Which spydied for me next?

#1

Post by ncvarmint »

Hello all, i have sold several para2's lately to fund some different spyderco's. I have
2 paramilitary 2's (black/black, and camo/satin)
black military
and a gayle bradley.
I am looking to buy a couple knives for Under $200, so i am looking at the trans blue manix2, delica's and endura's. I know for sure i am going to buy a sage 1, that will leave me with around $90 to spend.
what do you think i should get ?
thanks

You should get Native5 or Caly3.5, but better both. You will thank me later.

My top choices Natives5, Calys, C83 Persian

great choice on the sage 1, i was going to def recommend that one.

With 90 bucks, i would look at the Stretch, All black Manix2, Dfly 2, and the ones you listed. Any of these would be a good addition to your line up.

Try a Yojimbo, it is addictive and amazing, or try for a Bob Lum tanto, or save towards a southard or starmate

You seem to have the mid-larger sizes covered. Have you considered a smaller knife? Chaparral maybe? It is Sage1's little brother and a great EDC knife. Or even a Man or Lady bug. I like the Manbug and there are 3 to choose from. Dragonflys are a favorite but I've never had one. There is also a few choices with them. A Dfly has been on my wish list for at least 3 years but I have always bought something else. Other than smaller knives I don't have anything to add to what has already been mentioned. You could probably get two smaller ones if you wanted to. How about a Manbug (ZDP) and a Dfly (ZDP)? When I do get a Dfly it will have a ZDP-189 blade more than likely.

I am not really a fan of small knives. The smallest i can handle is a delica. Thanks for the info. Maybe when i get some more medium sized knives i may try a small one

Everyone should have a Delica (or two). Everyone.

Look for a G10 Delica if you want to get crazy.

One word, Trevor: TECHNO. I know it wasn't on your list, but anyone looking for an awesome folder will certainly appreciate this knife!
