Just like Kaizer said.
The rescue is sheeple friendly EDC (made to save sheeples and knivenuts) and the ergonomics are just incredible !!

Welcome to the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Forum Tom!!!
If you can, try and see how each one feels in your hand...go from there. Everyone likes different models. Personally I would go with the Delica or Calypso Jr. Endura if you need something a tad on the bigger side. Take Care!!!

Line up all of the names in a hat and pick one.
Then get a Calypso Jr. PE, Dodo, Native, Delica, and that Native III you mentioned.

*Heh <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Plenty to like there but we'd ALL hope for another run <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
PV knives seems to have one, but I've never bought from them before and so can't say if they are reliable:

Other than that, maybe try a Pro-Grip? It's smaller but you might still like it as much as I do.

Another vote for John F Jensen. He's got great knives and very fair prices! I love just switching my EDC's around. For years I carried a Calyso or its Experimental prototype, as many have attested here it and the Delica are good EDC's. But I'll carry the Native, then the Goddard Jr., the FlatIron folder, then the old Terzuola C15 (I probably carry that knife more than all the others combined). I have this "thing" about collectible knives. At some point I just have to get them out of their box, and hold them, feel their weight, and carry and use them. I'm more of a user than a sheer collector.
