Spyderco Forums

I was looking for a small Spydie as an EDC...to appease the sheeple. I like the mouse, but I don't need anything that $$$. How's the cricket as an EDC? What's your favorite small spydie?>

The Meercat is cheap, check it out.

Otherwise, Mouse apart, my favourite small Spydie is the Navigator - and it's just got better in VG10

The best inexpensive small EDC Spydie is the Dragonfly. The Meercat is alright, though I find it too thick in my pocket. The Cricket is way cool, but a bit specialized for EDC with it's "S" blade.

Dragonfly.

Agreed, Dragonfly. I have both the FRN and the SS handles. The lightweight is uh, lightweight and the SS is, I think, pretty. Yep, Dragonfly, your choice.

I would go with either Dragonfly or a Meerkat. You should probably also look at the Navigator if you're gonna consider the meerkat. Another choice may be the Salsa. It's a bit bigger, and a bit more expensive, but reasonably sheeple-friendly, and is a large-feeling small blade.

I agree with the above comments, but you really should handle a Cricket first before deciding, if you have the opportunity. What an easy knife to manipulate it is.

Personally my favorite little spydie was always the calypso jr. in SS. I loved that knife and one day my friends evil car ate it. so My vote calypso jr. either handle style

"..His evil car ate it.." what does that mean?

SS Dragonfly rules! I've used mine(plain edge) everyday since I got it in August. Used at work on boxes and such till mid-november(them I left! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>)

I also have a Tufram Cricket, serrated, that I bought March '01. I don't find as many uses for this one, more for boxes and thread.

SpyderNut,
You trying to spread the CF Virus again? We'll see when I get my CF Civie. I know, the opposite end of the Spydie spectrum from the D'fly but I had to have a CF knife to see if the Virus is real. I hope.<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Use to be a cricket but I'm really liking my new Jester. The front perch is awesome.

The Cricket is nifty ... I move around on which one to use as my moneyclip, and today it's the Cricket! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

However, the Navigator is always with me as my EDC (& a Jester on the keychain). It's like Sal designed the Navigator for me, it fits so well (and I have a slight preference for it over my Meerkat).

If I could only have one <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> (perish the thought!), it'd be a Navigator.

My vote would be for the SS Dragonfly PE. Mine is fitted and finished really well. It shines like a jewel so it appears less intimidating.

I had a Dragonfly that I was happy with, if it had been Spyder edge, I would still have it. I just ordered the VG-10 SE Navigator for my perminant EDC. RKBA!
