  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Help Me Decide which Spydie to purchase next.

BMCGear BMCGear , I vote the GB2 out of what you have listed. I usually like blades that are 3” - 3.3”, don’t often like hollow-ground knives, and usually despise liner-locks…. But I recently handled a Gayle Bradley 2 and it is a phenomenal knife. I agree about swapping the scales though. I’m not really a fan of Spyderco’s carbon fiber. The GB2 I handled had Micarta scales and felt really, really nice in the hand.

I personally found the PM2 handle just too big and bulky for the amount of usable blade you get.

I have no experience with the Police as it’s just waaay too much knife for me. I’d be checking out the K390 Endela instead personally.

What you should REALLY get though is a Delica Wharncliffe, lol.

K390, 20CV, Damasteel, and a couple of HAP40s pictured.

Who makes the scales for the 20cv? I did not know I could get rid of my k390 dragonfly scales.
 
Those were made by Nick from Firesideco. They only make Delica scales as far as I’m aware though. There is someone on Etsy who makes Dragonfly scales, but they can be tricky because of the integrated backspacer. Tolerances are hard to get perfect.
