My girlfriends birthday is coming up, and one of the things I would like to get her is a Spyderco. I know she won't want anything very bulky, so which one should I get her?
Thanks
Chris
spydie for the girlfriend..

As I do not own a native, I cannot speak for it from experience. But I do own two dragonflies, a ladybug, and SS Harpy.
Might I suggest a Stainless Dragonfly? PE of course. This way you can also get it engraved. I think the ss dragonfly is perfect in that it is by no means bulky, carries a classy look, and also packs alot of cutting power.

I gave my girlfriend a pink delica when they first came out with them; maybe 7 years ago??
She has used it non stop and carries it all the time. The tip is bent and the handles are a bit battered, but she loves it. NO-ONE has ever freaked out for her carrying a knife around (even on campus or at the daycare where she worked for a while) 'cause it is pink and they all say "how cute, a *girls* knife".
Second to that, a S.S. Dragonfly PE sounds quite nice and if you had it engraved by a skilled jeweler she could pass it on to your <gulp> granddaughter!

Ladybug PE from Blade Art. Lots of colors, collectable and she can put it on her key chain where she'll have it when she needs it. My wife carries one(SE)and uses it often.
Also consider the necklace mimi-police. It is very cute and usable.
Also, when you go to JJensen's site, ;look at the very bottom of his listings for the perl necklace knife by another brand. These come from one of the same factories that make some of the spydies (i think)are made in over in Japan and they are elegant and come in a jewelry style velvet box. I got one for my daughter and it is very cool.
Do you folks camp? Get her the fixed blade Lum and then you can borrow it from her to fell trees!
A shabira is nice and light and easy opening and slim. Just right for the ladies...
Heck-just get her the catalog for the B-Day from Joyce at SFO and and let her pick what she'll use most.
Big help-right ?

Dude~ I just got my sister a Pink Delica from John Jensen's web page for $38 bucks. I haven't presented it to her yet, but I know she will enjoy it.
As the others mentioned, you would probably do well to also consider a Mouse. This way, you could have the handle ingraved with something.

Chris-
Has she carried a knife before, does she have preferences?
Don't leave the SpyderCard out of the consideration. If she works in the business world where she might not always be wearing clothing with pockets, it works great in a purse and lays flat in one of this impossible tiny suit coat pockets.
If she's a jewelry fiend, what about a Police Model necklace or a small neck knife like a Perrin la Griffe?
