I know this particular model is old hat for most on this board, but it seems to also be fairly well respected and I'm happy to join the club. Thanks a bunch to all of you, especially Sal for staying s...

Well, there's always the fun/fiddle factor. I have to admit that's why I own a fair number of autos while living in a state that they're illegal to carry but not to own. :)

Newbie needs some Stretch-u-cation

Earlier today I noticed I could preorder a Strecth 2 in V-Toku2/SUS310 for almost the same price as the VG10 version. Is one a clear winner over the other? Or, is the ZDP189 version better than both for $40 more? Please help keep me from looking back on this purchase with regret next year. Thanks!

An updated Kiwi with rounded scales, like the ones I’ve seen modded here, or similar other slender “gentleman” knives with fancy scales.

Re: Hello and incoming!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I really struggled deciding between the Dragonfly and Delica, but I figured it was really more of a question of which to buy *first*. I owned a lot of Gerbers back in the '80s (all gone), and my nicest knife ever was an early Benchmade Emerson CQC-7 (also gone). All I ha...

Hello and incoming!

Hi, all! I’ve been lurking a bit to figure out what I’d like to buy for a small EDC, and tonight I went for a Dragonfly 2, Zome green, VG-10. It’s my first Spyderco. It’ll only see light duty, but I’m sure it’ll be awesome. Thanks to everyone for the wealth of knowledge and so many great posts! I’ll...
