Over the past couple of years my collection has dwindled, don’t see this changing in 2025. Letting go of kitchen cutlery, fixed blades, and pocket knives.JayHenMac wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2025 8:22 amOver the last couple of years my collection has grown. Traditional folders, SAKs, modern folders, and fixed blades. I have some safe queens, but for the most part I'd like to think that I do a decent job of rotating them out. That is until my son was working on something and asked to borrow my pocket knife. I handed him the Sage 5 I was carrying that day and he said "No, not that one, the one you always carry." I thought about it and realized that I pretty much always go back to carrying my Endela. I used to think it was the Native that I reached for most often, but that's probably because it's the one I've had the longest, and it was the first Spydie I owned. But if I'm being honest with myself, my SE Endela is what I keep going back to.
What is it for you?
Have tried many pocket Spyderco, Benchmade, Buck, Boker, and Kershaw over time. Spyder hole won me over.
Delica 4 is my EDC going on 10+ years and believe I have recently reached the point where I’m not curious to try much else. For the D4, it doesn’t matter what color, or steel, or wharncliffe or plain edge.
Collect the Native Chief (wanting something Golden since it is a stone throw away and the favorite among Golden choices and find it a compliment to the Delica).
