Hmmm...dpends on what size.

Small: Stainless Steel dragonfly
Medium: Calypso Jr. or Delica
Large: Tough choice...either the SS police, Civilian, or Military <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

This week the most bang for your buck is the C39 DYAD JR.Lightweight with FRN handle in color choices for 49.95. See Spyderco Products Online Catalog: Discontinued.
Also would make nice Gifts for Christmas at this price.

I agree with Paul. The Calypso Jr will do everything that most people need a knife for and is a very sophisticated design as well.

Don't worry that the world might end tomorrow, in Australia it's tomorrow already.

I would like to say the SS Delica, still my faverite, but in truth I think the Calypso Jnr just nudges it out on price.

As always, such things are dependent upon one's use and expectations for a knife. While I am very pleased with the Calypso Jr Ltwt I bought, and even more the Native, I can't see that one can get any more knife for the money than the Endura for $45. I'm not sure one has to stay in the Spyderco fold to say that.

When the VG-10 is used for the Endura/Delica, and the price changes made, I can't help but hope that it will be even more true then than now.

The Calypso JR lightweight was a favorite on an EDC thread. I also think it's the definite "most bang for the buck". I've been trying to dull mine (within reason)but it's still scary sharp, and I like the way it looks and handles.

I guess you are right. I think in my terms of what I use the knife for daily, which is light office/home stuff. To someone who needs a knife for heavier, maybe outdoor chores the Endura might seem a better deal.
I'm going to the Lake of the Ozarks this weekend and I will certainly be busting out my Endura. (and some other toys)

The FRN Native...the best in the line, so far.
