New Spydie for Michael

#1

Post by slice22358 »

Ok, I need a new knife. I have narrowed it down to 3 choices but I need your help to decide which. Should it be, A. Stretch II B. ATR, or C. Captain?
Yes it's my own personal election night! Which do you think?

If you're considering an ATR get one while they are still around. I had one briefly. Too big for my EDC tastes, but what a smooth knife it was.

Stretch II without a doubt. It's the best knife Spyderco has ever built.

I would go for a Captain

I have been thinking about that knife alot. I now see that Al-Mar has the Payara and Boker has the Rampage. All have similar blade styles. Wonder why that style of blade is taking off i.e. the recurved bottom with the bulb or tanto like tip. The Captain seems to be the most functional of all though from a utility standpoint

Definitely the Stretch II. One of Spyderco's best!

If you ever get a chance...

Definitively pick up the ATR.

Its a great knife with a great design... Plus the Cobra Hood is great, and I hope to see it in future models.

For me to make a selection/suggestion for you I would need some more info. What do you plan to use it for? Does your local knife law dictate any blade length restriction? Do you prefer thinner handles or thicker handles? Do you have any lock phobia's? :) Other than that, I would say get them all.
