Between these 4...

Too tough a choice, since everyone has good things to say about all of them... so I ordered them all! Guess I'll find out how much I like each one. Now I await the dreaded credit card bill...

That's your best choice :thumbup:. Now your only problem will be which one to carry around first :D.
 
Para is the only knife you *need*, but Caly3 is the best for city/dress carry. UKPK/Urban for the paranoid or British, and Lava feels a little too specialized towards SD for me. All are great though. Tell us what you think when they come in!
 
I would get the Lava in the Caly 3. I have a Lava I use for EDC right now, if I were going to get another knife it would be the Caly 3. You might like the Lava more then you think, it is a pretty cool little knife.
 
I like my SS Dragonfly PE but sometimes wish for a little more handle.
I like my Wegners but sometimes think a smaller knife would be handier.

I voted with $$$ and have a Lava PE and a Caly 3 SE en route. Best of big and little knife worlds?

The thought of a G10 Lava SE is quite enticing.
 
The UKPK is my EDC, with other knives being rotated in. I would suggest it or the Caly 3. Tremendous knife. I don't find myself ever needing longer blades, except in the kitchen on occasion. I often carry a Spin in my 5th pocket so I always have a small, razor sharp blade on me after I've spent the day breaking down cardboard with the UKPK and it's lost some of its edge. Never had a negative comment about either knife using them in "non-knife" places and I've never felt under knifed. If you need more blade the Para is an excellent knife though. I try to carry the smallest blades I can get away with these days, because it offers more control during a cut IMO.

The Lava I haven't used, but didn't feel as good in hand as the Spin, and I like the spin's blade shape better.
 
I know what you mean about the credit card bill :D I just bought a new carbine, a quick $1000. It's bad when you have a knife and tactical rifle addiction!
 
WOO-HOO! :D Just had to chime in because 3 of the 4 (I talked about when I started this thread) came in today. Just arrived: Lava, FG UKPK and Caly 3.. Initial thoughts..

LAVA- Alot more comfortable than I imagined and SHARP! Seems like it'd be a good small EDC back-up, plus, nice unique design, I likes it..
UKPK- Light! The locking mechanism is pretty firm, even though it's not a lock, per say, REALLY nice Spydie, pleasure to hold, very similar to the..
CALY 3- wow, now I see what all the fuss is about, excellent all around... not much more to say, except, perfect?!.. Either the UKPK or CALY 3 will now be my official EDC, as they are both VERY comfortable in the hand and just the perfect size, for me.. I'm super happy with my new arrivals, especially the last two.. Thank you all for your input and for nudging me to do the inevitable.. GETT'EM ALL!!! Oh and sorry for no pics yet, I'm working on it!
 
I like my Caly 3 and Military. Two perfect EDC - one for office and one for outdoor.
Caly 3 in my opinion is the best designed Spyderco.
