Stretch

My vote probably comes as no surprise,

I have been asking for a Salty Millie. It’s called the Navy seriously though, a Magna cut or LC200N Millie would be amazing, especially the LC200N because of the added toughness.

Wouldn’t it be better called the Marine? Since the navy may remind people a bit to much of that village people song…

Salty Marine. I like it. Reminds me of South Carolina in the summer.

Other Stretch 2/Stretch 2 XL family

I am pretty sure those are counted into the Endura family (though they are different in several aspects to Endura/Pac Salt, Endela, Delica/Salt. As is the DFly).

True but I like the song Macho Man.

Salt Military, maybe call it the Saltary?

Perhaps call it the Frogman. Frogmen are military divers.

I suppose if they are both Japanese backlocks, but the handles are completely different and should be a different family IMO. I tend to avoid the Delica/Endela/Endura family because the handle gives me an instant hotspot on my ring finger as it hits that first bump in the handle, there simply isn't enough space for my index and ring finger in that first groove.

Salt.

Call it the Seal. Or Seal Team.

I've carried & used every version since it came out - Delica Family.

The Delica, for me, is a perfect blend of fit, function, and affordability.

I love the Caly 3, but it's not as easy to replace.
The Rhino has become one of my favorite Spyderco knives, but sadly discontinued.

Among currently produced Spyderco knives, the Chapparal LW is the closest in competition to my Delica.

The Delica fits my hand like it was made for it. During the period of my life where I used knives the hardest (EMT, Army Medic) I carried a Delica & it accomplished everything I asked of it. It is one of the only knives, among all brands, I have more than 1 of.

Too many SEAL knives already. SEALs are frogmen

I will limit myself native + Salt = native salt! A great limitation!

A well deserved praise of this iconic spydie. Which Delica would be your fav ?

Surprising to see how well the "Endura/Endela/Delica" family still fares, despite in that poll it is the only family that is specifically limited to explicitly three models (while, as said, I believe the Stretches and DFly technically belong to the "Endura family" too) -
and despite the "Salts" are their own family in that poll, so the iconic Pac Salt, Salt 2 and DFly Salt don´t count for the "Endura family" here.

I really don’t see how the dragonfly or the stretch is seen as part of the delica family, a “family” of knife designs means they share significant design characteristics, as in like relatives of a family. I believe in order of size this family would go ladybug, manbug, delica, endela, endura, and the police.

I totally get your point and I don´t have a dog in the race here personally!

It is just that in discussions on this forum it has been often the case that the "Endura family" also included DFly and Stretch(es) - perhaps cause they are all Seki knives with the exact same backlock the exact same FRN pattern and so on? ...
Or cause Sal once said something along the lines that he designed the Stretch 1 (among other reasons) to fill the "gap" between Delica and Endura (this was long before the Endela came out of course).

Practically it does not matter (to me and generally) anyway, but theoretically if the Stretches and DFly belonged to the broader "Endura family" the Jumpers should so too...
