I was thinking about ordering these knives here tomorrow

Spyderco Endura 4
Spyderco Delica 4
Spyderco ladybug salt H1
Byrd cara cara
kabar dozier
Crkt drifter



are they any good at all or are they still lower end knives?

should I get Less knives and order maybe 1 or two HIGHER quality knives?

Im really confused i just know addicted to knives.

right now I EDC a benchmade 556 mini grip its prob my highest end knife followed by my leek and my skyline from kershaw and my tenacious, then i have a few SAK and other knives and im just looking for decent knives to Rotate into my EDC... I have about $300 to spend all those are around $200 added up. i can prob throw on one more really good knife can you suggest anything?
 
I am no knife expert but am learning daily. I just received a Kabar Dozier that I really like. It is lightweight but seems to be very well made. It is very sharp and opens and closes smoother than any other folder I have.

I am very impressed with this $20 knife.

I will probably be ordering a Cara Cara or another Byrd model in the future as they seem to have good reputations, but I have no first hand experience with them or any of the others listed.
 
Well, you're looking for other EDC knives - so why would you prefer another knife than the griptilian?

I EDC a bm707, a bm710 and sometimes a mini ritter grip (i got it 4 weeks ago and it sometimes replaced the 707) - and i wouldn't want to take a back lock or a liner lock instead of an axis lock.
Regarding the specs the 707 and 558 are quite similar but i prefer the 707for edc because it seems more discreet and the handles are.. 'massive' (it's just hard and you cant bend it)


I guess I should get a better knife than the 707/a knife that meets my expectations in a better way if I want it to compete with the 707 - otherwise the 707 will remain on my waistband and the new knife on my desk. ;)

I wouldn't buy a crkt drifter for EDC because i dont think it could compete with the sequel (and that's a prejudice, i know) but I'm keen on a bm943 or a kulgera because it may hit a 'sweet spot' regarding the blade length (a bit smaller than the 710, a bit larger than the 707 ;)) and the materials and fit and finish should stand up to the 707.
I guess I would buy a knife with a greater quality than your griptilian if I were you - at least if I'm looking for an EDC knife.

About the spydercos (especially the delica & endura): I think they're completely different but with a similar quality compared to the grippi - so if you're looking for something different - my advice: go ahead! ;)

PS.: what about a small fixed blade? :)

The ones above are the only ones I have any experience with. I would definitely go with the Endura and Delica. The Kabar Dozier folders are great lockbacks.
