Hi gang!
Just before you go out the the door to greet the day, your Para Military and your Endura, or Delica, are on the table. Which one do you clip to your pocket? :)

I choose my Endura 4 way more often than the PM2.
For some reason I keep buying PM2s and just don't carry them much.
Wind up selling after a while and decided no matter what I'm hanging onto my latest M4 version only so I won't likely buy another.
 
depends.

typically endura, but only if i need the longer blade. next would be the para, never the delica. endura can do all the delica can and more and i have no legal restrictions problems so the delica is useless to me.

i own one delica with a wave, only reason i bought it, never gets any pocket time, i always grab the endura over it.
 
I stopped using pocket clips a long time ago. I hate the way it looks and I bent way too many of them on cars, doorframes, duck blinds, etc... I just don't think it looks classy.

I have a delica in my pocket now. The endura handle was just too long for my pocket- and I'm 6'5" and 300 lbs. I have huge hands. Delica fits perfect.

Delica is too small for me and I don't carry lockback knives anyway, so it would always be PM2. I have 5 of them in my EDC rotation. (I had bought a Delica and an Endura just to try and my daughter took them both away from me.)

For a day in the city,
Pm2 just feel so right all of the time.
On the other hand,
Endura or delica are the preferred long distance travel gear.
 
Depends on intended use. If it's just a casual day requiring up to moderately difficult tasks, I lean towards a PM2. For more rigorous tasks, I have a fully serrated Endura in ZDP-189 that can literally take anything I throw at it.
 
The Endura and PM 2 see time in my edc rotation. Occasionally substitute a Stretch for the Endura.
Although the PM 2 is my favorite edc, the Endura feels so familiar as it was my daily carry knife for about 2 years before I started buying other folders.
 
Hands down the Delica. For years, I ignored it due to the price (pretty snobby of me). I always liked the Endura and the PM2. I carried a Sebenza for the longest time and was content with it, however on a whim I picked up a Delica when I lost my Seb. I do not like clipping knives to my pocket as I loose them more that way then just tossing them loose into my pocket. I have come to love lock-backs due to their ability to stay closed better than any other lock. After I carried the Delica exclusively for 4 months straight it suddenly dawned on me that I do not need nor use more of a knife then the Delica. It is perfection. Yes I still have Enduras for when I know I am going to do some light construction around the house (use only when I know I will have thick gloves on - the extra handle real-estate helps) and yes I have some Cold Steels to beat on (dear Lord they can take excessive abuse) but I always, always, always have a Delica on me. It is small, lightweight and if lost can be replaced easily (although I think I would be more upset about loosing a Delica than a Sebenza oddly). I have had the opportunity to get more sebenzas but I end up buying more Delicas. In fact I recently tried a small micarta Inkosi for two weeks or so but ended up selling it and instead now I have a fully serrated Delica, a purple Delica and a back up ZDP Delica on the way. Plus I just pre-ordered two of the new Delica Wharncliffs. Needless to say I love this gem of a knife.
