Looking for a PE EDC
Like the title says, I am looking for a PE EDC. I currently have a Dragonfly, Tenacious, and a Pacific Salt. I like all these but they are all SE and so I would like to get a PE spydie that I can carry. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :D
Try the Caly III PE :)
Cheers

Caly Jr PE in ZDP 
it'll cut as long as the serrated edges you're used to, and the blade shape will be familiar.

Why do people worry more if you argue with your voices than if you just talk with them? What about if you lose those arguements?
Slowly going crazy at work... they found a way to make the voices work too.

My vote would be:
Higher price: ~$100-$150
caly3 Carbon Fiber ZDP-189
Sage Carbon Fiber
Para-military
Manix 2
low to mid priced: ~$30-$60
Delica 4 VG-10
Native I
Native III
Salt I
Tasman
Not sure what your requirements are and price range but I just used my best judgment based on what you currently own. You could always get PE versions of what you already have too. Let us know what you decide on.....and post pics!!!

Really depends on what you want in a knife. Manix 2, FRN or CF Stretch II, CF Walker lock or titanium RIL Sage, Caly 3, Police 3, Kopa, Kiwi, and the Natives are all excellent knives.

Get a Delica. Great price, virtually indestructible, different coloured handles, perfect EDC size that just kinda disappears in your pocket until you need it, VG-10, ZDP-189, waved if you want it, full flat grind on the foliage green G-10 (my favorite Delica so far). You can't go wrong with a Delica.
you've got a SE pacific salt -- that means you have great taste. :D
try a mili -- there's a reason it's been a cornerstone of spyderco's line-up for so long. it is definitely a knife you won't regret or outgrow. no matter how many spydies you have, it will be a vital part of your EDC for years to come.

3" blade
Low cost ($50-$100)
-Centofante 4- 2mm thick wharncliff blade will show you what a PE can really do! Great value, and easy to carry.
High cost($100+)
-Caly 3 ZDP- a beautiful gents folder with superb ergos and incredible cutting perfromance. Rides very discreetly in the pocket.
4" Blade
Low
Endura Wave- not the highest level of cutting performance, but decent, and offers the awesomeness of the wave feature, which is super addicting. Down the road, send in to Tom Krein for his famous Regrind- the knife will then be a hair whittling lightsaber that's easy to sharpen.
High
Orange Military- No knife offers the cutting performance of the Military, and Orange is a great color for it- utilitarian and Sheeple friendly + will be worth more in trade than a black Millie down the road.
Good luck, and enjoy!

The newly released Manix 2 and FRN Stretch are both possibilities. One of them should suit you nicely, depending on your preferences as to weight, lock, grind, handle material etc.

I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.

Of cause SE :D :) , but I had go go with flow, also OP is looking for PE.
I used mine so much, that teeth wear out and it became PE :D
(the same happened with Persian)
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf"
My top choices Natives5, Calys, C83 Persian

They are ALL available with a PE somewhere. So you just need to tell us what you want as far as size, handle material, lock/less/type, choil/less, screws/pins, clip position/type, steel, price and sometimes color. It will be fairly easy from there.
Don't leave earth without some teeth. I carry a knife to open a can of worms.
