just buy another one in the near future ;)

Welcome to the forum JohnM,

Also welcome to the beginning of an addiction.

Pray tell what :spyder: did you get for your first?

Well, I wanted a small knife for everyday use, so after some research I bought this plain edge Delica.
I love it. It just feels 'right' in my hand, unlike the cheaper knives I had before.

Now I think I want something bigger :D

The delica is a great little knife, if you like frn models you could check out the Endura, but i would try it with serrated edge. If you go up the scale you will find the Manix as one of the best heavy duty folders out there. You should also look into the Military model, a great knife.

My Dear Friend,

You have come to the right place. Your fascination for Spyderco products will only increase with time, I am quite convinced.

I echo the sentiments of those around me in that an Endura would probably be a good bet for your next knife. One of the Salt series of corrosion-proof knives might also be a good choice, as I believe the Pacific Salt is a bit larger than the Delica and the H-1 steel is rustproof, making it very low maintenance.

Enjoy your time here, my friend.

I am considering the Endura, but I also like the Native and Harpy models a lot.
