Well I am looking for a Spyderco and am willing to spend up to $120

Requirements/preferences
Must be very ergonomic
Must be 3.2 ounces or less
Must have a blade of 3.25 inches or less
Prefer CPM-S30V
Prefer it not to have metal handles
Prefer a good pocket clip
Prefer it to have a grippy texture to the handle
Prefer it to have a steep thumb ramp
Prefer to be able to take the knife apart


I am considering the following
Spyderco Sage
Spyderco Caly 3

I dislike the following
Spyderco Manix, Manix 2
Spyderco Stretch 2
 
it looks like you have some good one's mentioned below your post. Have you been on to spyderco's website? they have all the spec's listed. Beyond that whichever one you buy I'm sure you will like it. You'd be hard pressed to buy a bad Spyderco in my opinion.

cheers,
sean
 
Paramilitary is in your future. :thumbup:

Must be very ergonomic check
Must be 3.2 ounces or less check-ish
Must have a blade of 3.25 inches or less check
Prefer CPM-S30V check
Prefer it not to have metal handles check
Prefer a good pocket clip check
Prefer it to have a grippy texture to the handle check
Prefer it to have a steep thumb ramp check
Prefer to be able to take the knife apart check, not so with the Caly3
 
(Edit: ^ See, I wrote this before his post showed up, and I agreed with him :D)

Sounded like you were describing the Para-Military? Get it in CPM-D2 for about $105.

And if you don't need a lock, there's the UKPK, both the original and the new drop-point (Stretch-style).
 
I'm not sure about the Para-Military because I'm very picky, I once had a knife that was 3.6 ounces and i felt it moving around in my pocket too much so i quit carrying it.
Are there any other Spydercos, aside from the ones I have mentioned that have most of my requirements?

Not really. Delica maybe. That's G-10 though and not as ergonomic as the Caly3/Para. Not S30V either.

The para carries very well for that size of knife. It's thin, and you'll hardly notice it. What does your edc take care of? What is every day clothing for you, jeans, slacks, swimsuit?

You could also look at the Salt 1, but again, not S30V.
 
Well again, look at the UKPK (assuming you don't require a lock). It has everything you mentioned in your checklist.
 
Sounds like the Para to me too.

If the S30V and taking apart specs are negotiable the Salt 1 is very light and requires little maintenance and almost at half your budget.
