No choil Spyderco, please

I like both my Spydercos, a Native LW and a Sage 2. But they both lose some cutting edge to the finger choil. I'd like to try one with a better blade/handle ratio. I like the looks of the Astute. But it's made you know where, 8CR13MoV, and apparently unavailable. Anyone got an Astute? Or hasn't it been released yet? Any other reccos for a Spyderco with a full cutting edge?
 
+1 on the Millie. It has my favorite implementation of a choil ever -- consuming no more space than just having a choil-less ricasso (Endura, Delica, etc.), but fully functional as a finger choil.

I was going to suggest a Rockjumper also, it looks great. Of course, you can't go wrong with a Delica, an Endura, or their Salt variants.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Most were bigger than I usually carry. I ended up getting the Astute. It's quite nicely put together. It doesn't have the "get to work" ergos of the Native or the Sage. Or, the "solid as a titanium tank" action of the Sage. But it's cutting edge is arguably longer than the blade, with the angled plunge and non existent ricasso. The Astute takes up less room in a pocket, too. I laid it on top of my Sage, with the spines lined up.
 
Sorry but many of the above suggested spydercos have poor blade to handle ratio (Delica, PM2, Military, etc.). Not that I care about the ratio but just because that's what the OP mentioned specifically. Maybe Kapara?
 
It’s not the fanciest Spyderco out there, but the Resilience has a pretty generous cutting edge. Blade-to-handle ratio isn’t that bad. Also, for a lower-end knife, I was extremely impressed with the factory edge. Makes for a good beater knife.
