I've been spying on a delica 4, chaparral and the new upcoming para 3 lightweight. I mostly use my edc's for cutting plastic packages and cardboard boxes. I would appreciate any help! Thank You in advance -Tumeb. Post by rabbitanarchy14 » Tue Mar 26, pm I, as most can only give you our favorites as each knife appeals to different ppl, but my favorites are my para 3 and lil native. Prepare to be mind blown and given 25 options.
If you search around a bit, you'll find many threads similar to what you're asking. There is no definitive answer though. That's on you. I recommend to go into a knife store and try to hold all in hand. Then the decision is much easier. I am also no so much into backlocks and the finger choil gives another option - so I like it. Maybe you can buy a used one for a better price Mine has become pretty much my favorite all around carry.
Usually is between the para or my , but I carry them both usually lol! I have a para 3 lightweight on pre-order though, can't wait to try it. You couldn't go wrong with any of the three you mentioned. Last edited by Wartstein on Tue Mar 26, pm, edited 1 time in total. However with some of the cutting chores I've had the past 3 years I've found my M Military fits the bill for this present time. But my overall and sentimental favorite is the C Ayoob model and if they ever make one with a Supersteel blade I'll probably start carrying one again.
Now on a utility basis when I'm just looking at it strictly from a basis of "needs" versus what I sentimentally like I would go with the C Dyad. Truly you can't go wrong with any of them I've mentioned :cool:. Post by Drewthebrave » Tue Mar 26, pm This is a loaded question, to be sure. For me, an ideal EDC knife is somewhere around 3" long, and is relatively lightweight.
The lightweight version of the Para 3 changed the game. It has a 2. But the magic is in the Compression Lock that works well in the lighter handle. Spyderco also fixed the poor clip of the original Para 3 and substituted a low-profile and well-placed wire clip.
The Millie was one of the first knives to be subjected to the CQI and it remains an excellent option almost 30 years later. Interestingly, the Titanium Millie was one of the best versions but was recently discontinued.
Still, the G Millies are available and worth every penny. The Military is large with a 4-inch blade made from S30V. The handle is narrow and fits the hand quite well. There are a few deficiencies in the design like the lack of clip movement options, but for a heavy-duty folder, this knife does very well for itself.
Best Knives. August 7, at pm. Good article, but it would have been nice to provide prices for those of us who are not as familiar or own any of these Spyderco knives.
And I say this because it sucks to click a link, return to the article, click, return, and so on. Also, much as I like to shop at Amazon and other online vendors, sometimes you find an inflated price or they are out of it. I buy them because I like them, but there are other knives that can take their place. Your email address will not be published.

Like most other mainstream Spydercos the Native comes in a variety of configurations. For many people, the Tenacious series of knives is their introduction to Spyderco — and the start of a fairly expensive habit for some. All of the Tenacious line knives use the same materials and design: textured G10 scales over stainless liners, a liner lock, a four way clip, phosphor bronze washers, and a drop point blade in 8Cr13MoV steel. The blade, of course, is a model of practicality: a full flat ground drop point shape does a little bit of everything well, the thumb-hole opener draws your eye and quickly becomes the natural way to open a knife, the bronze washers make for a smooth deployment, and at under a half-inch thick the Tenacious carries well.
There are some choices when it comes to versions of the Tenacious. Standard is black G10 with a satin finish blade, with a choice of plain edge, part and full serrated. As far as the basics, the Sage is a supremely useful day-to-day knife regardless of which lock type it uses. All versions of the Sage are made with CPM S30V stainless steel, which offers a durable edge and reliable corrosion resistance.
As mentioned, each version offers a unique lock as well as different handle materials and design. The original Sage uses a Michael Walker-designed liner lock combined with carbon fiber-laminate G10 handle scales and weighs a scant 3. The Sage 3 used the Bolt Action lock, accredited to Blackie Collins, in either a checkered carbon fiber laminate or a bright blue G10 handle option.
It uses a backlock , credited to Al Mar who moved the location of the lock bar from the end of the handle up to the middle for easier access and stronger lockup. The Chaparral is named after a bush. Exciting, right? The blade is a full flat ground drop point that measures a scant 0. The blade is 2. All versions of the Chaparral use a backlock.
Handle materials and price vary widely. A new version will be available soon with lightweight bi-directional textured FRN handles and nested stainless skeletonized liners for strength, while still weighing only 2 ounces. The titanium handled versions of the Chaparral are considerably more expensive. Why, then, has it widely been considered one of the best small EDC choices in the market for years? Simple: it does more with less.
A lot less. It has an ambidextrous tip up deep-carry wire clip — the lightweight version only weighs 1.
