I am wanting to purchase another spyderco. Not wanting to spend more than $100 on it. So far iI own:
- PM 2
- manix 2 g10
- manix 2 lightweight
- sage 1
- delica 4 in grey
- endura 4 half serrated in grey
- dragonfly 2 in orange
- dragonfly salt
- tenacious

So far I have been thinking about a purple dragonfly a blue orange or purple delica or endura or a centofante 3. What am I missing. FYI I tried a native 5 but didn't like it so I sold it.
 
Good used Stretch. If youre patient on the exchange you may be able to score a Zdp-189 version in your price range
 
The original Salt has no other name. It's a Delica 3 in H1 with a blunter point on the blade.
 
You could get 2 Delicas or Enduras of different colors you like and swap one scale off of each on to the other. Then you would have 2 unique knives.

I would also like to get the trainer model and swap the red scales on to a Zdp version. Don't know why but I've wanted a red Zdp spydie

The pacific salt is nice and I find the yellow to be friendlier looking to the sheepies and not to stabby in shape. The H1 is serrated works and last very well
 
A ZDP Stretch, as mentioned, is an awesome recommendation. If you're looking for a small knife like the DFly and don't need a locking mechanism and don't mind another black handle, I'd say check out the Squeak. I feel its an oft-overlooked, but excellent blade...so comfy, decently capable and legal just about everywhere...I just gifted one to my friend who couldn't take her BM 940 with her to GB/Ireland. With the money left over, you could definitely pick up another Endura on your list. For around that much, I'd also recommend you look into maybe a CF Chaparral. On the surface, its very similar to your Sage 1 but I personally find them to be quite different blades.

In any case, happy hunting!
 
Armenate- The Atlantic Salt is the smaller H1 folder. If you like a bigger folder, go with the Pacific Salt. I have one of each... just in case. :)
