Should have gone with the Stretch. Blade is between the Delica and Endura in size, but the handle is much better fit for average size hands. Stretch is PEREFECT.

My first Spydie was an Endura. Nice but a bit too large for me to EDC. Then I got a Delica - perfection!
Then I got another 'Delica', the Tasman Salt in H1 fully serrated - saweeet!
Got several Delicas now in all sorts of 'flavors'.
"So many options" - indeed!

Yep, Stretch is a solid bet.
It's a LOT of blade that rides deceptively well in pocket (especially with a deep carry clip). On the other hand, the Endura to me just always feels big, cuz it IS fairly big. But it has it's place.
The Delica just simply fits in everywhere and for so many uses and has so many varieties.
Yeah, it's definitely a good-sized knife, although it's quite light and slim for the amount of blade it offers you. I bet that if you carry it a bit, by the time you get your Delica it will seem a lot more natural than you expect, and you'll have a very nice option if you ever feel the need to have a more serious knife handy.
