Hello everyone. I currently carry a Para 3 in Maxamet. I've been looking at getting either a Delica in K390 or an Endela in K390 and can't decide on a size that may be better. I get that the Delica is slightly smaller in every way from the Para 3 and the Endela is larger.

I'm really just wanting a nice slicy blade for basic every day things (and a reason to get a new knife)

Does anyone have any pictures that could help or any insight?
 
The Endela has more belly than the Delica, so it definitely would be slicey. The Endela is also about the same size as the PM2. So, do you want a knife that's bigger than your current carry, or smaller?

Personally I love the Delica ;)

I am leaning towards the Delica just because I honestly don't have a "need" for a larger blade in my day to day life. I live a pretty suburban / office life so I just typically do box breakdown and some food cutting with my knives. Also there are more scale options with the Delica so if I want to change I could.... But I still don't know haha.
 
If I were only buying one <shudder>, it would be the Delica.

If that's the case I say definitely go Delica. As far as EDC blades go it is perfect, in both size and function. I like my larger blades for work but they are not a necessity. The Endela in particular I find a bit erroneous since it's like taking a PM2, removing the choil and throwing a back lock on it.
 
For typical office/suburban use the Delica is more than enough knife. I carried a Delica daily for years when I lived in the city and never felt I needed a bigger blade. There’s a reason it’s one of the most popular EDCs of all time
 
The Delica is a great knife. Hard to kick it out of the pocket.
I would recommend the delica, unless you want a stouter knife then endela.

Both are great knives.

Thank you all for the input and the pictures. That was a huge help.

Now I just have to find a K390 Delica in stock!
 
I'm surprised nobody suggested the OP to get both ;) Endela and Delica are different so much so that one cannot replace your "want" for the other. If you are debating between K390 PM2 and K390 Endela, I'd suggest to get either one but not both.
 

the pocketable size is obvious
get the delica, dude.
you just can't ignore with something that
has been a favorite top pick since 1990.
