D'Allara Rescue and Drop Point (PE), Dodo (SE), Native III (PE and SE), and a Spydercard (CE factory second). You can't tell from the pictures, but i have a thing for the wire pocket clips. :)

I EDC the Natives and the Dodo, though since i just got the D'Allara Drop Point i'll be carrying that too for a while.

For my next knife though i'm debating between the Centofante 4, Delica 4, or Endura 4... :D

And here they are next to the rest of my folders collection: Sog Blink, Sog Flash II, Sog Pentagon Elite II, Camillus Heat, and a cheap replica of the Protech Stinger Mini Autoknife.

Thanks for the comments. :)

The spydercard is very nice for what it is. Can't quite do much about ergonomics since it has to retain the inconspicuous credit card shape when closed, but for the light cutting chores you'll find in and around an office/hospital setting it's good enough. Being a factory second, the fit and finish aren't the greatest (obviously off center blade when closed so much that it rubs against the handle and the beadblast finish has attracted some funny spotting that i can't rub/polish/clean off). The blade is AUS6, but is still razor sharp and for a "reserve" knife it's more than adequate. Locks up tight with it's interesting variation on the framelock. I think i picked it up for about $25 sometime last summer.

Eventually i'd like to put some slots in the handle so i can hang it behind my work ID badge. :) That's the spydercards greatest strength, it's ease of concealment and benign apperance.
 
How do you like the Dodo? It's got like a weird blade shape.

What uses have you found that blade shape to be good for?
 
I haven't used the Dodo too much yet, i've only had it for about a month and it's my 2nd newest knife after my D'Allara Drop Point. :) However it tears through boxes like nothing else. From what i've read about other peoples experiences with the Dodo, they liken it to a utility knife on steroids and i'm inclined to agree. On top of that the handle fits your hand perfectly. The biggest reason why i bought it though is because it recently went out of production. :D

Oh sorry to burden you, I'd get the links for ya, but I don't have any time between this forum, that forum, and the other forum....:D
 
Thanks for sharing the pics with us, you have a nice collection! I too am a big fan of the wire clip it's the best IMHO. You said you were considering the Cento 4, I say go for it! I love mine, the Wharncliffe is more useful than one may first think.
 
Nice collection Psydoteck and welcome to the forums fellow wire clip junkie.

Hey - compare the D'allara drop point and the Native 3D for me. I'm waitng on a D'allara in the mail and need a fix before it gets here.
