Para Military or Endura?

All good choices! I guess I'd pick the Delica today. My decision changes day to day though :D
 
Weekends or days like today (playing hooky) the para2. Just because you never know what you may need to cut, scrape, or pry and the beefier blade stick and handle are nice. Normal work day means a Delica if not my small sebbie.

Thanks, gang!
I have had more Para Military's and Endura's over the years but last year I got my first Delica and it went right in my pocket.
I like the P-Mil and Endura equally but the Delica won me over... at this time.
Orange Delica FFG. :)

I love the Orange and thanks for the pic.
There's something about the Spyderco FRN, Endura, Delica, that I really like!

PM2 hands down. I've been carrying a PM2 everyday for about a year now and love it. With all of the different sprints, especially recently, there really isn't a need for me to switch to something else even though I still do. I carry a delica when I'm hiking/camping or if I'm going into an arena where its legality is questionable but will go with a PM2, Stretch or GB for my daily pe carry. Nothing beats the smoothness of a PM2
 
True!^
And once I got used to the Compression Lock, the Para is my status folder.
 
Man the Frn delicas and Enduras are my roots. Lol my first "real" knife purchase was a molded in pocket clip Delica so I have a soft spot for that model. But PM2 would be my choice between the 2 you asked about. Love the compression lock and USA made. Win win

I love the feel and intuitive handling of the PM2, but it feels a little fat in the pocket if I wear it all day at work. I'm often in awkward positions and/or standing a lot and much as I love it, the PM2 sometimes gets a bit uncomfortable. So...of those 3 the Delica wins for me about 85% of the time. Other days I alternate between the PM2 and the Endura.

If I had to choose one of those three, it would be the Endura, hands down. Me being me, I'd most likely say "I have more than three pockets" and carry all three. Happily, those aren't my only choices, so the real answer is "None of the above".
 
I carry the Delica every day. If I go walking for exercise I drop an Endura in my pocket where it rides without digging into my leg and is light and comfortable. I never, I mean never, carry my one and only PM2. I do not love the knife. I do sometimes carry a Military, though. But usually either a Delica followed by an Endura. Hmmm, I think I will go look at KW and see about a new Delica or Endura.

I like that Friction folder!^
And, I have to agree... thin, is in. In the pocket! Years ago, I didn't mind a bulkier folder in my pocket but now I prefer the slimmer folder. One hardly knows the knife is in the pocket but it is.
Hi Jack! Just admit you'd EDC an Endura. ;)

Eric V, where did you get that fascinating scale on your Para 2?

Unknown maker, I picked them up from another member on the exchange. While the texture is awesome these are definitely seconds, one slab is tapered by the lanyard hole, and the micarta around the screw holes is cracked so the knife isn't very rigid since you can't tighten down the screws. I've got a set of thicker contoured brown canvas micarta ones from suingab coming soon.
