Best choice for #3?

[Ren]

Im a 26 year old Spyderco-lovin' chick and am planning to buy my third Spyderco knife sometime soon. I have a Calypso Jr Lightweight and a Delica. The Calypso is by far my favorite and my everyday carry. It feels perfect in my hand, fits easily in my pocket, even if Im wearing dress pants for work. The Delica is a great knife, but it was an impulse buy that I now regret. Its a bit big for me to carry comfortably and truth be told, I rarely need a blade that big anyway.

I haven't a clue why I feel like I need a third knife, but Im drawn to the Salsa, Meercat and Navigator. Maybe something with a serrated edge since my other two are plain. Is one of these 3 a better choice than the others? Whats the difference between the AUS 6 Meercat and the others? The aluminum Salsa vs the Ti? Combo edge over full serrated?

My friends laugh at me, carrying around "those scary big knives" and maybe Im just paranoid, but I think that everyone should always have two things on their person, a (good) knife and a flashlight

I would choose the knives in the same order you have listed in your post!

Amen to that!

I only have one of the three knives that you mentioned, the Navigator, so I can't compare them. I have the older (discontinued) model with G10 handle and really like it. I've been plugging it a lot on the forum lately, partly because I bought it recently, but mostly because it is a great design. The handle shape is perfect for a small knife, and it certainly fits your criteria for pocket carry. The new models with Almite handles are well-regarded also.

Mine is SpyderEdge. Some people don't care for the serrations since they are less versatile than plain edge, but I find some things like plastic are easier with serrations. One of each type is perfect...

Hi,
I like the Navigator.
Here is a review I started.

I don't have any of the other sypderco's you listed, but I think the navigator is a sweat little knife.
