Re: Which SE to get as a first SE?
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I am basically looking for a comparison on how well the SE compares to PE in edc (so mostly slicing some cardbox, opening letters, some food prep).
So I guess it should be something I am familiar with to improve the comparison.
I always found the native to be a bit thick blade wise... The carribean is very appealing, as is the steel, but I think it would rather be the knife I would vuy once convinced. So I guess it will boil down to a salt, delica or the efficient.
Thanks all for chiming in!

Just to have? Pacific Salt.
For garden work? Tasman Salt or Spyderhawk Salt.
For boxcutting? Atlantic Salt or VG10 Delica Wharncliffe.
For vehicle safety? VG10 Assist.

I am not a fan of the delica. However, despite that, the SE wharncliffe version is just so useful. It is not my most carried knife, but it is probably my most used knife.

Get the Pacific Salt SE. I really liked my PE Pacific Salt.
40 Spyderco knives in 11 different steels,
1 Byrd and 30 “others”

I'd go with a blade length that best meets your needs... for example, cutting a loaf of bread vs a 1/4" piece of cord.
