I don't own and have never tried a Spyderco knife . Taking all recommendations for one model best suited for edc/office environment type of life ....

My suggestion: Chaparral FRN Gray. 2.8" of XHP steel with a weight of 2oz. Has become my office carry of choice. "Lunchroom friendly" as Shabazz would say.[/QUOTE]

The Para 3 LW and Chaparral along with the native 5 Lw are what I keep bouncing around betwee . Only want one though.

Well oh my what a beautiful knife !
Slim Midi S90v Bronze Ano /Flamed DLT exclusive. It makes such a satisfying click when opening and closing. Fit and finish is amazing! Unfortunately I think this one is going back :( I was hoping to get around this from happening so under notes I asked to check for lock stick and a strong detent that won’t shake open easily. After opening and closing it a few times it developed horrible lock stick to we’re you can’t even disengage the lock bar with either hand and you have to use your index finger and it’s still difficult. Man I really like this One but pretty sure it’s going back . I’m going to see if it improves but have a feeling it won’t and my fingers are all ready getting tender lol. It might be characteristics for this model since the opening to the lock bar is very thin. I read reviews and only saw one that had this issue so thought I’d be good to go. Oh well you never know sometimes unless you try it out.
I’ll give DLT a call tomorrow and see if there all like this if not I’ll pick another and have them check it while I’m on the phone with them. There really good and they’ll help you as much as they can. Dang it I really like this knife except for the lock stick and I spent literally hours online picking this one out. Action is super super stiff to but I’d be ok with that since it’ll get better with time .
Here’s the small opening that I believe is part of the issue. That and this thin edge/opening on the lockbar area.

I just had the same exact experience with a brand new Medford Praetorian Slim I just received. Terrible lock stick and really bad lock design choices means its getting sent back. At least yours had some chamfering on the lock bar.. my praetorian slim lock bar was just a 90 degree SHARP angle. Not only does the model have no cut out on the show side for lock bar access, my lock bar side was actually lower than the show side. If that was intentional then its bad design, if not then its bad craftsmanship. That combined with the very thin opening and the terrible lock stick made it impossible to open comfortably. I liked the look of it and how thin it was, but there are some major design issues that need to be addressed. Im ok with having to break in a titanium frame lock knife (I shouldn't be since other companies have shown its not a necessity) but I cant break it in if I can barely even access the lock. Just a really big disappointment on a $500+ knife.
