I will soon be purchasing my first Spyderco.

It will be used as my "Do-it-all" blade. Hunting, pocketknife etc... Id like it to be a folder with a partially serated edge. About 4 inch blade. Black handle.

Any certain ones that you can suggest? I will be purchasing without handling any so suggest a good one!
 
Endura & Delica

Lots of different flavors with those two.You can't go wrong with them.
 
It would seem this one would be almost exactly what you are looking for.

Ya I second the endura and delica. The military is a little on the pricey side. If you are just starting with spyderco I would recommend the Tenacious above all. An excellant blade for a very low price.
 
second the Military. It's a modern classic. Of course it isn't cheap, for lower costs the Endura is pretty nice as well, though I like the feel of its FRN handle less. The splendid G10 Endura comes only in plain edge, and it costs nearly as much as the Military.
Another advantage of the Military is its open linerlock construction, which makes cleaning easier - useful for outdoor activities.
I agree that Tenacious offers a splendid quality/price.
 
If you have the money for a Spyderco Military, you should go with that. Its one of the best folders out there.
 
Yeah ppl say the Military is the best Spyderco?? Dunno but i would get that for your requirements.
 
I'd go Endura simply because I like the backlock and prefer VG-10 steel. The military is probably lighter (but if it is not by much) but it is overall a bigger knife than the Endura, but if you are going to use it for hunting the Military has a more open/easier to clean design, you can't go wrong with either but I don't do linerlocks, I stick to Spyderco backlocks and Benchmade Axis.
 
It sound like you need Military. Endura can be OK as well, but I prefer FFG blades. FFG Endura is available as well, but only in foliage green color. Police3 also great, but not available CE. (PE or SE only.)
Milly will be good
 
It seems Endura might be good choice for you. Delica would fit too for your bill... Perhaps even Manix 2?
 
Delica or Endura.

Both have stronger tips than the Millie. I also have yet to hear of either a Delica or Endura accidentally opening, unlike the Millie which has a unique compression lock.
