Comparing a few Spyderco's

I'm the Spyderco newb that picked up his firs 2 spyderco's a couple of weeks ago, a delica 4 and a Manix 2 lightweight Ruby blue. I have a 13 year old daughter that plays basketball and she has been doing a lot of cross country running to get in shape and I think she has taken over the Manix 2 as her running knife. Clips it to her running shorts and now she can't quit flicking it while she watches tv. So I think the Manix 2 is out for me.
I'm really liking the Delica. I really like the way the whole thing fits in my hand while closed and the feel of the FRN. A couple of other Spyderco's I might would be interested in are the Sage 1 and the Stretch, or I might just stick with the Delica. Does anyone have any comparison shots of these three? ALso, does anyone have any comparison shots of the regular green Delica compared to the British racing green Delica side by side?
My main uses are a general all around edc and for hiking, fishing, , camping. When I say, hunting I mean for the gutting and skinning of deer. I hunt on my property and use a hatchet and saw for the rest of the processing.
So I'm thinking about a Sage I, a stretch, or maybe just sticking with the delica and just pick up a green that kind of just kind goes along with the rest of my hunting gear.
Thanks in advance.
 
I no longer have my Sage however here's a couple pics of a stretch, Delica and kabar dozier Hunter.

The Delica is a great knife, especially for EDC, but it may be a little small for processing deer. Same with the Sage. In addition to the Stretch you might also want to look at the Endura. It's the big brother to the Delica. Good luck.
