I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm looking for a new Spyderco folder. What I want is something like the Delica 4 but with a liner lock instead of the lock back. Not to many requirements but I do want VG 10 or better steel and at least as large as the Delica or larger.
Any thoughts on this, I'm looking on the Spyderco web site at the moment but that is a slow go.
 
Haven't really defined a budget, I'll pay what I need to get get the knife I'm looking for, my biggest problem is that I haven't fully defined that yet, but as they say, I'll know it when I see it.

I will take a look at the sage, thanks.

Edit: A quick look at the sage and it looks good so far. Looking at the carbon fiber scales at the moment.

My chief complaint with Spydercos is ... .

Oh wait. Never mind. That would have been WAY off your topic and I don't want to hijack your thread.

I got a better idea>> take a leap of faith and go with either the Para 2 of the C-36 Military model either one. There is something special about those GOLDEN CO USA Earth made models that really grow on you. Here lately I've been carrying my C-36 Military M390 blade along with my 440V SE Native model and there isn't anything I can't do with that Spyderco duo.

Hey I'm not at all knocking the Delica or Endura because I cut my teeth on some of those Japan made Spyders>> but there is something special about those GOLDEN CO USA made Spyders that give you confidence when working with them.

Now if price is a big determining factor then I would take a serious look at the models in the H-1 Salt Series.
 
How about the PM2. Sort of a liner lock, but better. The action on mine is insanely smooth.
 
Started with a Sage 2 and loved it -- the lock takes a bit of wear-in compared to the Sage 1, but its a beautiful knife. Cant go wrong with either of those.

As for the PM2, I have one and absolutely love the compression lock. Easiest to open and close, IMO, and super smooth. Its a good chunk longer than the delica/sage, so keep that in mind.
 
If a frame lock is optional then take a look at the Slysz Bowie. It's a perfect size weight combo for general edc application's and the build quality / fit'n finish is top-shelf.
 
Thanks for the responses guys, at the moment it looks like either the Sage or PM2, haven't quite decided yet but will most likely get one of these in the next couple of days.

Splash out for a Paramilitary 2. :thumbup:
 
Can't go wrong with the Sage or PM2. Domino might be worth a look as well.
 
I own sage 1 and PM2, I'd say the pm2 is worth it's weight in gold, but the sage has the most perfect liner lock I've ever seen and fit and finish on par or better than the pm2. I got mine LNIB for $100. I carry it mostly to more formal events as my sebenza takes up most of my pocket time.
