Best Spyderco for EDC?

Mannlicher · May 15, 2015

I think it's difficult to do better than the Native 5. So many have mentioned the Delica, that I ordered one of the stainless steel handle ones from Knifeworks.

I own a Delica 4 FFG and a Sage 1. Both are excellent EDC knives. You really can't go wrong with either. My Delica kicked my ZTs and Benchmades out of the rotation if that means anything. Just got the Sage 1, and so far I am loving it as well.

I would probably skip the metal scales, IMO. The Delica is my favorite that I own.

Here are a bunch of stainless steel-handled Spydercos from Blade HQ: http://www.bladehq.com/cat--All-Spy...inless Steel&page=1&sort.price_sort_desc=desc

But if if it's just for aesthetics, then look at their titanium handled offerings as well, you might like them. I can't recommend the Slysz Bowie highly enough.

para 2 or any of the sage line are great edc choices.

Best Spyderco with stainless steel handles: Foundry.

You have a lot of choices for Spyderco folders with stainless steel handles:

Some are quite small like LadyBug and only the Police model is over 4 inches.

Get yourself a Paramilitary 2 and some Casey Lynch Titanium scales for it and you will be all set!

i vote for the delica ,,great edc piece ,,

I really like the etched and artwork pieces like the Dragonfly, Cricket etc. However generally speaking SS scales are inferior in terms of weight, traction, and ability to disassemble the knife.

Love my dragonfly 2. Great in every way. That's all that an urban EDC knife is supposed to be.

You really should edit your original post and specify steel in the title.

You really can't go wrong with the Delica or the Endura. Although I love the Police. All three are 4" and less.

I second the Native with stainless slabs

nick21 · May 15, 2015

Lots of people in this thread seemed to only read the title...

Anyway, I'd suggest the stainless Dragonfly or Delica.

oxman198 · May 15, 2015

Stainless endura with spyder edge.

I would have told you that you can't go wrong with a Manix 2. Amazing edc.
BUT, since you mentioned stainless -- I'd have to go with a Delica.

I would have to say Southard. I know it's a bit pricey but it's perfect for me. I own a PM2 but prefer a hollow grind, beefy blade of the Southard. It's my go to knife and I'm not afraid to use it. The hollow grind is actually better for food prep then FFG. It's separate slices when they stick with FFG. I carry mostly Southard and Domino and love them both.

Freman Bloodglaive · May 16, 2015

Tatanka?

Pilot1 · May 16, 2015

Southard, or a Manix II for me. Both excellent for EDC. The Southard is a little jewel with more blade than it should have.

yexactly · May 16, 2015

Any Sage (like Sage 3 the best) or if you prefer a longer blade the PM2.
