Manly men or metrosexuals ?

N_N_R · **Reply #91 on:** July 28, 2015, 04:06:16 PM

Thanks bmot, this really helped!

So I'm definitely going for the Delica if I have to choose between the two

DKS ....

From which type are you?

sawman · **Reply #92 on:** July 28, 2015, 04:10:05 PM

Now you're talkin! The Delica is my preferred Spydie. I have an orange one

N_N_R · **Reply #93 on:** July 28, 2015, 04:28:29 PM

Ok, why is it so good

sawman · **Reply #94 on:** July 28, 2015, 04:30:27 PM

IMO, it's the perfect sized EDC. Extremely light-weight and easy OHO

N_N_R · **Reply #95 on:** July 28, 2015, 04:36:32 PM

Easy OHO sounds great!

Moreover, I've been watching these for really a long time. So I'll wait for the guy to tell me what he has available, if it has Delicas, I'll probably go for one.. even if it's not orange.

sawman · **Reply #96 on:** July 28, 2015, 04:43:04 PM

Brown would have been my second choice. I do hope you get one - they really are awesome

bmot · **Reply #97 on:** July 28, 2015, 04:45:28 PM

I think the Delica is probably one of the most popular Spydie's, so I would guess most shops will have them

Not sure about orange though.

N_N_R · **Reply #98 on:** July 28, 2015, 05:04:09 PM

Well, if not orange... probably gray or green or blue, not sure about the purple or brown.

I don't know what real hue they've got in real life, though. Those photoshopped thingies usually look better online. My orange Buck was very bright orange online and more of.. brownish, ceramic... dark orange live.

N_N_R · **Reply #101 on:** July 28, 2015, 05:26:53 PM

OH, NOOOO, you're baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad peopleeee, bad bad bad bad bad bad

The only thing that probably will make me get a Delica is that it's available in my country .... ok, probably also the OHO

I need to take classes on decision-making

But hey, I'll get a Delica to comfort me now and maybe at some point order the Pingo and wait for it ... while playing with the Delica ...

N_N_R · **Reply #102 on:** July 28, 2015, 05:27:17 PM

I love the damn Pingo, grrr.

sawman · **Reply #103 on:** July 28, 2015, 05:32:18 PM

I'm digging that Pingo too! I love its blade profile

You can't go wrong with a Spydie. Take some time, figure out which model/colour you want and then buy

Etherealicer · **Reply #104 on:** July 28, 2015, 05:45:09 PM

You guys should look at the Positron... god its pretty

Congrats!

Good choice!

(only saw this thread today...)

jzmtl · **Reply #108 on:** July 28, 2015, 07:32:55 PM

I was going to say those new spydercos are awful and get a Persian, but looks like they have been discontinued.

shark_za · **Reply #109 on:** July 28, 2015, 08:57:33 PM

Congratulations!

You deserve to get yourself a Spyderco Paramilitary 2.

A Delica is brilliant too.

It turns out that guy here doesn't have Delicas aaaaaaaat all. Although there are whatnot versions listed on the site. SMURF.

Then he offered me some insanely high price for some Endura, so I assume it's some weird more expensive model.

It seems I'll have to order from abroad again and hope for the parcel to arrive and not get lost or stuck in customs

I've also looked at the Paralimitary, but maybe it's a bit too bigger than I'd like my next knife to be

@pfrsantos, better later than never

jzmtl · **Reply #111 on:** July 28, 2015, 09:29:14 PM

Paramilitary is pretty small, half way between endura and delica.

N_N_R · **Reply #112 on:** July 29, 2015, 12:42:10 PM

Ok, the Endura is out of the list, too. It's toooo huge. 12,7cm sounded rather long, but now that I saw a guy with a big hand hold an Endura.... it's enormous.

Oddly I feel very comfortable with Endura's size. Delica on the other hand simply has a too small handle for my hand. Exact reason why my Farmer has kicked the Sage 1 as the most carried folder in my rotation

firiki · **Reply #114 on:** July 29, 2015, 12:53:42 PM

I'm happy for you, N_N_R!

Perhaps you should consider a small fixed blade knife?

Maybe it's not odd, you're a guy after all, you're probably ... bigger overall

So, on the list already:

= Pingo, orange
= Spyderco Spy-DK, orange
= Native (not sure)

.....

The Salt also turned out to be biggish ... I just hadn't looked at their sizes so far, I was lost in the huge variety of models, so I was looking for something I LIKE. lol

So, the Pingo and the Spy - DK can't be opened with one hand, otherwise they're cooool. The only advantage the Native has is the OHO. So.... it'll probably still be the Pingo.

We'll see

Still looking.

@firiki,

Yeah, I want a Spydie for some reason, though. Thanks

Well OK, if that's what you really want. I'm just saying good fixed blade knives hold a certain allure I cannot describe

N_N_R · **Reply #118 on:** July 29, 2015, 04:18:47 PM

I loooooked at whatnot online stores here, nobody has a Pingo, gr. Or another one I like.

I've been looking at a Victorinox Sentinel OHO for ages...

I love the colour of the Hunter XT, too, orange.

I wanted to have a OHO, corkscrew and a bottle opener, but nothing matches, lol.

But if it's gonna be the Sentinel or the Hunter XT... neither has a bottle opener, the Hunter has at least a corkscrew and is orange...

jzmtl · **Reply #119 on:** July 29, 2015, 08:19:04 PM

How about a spyderco classic, caly 3? It's pretty small.

The Salt is same as previous gen of Delica so shouldn't be too big, the Pacific Salt however is same as Endura. Or you could always go for a Tasman salt.

Although I would not get a salt unless you really need something that doesn't rust.
