I'm on a hunt for a new EDC

Of Coca Cola, is clearly what I meant, how dare you young sir. Seriously though, the fit and finish of the value series is very very good period. Let alone what they are selling for. The 8cr sharpens nicely and performs in the same realm as aus-8 for all intents and purposes. If not now, try one at some point, you will be pleasantly surprised.

My gosh this is getting on my nerves :p. I just can't decide which one. It's a battle among the Sage 1, Sage 3, Caly 3, Chaparral CF, Dragonfly G10, and the Lum Chinese. Here's what I've been thinking:

Sage 1: Most practical out of the bunch. Really good ergos. Just a little boring though.
Sage 3: Funnest out of the bunch. Don't like the backspacer.
Caly 3: Really good looking and good ergos. I don't like how it's pinned together. With such a nice knife I'd want to take it apart to keep it clean, especially if I got something sticky in the pivot while cutting fruit or something. It's also so beautiful I'd be afraid to use it :p.
Chapparal: IDK I kinda like it, don't know why though. It's a nice size. Near the bottom of the list though.
Dragonfly G10: Really good looking and practical. I really like it, but like I said, I feel like it's too small.
Lum Chinese: Pure good looks and elegance. Least practical obviously. I'd get one if it were cheaper.

I really want to buy all of them, but I can only afford one. This is getting really annoying. Help me!

This is getting to be like the bridesmaids trying to help the bride choose a wedding dress.

Haha, sure you did :D. I've held a Tenacious before. It's more than just fit and finish though too. I would prefer the S30V (or any higher end steel for that matter) blade. If I get a Sharpmaker and get good at it it should work for hard steels. I also prefer the design of the higher end models: finger choil, wire clip (big fan of this), carbon fiber, etc.

Flow through means no backspacer; the scales are held apart by standoffs or pillars. The handle isn't closed on one side, instead air and dust can "flow through." The Kershaw Blur, Ontario RAT1, the Spyderco Tenacious, etc. are all flow through designs.

Jmflem, thanks for the clarification, that's actually what I was guessing--better to ask then make an ass of yourself!
