Anthony,
This is wishful thinking, but I love it. Midlock will be fine for me. Compression lock is only the third favorite after midlock and BBL. Actually I would love to see Golden made calys with BBL, caged or not.

I voted for PM2 after carrying it for almost a year with occasionally carrying my Native 5. I am now looking for something smaller... Maybe a Sage 1, Caly 3 or Chaparral. Awesome thread.

Hey guys,
I voted Para 1.
I've got two, black on black, and fg d2.
The smoothest knives I have, and great ergos.
I think the Para 2 lost some of the original charm, but that's just me.
Later,
Don

It's elementary, my dear addylo...the truth is that only 11.6 % of Spyderco forum posters are enlightened Jedi knights.



Sage series
23 votes = 11.56%

The Dragonfly is the perfect EDC knife if you just want a small high quality EDC knife that you don't even notice is in your pocket...whereas the Sage is larger, and far better in everyway than the very, very good-but-small Dragonfly.

I tend to carry my native or my emerson opener delica the most. Love them both! Just the right size in my opinion, although I've been itching to get the paramilitary.

I voted Endura/Delica. Kind of bias because it was my first Spydie, but no choil and the size made it a winner for me back then.

I will take any, caged or non caged. I am not sure, if any of them possible considering how narrow Caly is.

We can dream though right? ;)

This poll is getting super close. Are we going to have a new leader?

What is interesting, in the beginning Caly family was a clear leader, with para2 being distant second. Than Paras start to pick-up and than Delica/Endura family. It looks for me that Calys are most popular among most active forum members, but it doesn't matter how much do we love them Delica/Endura are best sellers. Of cause out of three leaders Calys are most expensive and Delica/Endura is the least, which helps.

I voted Delica/Endura as my blue FFG Delica finds its way into my pocket most often. I use either my PM2 or my Green FFG Endura as my primary outdoors blade (although those don't count as EDC for me). I will say, however, that things may be a changing since I received my first Caly 3.5 in the mail on Saturday. That thing is amazing. As the forumite who swayed me to buy it put it, "it's almost a Delica in handle and almost an Endura in blade."

Here is my most popular EDC "set". Any one (or two or three...) of these will be in my pockets on any given day. A Caly3 may join the group. :) Just not sure when though.

The Caly series actually represents 2 different blade lengths, whereas all the rest of the knives represent only 1! A distiction should be made between the Caly3 and the Caly 3.5!

manix series = original manix, original manix mini, manix 2, manix 2 XL
delica/endura = same category, different sizes

and all the other options include multiple knives. oh and the caly series includes more than just the 3 and 3.5 ;)

And yes look at the Manix category! There is 1/2" difference in blade length between the Manix2 and the XL! I didn't even consider the XL! Thanks again! Boy do we have much to consider!? :confused:
