I have got some money to spend but cant pick what type of knife to get does any one have sugesstions. it has to be folder and $60 and under, unless it is worth the money
 
I would agree that everyone should have a Delica. It is or will be a classic. That's what I would get first, if I didn't have one.

ok.. but what do you do with an edc? everyone is different. My EDC's tend to be tougher blades because of the work I do on a daily basis.. things get chopped/scraped/sliced and whatever else I may need to do at any given moment... if you are going to be opening mail and cutting tape... your needs are different than mine, therefore the knife I would recommend would be different.
 
You gotta be a bit more specific, there are dozens of good folders that can be had for $60 and under. Do you work in an office? Do you wear jeans at work? Do you use knife as part of your job? What's the legal length limit in your state/town? Do you need/want the knife to lock? Do you need/want to open the knife one handed? And so on...
 
For the endura which is better the full flat ground or the one where it starts half down the blade.

Excellent knife but a little over his budget, I think...

Cheapest I've personally seen a Stretch 2 ZDP189 is around 90ish. I love spyderco and I think they have great value but I've always been turned off by the FRN handles, they just look really cheap to me but I know a lot of people love them.

You could go with a Tenacious if you don't need a heavy duty blade, I think it's a 3 3/8 blade length and it's all blade. Honestly for it being only like $33 it's fit and finish compares to my Sage 1 which is perfect. The only downside is the blade steel is so-so, not bad but not a super steel but for $33 price range I personally think it obliterates anything in that price range for value and if you break it/bust it, it's only $33. I almost feel bad using my BM 950 Rift because it's too nice lol.

Or you could get a Kershaw Blur with the ZDP 189 for $65 shipped from Kershawguy on the forums, it's a blem but if it's going to be your daily who cares it's going to get scratches anyways. Mine has no blade movement and locks up like a rock and it has a nice weight to it without being heavy and the blade looks pretty sweet. The blem on mine was about 1mm of the brown line on the blade was smeared a little on one side. Oh and it's assisted opening, it's pretty fast not BM nitrous stryker fast (it has 2 torsion bars I believe and blur has 1) but it's pretty dang fast.

Hope that helps some :D
 
I already have the Tenacious. What steels does the blur come in, and i realy like spyderco and thats why im looking at them the most.
 
cant go wrong with the Buck vantage pro. S30v steel, paul bos heat treat, and g10 handle scales, all for around $50!
