You've gathered up quite the starting collection there!

Even though I hate these knives for being extremely wide, it's opening holes and complete design is just so user friendly that somehow I always come back to it.
There are quite a few of models with a more narrow profile and I'm sure many of us have a few good recommendations!
Is there anything you need in such a knife?
Does it need to be H1/LC200N?
Certain blade shape/length you want it in?
Grind and lock type preferences?

Enjoy your stay here! :)
Well, it doesn't have to be H1 nor LC, if it's in M390 or CTS204P :D
I'm a leftie, and most slim profile Spydercos are liner/frame locks, so this is awkward. Bought a ZT 452, and after trying to switch the clip and carry it, it went straight to closet. That was the fastest ever I ditched a knife. And no chance in **** that I'll pay what Chris asks for a lefty framelock.

I'm pretty much left with backlocks, and am tempting to take lefty Para2 l, but it's just too huge for EDCing.

Waiting for Para3 lefty (did I mention M390 is a winner :D ).

Welcome, bro, and I really like your Dragonfly scales. Is that just the green G10 one? In the pic I see lines. Probably just the pixilation or something. You'll get used to the blade widths after a while. Now that I use Spyderco, all other brands feel weird to me.
Just standard G10 green ones.
As for the addiction, I fully understand.
I decided to wait a bit now however, waiting for guys in factory to start loving M390 a bit more :D

Welcome to the forum!

You have got a nice collection going. How do you like that Native Salt? I've been tempted to buy one.
I never handled a Native before I bought the Native Salt, wow is it ergonomic. You have to get one they are stellar. You won’t be disappointed!

If you wanna jump on M390, you'll have to settle for a PM2 or PM3.
The only Spydies in CTS 204p that I know of (Southard, Mili and Domino) won't be any good for lefties.
I'll take my time to look through my collection tonight and might find something which'll suit your needs ;)

Hello guys,

As I can't seem to find a subforum for starters, I might as well say hello here.

If I missed it, please move the topic.

Anyway, electronics engineer from Croatia here, and my knife collection started years ago with Police (I believe I've seen it in Die Hard back then :D ).

Next was Salt I, as I needed someting smaller and more EDC friendly, plus I live and work in marine conditions (Police got rust just standing in the closet). Well, after this you can see the rest of my small collection.

Even though I hate these knives for being extremely wide, it's opening holes and complete design is just so user friendly that somehow I always come back to it.

Currently EDC-ing Dragonfly, and dreaming of a blue M390 version coming soon from Sal :D

Will lurk a bit more, and try to contribute where I can.
