Hey all,
New here but looking for a little advice. Having just unfortunately lost my previous EDC (Native III) I've been looking for a suitable replacement. I noticed the Spyderco Dodo a while ago and took a shine to it. The smaller blade size with relatively retained cutting power appealled to me as well as the blade shape, steel (CPM S30V) and grip material (G10).

Unfortunately, now they've discontinued it (why I'll never know) and they're hard as heck to find, especially the black plain edge ones. So I come to the experts for advice. Can anybody suggest a suitable replacement. I'm looking for the "little big knife" preferably less than 2.5" blade but with handle suitable for a large handed individual, good blade and handle material (G10 preferable, open to discussion on steel), decent ergos. To be used as EDC in mostly everyday conditions but out in the wilds from time to time as well. Plain edge prefered. Willing to spend up to $150.

Anybody able to give me a hand? I appreciate any and all help.

I just got my blue plain edge dodo in the mail today. I ordered it last week from Knifecenter.com. I believe they still have some left in stock. You could also try ebay or froogle.
 
I have a NIB Black Dodo PE. Send email to me. You don't have email posted so I can't send you.

S/F,
CEYA!
 
Yeah, the dodos aren't scarce just yet. The Blue dodos are WAY in shorter supply though, so if blue G10 turns you on, you might pay a little more. Should be able to get one for 80ish.
 
Fracky, if you end up not getting a Dodo, I'd take a look at the Paramilitary. It's a lot smaller and lighter than pictures had me believe. The blade is a tad longer than what you seem to want, but it's still not very long overall. It's a solid knife with grippy G10, a nice choil and ergos and the S30V blade steel you liked in your dodo. The blade cuts very well with it's full flat grind and the knife has a large handle compared to the blade. I have large hands myself and I find the para to be quite comfortable.
 
Thanks all for the replies. I've found one place that says it has the black PE but I'm not hopefull as the last two places told me they were out of stock after I had ordered. They were knifecountryUSA.com and theknifeconnection.com. The one I ordered from was cobratactical.com. It looks a little sketchy but we'll see if it bails too. Anybody know of any other places I might find one? My google-fu has not turned up anyplace else.
