Double question

[EagleIH]

I'm looking to buy an edc combo of two Spydercos...a Delica for after work and weekends and a small bottom-of-pocket knife for office carry, probably a Ladybug or Manbug. My question is two-fold. Does anyone prefer the saber ground Delica to the ffg, and which small knife would best compliment the Delica, the Ladybug or Manbug, and why? I'm new to Spydercos, so I really appreciate your input.

Am sure there are those that do. Not everyone wants a knife that's optimized for slicing, some want one that, at least in theory, will be stronger. And, as much a I'm a fan of slicers, I'd bet that in a blind slicing test of two equally sharp Delicas, damn few people could tell wich was saber and which was full flat ground. As for the Ladybug vs Manbug, the later has a slightly larger handle, so many will find it a bit more comfortable to use, but otherwise there's little practical difference and, while both look something like the Delica, they're both going to be very different from it in terms of "feel" due to their size. To give you a better idea of their relative size, the Ladybug is topmost in the photo below, Manbug is right under it.

The 3" caly or delica IS my little inoffensive knife. :thumbup:


actually...i sometimes carry a mini Dyad as well...or a Salsa when i feel like some bright color.


I prefer the ffg, but Deacon is probably quite right.
