I have been given permission from the CFO(wife) to get another knife. Up to about $100 worth.

It will be a Spyderco.:thumbup:

I'm looking at:

- FFG G-10 Delica 4
- FFG Carbon Fiber Native 4
- FFG G-10 UKPK
- Orange Urban Slipit w/ warny-blade
- Micro Dyad

I'm leaning towards the D4 as it's my favorite knife size for EDC. The Native looks interesting but haven't handled one. I have a leaf-Urban already.

Thoughts are appreciated...:D
 
My girlfriend got me the G10 D4 for Christmas. I'm stoked about it and can't wait until the 26th so I can actually play with it!
 
I have the foliage green delica 4 in ZDP189 and its awesome. (( rules violation ))

Hmmm... you have an urban, so I'd skip the warny for now
if you want a bigger urban, the UKPK is great (and probably my fav of this list, although I never got around to the native 4).
I really didn't like the Micro dyad much, just a BIT too small, beautiful piece tho' absolutely amazing F&F on the one I had.
PERSONALLY if it were me, I'd prolly go for the CF Native 4, I love the original and want to try out the N4, but dont' have the extra cash to pony up for it.
The G10 Delica is very intersting, but only from a "Try the g10 version vs the FRN I already have" I have LOTS of knives in this size and already have D4W.


If you didnt' already have an Urban I would have said UKPK, cuz I LOVE That knife so much. :)
 
I like my small leaf-Urban so much I'm now leaning towards this UKPK:

Or...this Stretch looks good too:

I eventually want the D4 in FFG G-10 but I hear there's some colored ones coming out soon so I'll wait. Got plenty of D4s in other version already.

I just got a Stretch in today. Haven't had it long enough to give a full review, but I like what I've seen so far. It's between the Delica and Endura size-wise. It weighs 3.3 oz on my cheap postal scale and the blade is 3.5" long. It has skeletonized nested liners and the handle is about 1.5 mm thicker than the Delica. The FFG blade is 3mm thick per my calipers (versus 2.5mm for the Delica) and it should be a great slicer.

Here's a quick picture I took this afternoon. Not the best quality...

I would grab CF Native4 without a second of hesitation. IMHO the knife is the best of Natives ever made. Great ergos, excellent slicer, fit and finish outstanding. Considering materials CF Native4 is certainly level up to compare with rest of the list with exception of micro-dyad.
You still can find Native4 at heavy discounted price.

Agreed, the Native 4 is a very high quality knife that will probably not be available much longer. At the current price it is selling for, I would definitely recommend it.
