Had a hard time deciding, so I went back the next day and bought my second Spyderco.
My first choice was a Delica. In person, this knife is bigger than its seems from looking at the internet pictures. Pretty much everything I was looking for in a knife. The only thing I didn't really like was the fact that the only color the store had was black. I was hoping for something brighter just because I have a hard time keeping up with things. I figured I could live with the color and pick up another brighter colored delica later if I want to.
The second knife that I went back and bought was a Manix 2 lightweight translucent blue. I liked the fact that it was bright and easier for me to keep up with, the size to weight ratio and American made.
The things I'm not sure about are the blade lock system is completely new to me, I prefer liners and one of the reasons I have found an interest in spyderco is the screw together construction which this knife doesn't have. Have I ever had a reason to un-pin a knife? No. But for some reason, I like the idea that if I had to, I could.
It feels to me that if I dropped it hard on concrete, it would shatter? I'm sure that's not the case after reading some reviews.
The last 2 days, I've mostly carried the Delica, but once I use my Manix 2 more, that could change.
